Cakovec is located just one hour north of Zagreb and is the perfect stopping point if you are traveling to nearby Hungary, Slovenia or Austria, or you are looking to escape Zagreb for a few days. Every summer, Cakovec holds one of the best festivals in Croatia called Porcijunkulovo where you can experience the history, culture, fun and nightlife. The area is also very famous for it’s white wine varieties!

Where is it: Međimurje County

How to get here: Drive one hour north from Zagreb.
