Description
Private Day Trip from Zagreb to Marija Bistrica
Escape the city and experience the spiritual and cultural heart of Croatia on this private day trip from Zagreb to Marija Bistrica — the country’s most famous pilgrimage site and one of the most peaceful towns in the Zagorje region.
Your journey begins with a comfortable ride in a Mercedes-Benz E-Class or V-Class, driven by a professional English-speaking chauffeur.
As you leave Zagreb behind, the landscape opens into the gentle green hills of Hrvatsko Zagorje, a region filled with vineyards, villages, and a calm, timeless beauty.
In just under an hour, you’ll reach Marija Bistrica, home to the Basilica of Our Lady of Bistrica — a national shrine and the most visited Marian sanctuary in Croatia. Inside the basilica, you’ll find the revered black wooden statue of the Virgin Mary, a centuries-old symbol of faith and hope.
Outside, stroll through the peaceful town square, discover local artisans selling handcrafted souvenirs and rosaries, and walk the Way of the Cross up Calvary Hill, which offers sweeping views over the surrounding countryside.
After some free time to explore, reflect, or enjoy a coffee in one of the nearby cafés, your chauffeur will drive you comfortably back to Zagreb.
