Useful tips

If you have more time, consider a day trip to Plitvice Lakes National Park or explore more museums in Zagreb. For food enthusiasts, experience the local gastronomy through the "pingvini na ledu" (Penguins on Ice) food tour. Furthermore, you can choose to add a thrilling escape room experience at the Escape Room Enigmarium Zagreb. If you have less time, you can cut short the Terme Tuhelj experience or decide to visit either the Mimara museum or the Croatian History Museum instead of both in the second day itinerary.
