UNESCO World Heritage Sites found here

courtyards, and buildings sprawling through the old town; the
Old City of Dubrovnik, Croatia; and Plitvice Lakes.
Travelers will enjoy a presentation of the world-famous
Lipizzaner horses at the Lipica Stud Farm; take a delightful cruise
to the magnificent Istrian peninsula to explore Brijuni Island,
former Yugoslavia leader Titos paradise; and gain insight into
the local people and their culture during a culinary feast in
the culturally-rich Konavle region.
Gateway to Central Europe
Intriguing by itself, Croatia and Slovenia are also great pivot
points for excursions to
more traditionally-visited neighboring European countries like
Austria, Italy, even Hungary. Many travelers have heard of
Dubrovnik but beyond that know very little about the Adriatic
coast, including the historically rich, alpine country of
Slovenia which was once part of Yugoslavia. Fewer still are
familiar with the geographic location of the Adriatic region and
its close proximity and easy accessibility to other interests in
Europe.
The tour will depart the fashionable resort town of Bled for the
Bavarian Alps and a tour of Salzburg, Austria, a city that is
rich in both culture and history. The tour of Old Town includes
such sights as the Cathedral, Mozarts birthplace and Mirabell
Gardens. From Austria, clients will make their way to the city
of Munich, Germany, where a final get-together will be at a
special Farewell Dinner with fellow travelers to commemorate the
tours end. Source: Group Travel Blog
