Hello, we are coming to Croatia is summer and we were wondering what Plitvice Lakes entrance is better at that time, 1 or 2? We will be visiting early in the morning in July. Appreciate it!
Hello, I would strongly suggest going early in the morning so you start your tour before the big tour groups arrive as they arrive 1 hour - 2 after opening time. We visit everything by going to entrance number 2 so you can sightsee the upper lakes almost alone and then when going to bottom part of the lakes you start to encounter groups but at least you had 1 part of the park all to your self :). Check the articles below if you need a Plitvice Lakes guide, how to reach it or where to stay near Plitvice. I would also strongly suggest visiting Rastoke!
