The offer consists of two packages: a four-day Spa Break in Zagorje or a four-day City Break in Zagreb priced at 180 Euros or 220 Euros per person respectively. The offer also features numerous other benefits such as hotel accommodation with full use of all services, a visit to the surrounding area, a visit to one of the nearby museums, and one complimentary meal in a restaurant or rural household offering catering services.
