The northern city of Varaždin has once again been recognised as hosting the most beautiful Advent in Croatia.
For the second year running, Advent in Varaždin has claimed the title of “The Most Beautiful Advent in Croatia” in the annual competition organised by the portal Gradonačelnik.hr on its Facebook page.
The enchanting Advent experience in Varaždin was further validated by the jury’s recognition. Varaždin decisively defended its title in the large cities category, earning 5,818 likes – double the 2,662 likes garnered by second-place Bjelovar.
Additionally, Advent in Varaždin received another accolade: it was deemed the most beautiful Advent across all participating cities by the jury.
In total, during the seven days of voting, posts about Advent in Varaždin accumulated 7,907 likes and were viewed by an impressive 74,459 Facebook users.
The fourth edition of this competition, held under the patronage of the Ministry of Tourism and Sport, saw participation from 40 cities and 17 municipalities. In the large cities category, which included cities with over 35,000 residents and county seats, nine cities competed.
Over the seven-day period, nearly 50,000 visitors to Gradonačelnik.hr’s Facebook page cast their votes for their favourites, while the competition’s posts reached more than 1.4 million users.
The magical Father Christmas Village, a key attraction that once again delighted children and festive enthusiasts alike, alongside a diverse programme of events, rich offerings, and high-quality musical performances, attracted a significant number of visitors.
These included not only locals but also guests from neighbouring countries.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our residents and visitors, whose votes and support helped secure this well-deserved recognition for our Advent.
This affirms that Varaždin is a must-visit Advent destination, offering a unique festive experience.
Inspired by these new accolades and the overwhelmingly positive feedback, especially from our youngest visitors, we are already seriously planning and preparing for next year’s Advent. One thing we can promise: even more surprises and magic.
But the fun at the “Most Beautiful Advent in Croatia” isn’t over yet. If you have the chance, Advent in Varaždin is open until the 6th of January.
