The national park is open from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM during the summer months of June, July, and August. The best time to visit the park is ideally at 8:00 AM when it opens, as the crowds are minimal at that time. Later in the day, the number of visitors increases significantly, so it’s better to avoid the rush. A visit to the national park typically takes about 2-3 hours. Besides early in the morning, you can also visit later in the afternoon when the number of visitors is lower.
Regarding the question of whether tickets are cheaper after 3:00 PM: Yes, that’s correct. The ticket price is reduced to encourage afternoon visits and help alleviate the morning crowds. Therefore, ticket prices after 3:00 PM are 25% cheaper.
The ticket price during the morning hours (June, July, August) is €40 for adults and €20 for children, while after 3:00 PM, the price is €30 for adults and €11.25 for children. A detailed price list can be found on the Krka National Park website.
