Plitvica selo is a quiet village in the Lika-Senj County of Croatia, located adjacent to the famous Plitvice Lakes National Park.

Accommodation options within the village itself are limited. It is advisable to base yourself in nearby Kostajnica or further away in Senj to access a wider range of hotel facilities and better transport links, while still maintaining convenient access to the national park.
With no major airport, travelers typically fly into Rijeka or Zadar, then transfer via bus or rental car. Walking is sufficient for exploring local nature trails, but external transport is necessary to reach main attractions efficiently.
Spring and autumn offer the best visiting conditions with mild weather and fewer crowds. Summer provides stunning scenery but attracts dense tourist numbers, while winter may see closures due to snow, requiring prior confirmation of accessibility.
