Classy Side of Zagreb

Compared to other big capitals in Europe and worldwide, Zagreb can seem quite calm, chill, sometimes even a boring city. But it is far from that. When you know where to go, what to see and who to meet - it becomes an exciting, fun place with great food, interesting conversations and very pleasant atmosphere. Whether you like relaxing coffee breaks, cultural events, nights out, fine dining or modern places that serve unusual food combinations, beer or wine tasting, funky museums - you can find it all in this city and most of it is in a walking distance!

Locals love to spend their free time in coffee shops, fancy modern brunch places and outdoor terraces. But to enjoy like a local, you need to understand how life in Zagreb works.

For example, if you want to enjoy the busy and vibrant city atmosphere, be in Zagreb on any Saturday morning, go to Ban Jelačić Square, visit Dolac Market and Flower Square, find your spot in Tkalčićeva Street or take a walk in Zrinjevac Park.

If you prefer nature and solitude, go to Maksimir Park during the week and make sure you have at least 2 hours free to enjoy the peace and quiet of the city’s oasis.

Zagreb was largely influenced by old Austrian architecture styles and lifestyle. You can see that in the Downtown houses and palaces in the Green Horseshoe zone that consists of 7 squares and a Botanical Garden that surround the city center. Whatever was happening in Vienna throughout the Habsburg period was eventually imitated and introduced in Zagreb. That part of history in Zagreb and Croatia had a very important formative influence in politics, architecture and economy.

But Zagreb also has its own vibe. Created by the citizens for the citizens. It is the capital of Croatia and a metropolitan center of the country. Zagreb can become your next favorite city if you plan your stay wisely ! Choose your local tour guide, start with a city tour and get the best experience.
