Things To Do in ZAGREB
Things To Do in ZAGREB Croatia. I’m Rok and I’ve spent last 8 years travelling around Europe as a tour guide and I want to show you my favourite 10 Things To Do In Zagreb Croatia. I prepared Zagreb travel guide to help you organise your trip to Zagreb. I will take you around Croatian capital city Zagreb, to show you my favourite Zagreb Attractions.
Here is my Top 10 Zagreb list:
00:00 - Intro
00:24 - 10. King Tomislav Square
This is one of the biggest squares in Zagreb named after king Tomislav, the first Croatian king from 925. Behind this square there are two more parks and that connect Main Train station with the city centre.
02:32 - 9. Zagreb museum of broken relationships
Zagreb has more museums per capita than any other city in the world. They also have different and interesting museums like this museum devoted to break-ups. Inside is a large collection of seemingly random items, each accompanied by a panel explaining their significance to a relationship that didn’t work out or ended in a tragic way.
03:35 - 8. Mirogoj Cemetery
It is half park, half cemetery. This is considered to be one of the most beautiful cemeteries in Europe.
04:35 - 7. Zagreb main square - Ban Jelačić
This is Zagreb main square and the social heart of Zagreb. Most of the buildings around the square date from the 19th century. This is the best starting point in Zagreb since this square is part of pedestrian area and you are within walking distance of all the major attractions. In the middle of the square there is a statue of a national hero after whom the square is named.
06:25 - 6. Dolac market
Most visited and best known Famers market in Zagreb. It is a combination of traditional open market with stalls and a sheltered market below. In the open air part of the market farmers from surrounding villages come to sell their home grown fruit and vegetables. In the covered market are butchers, fishmongers and ladies selling cheese and cream.
07:47 - 5. Tkalciceva Street
Before this street emerged here was a creek separating two towns that didn't like each other too much: One was Kaptol, town for clergy and the other was Gradec town for artisans and tradesmen. In late 19 century they covered a creek and this street was created. At the time it was famous as the red light district full of brothels. Today it is a popular pedestrian café street lined with cafes, restaurants, and small shops on both sides.
09:08 - 4. Stone Gate
The only remaining gate from the old city wall of town Gradec, one of the two old towns of todays Zagreb. This gate were built in 13 century and besides being a historic gate they serve as an open-air chapel. If you come here, take a moment, light a candle and pray for health, happiness, good luck and love.
11:16 - 3. Zagreb Catedral
The tallest building in Croatia, with 108 meters or 355 feet. It is a Roman Catholic church from 13 century built in Gothic style. It has a status of cathedral and it is the most important church in Croatia.
13:37 - 2. Zagreb tower - Lotroscak tower
Tower was built in the 13th century to guard the southern gate of the Gradec town wall one of the two old towns of todays Zagreb. It was named after the bell in the tower that rang every evening before the town gates closed. Later tower served as a prison. Nowadays it houses a gallery and an art shop, and the view from the top is well worth the climb. This tower also holds one of Zagrebs landmarks, Zagreb cannon named Grič cannon that fires every day at noon.
15:46 - 1. St. Mark Church - Zagreb church
This is one the oldest buildings and one of Zagrebs landmarks. It is roman catholic church constructed in the 13th century. It has uniquely colourful tiled roof featuring the coat of arms of Zagreb and coat of arms of Croatia, Dalmatia and Slavonia. The Gothic portal, composed of 15 figures in shallow niches, was sculpted in the 14th century. Sculptures presented Virgin Mary with the Child, Christ, St.Mark and the apostles.
