WHAT TO SEE AND DO IN ZAGREB

If you’ve decided to book a trip to Zagreb from Zaragoza, you might be wondering what to see in the capital of Croatia. Zagreb is a city full of history, with fascinating architecture, a dynamic cultural life and many charming corners. From its historic squares to its cobbled streets, there’s plenty to discover in this Central European gem.

Green Horseshoe

A good place to start a tour of Zagreb is at the Train Station , where the legendary Orient Express stopped, and which marks the beginning of a succession of eight parks known as the Green Horseshoe due to its “U” shape.

These parks, which stretch for up to 3 kilometres and are surrounded by buildings from the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, connect the square in front of the station, with the monument to the first Croatian king, Tomislav, to the popular Ban Jelacic Square. During the walk, you can visit the Art Pavilion and the Zrinjevac Gardens.

Square of Trg Josipa Jelacica

The heart of the city, ideal for starting any tour and immersing yourself in the daily life of Zagreb. The square is dominated by the equestrian statue of Josip Jelačić, Croatian national hero, and is a meeting point for locals and tourists.

Just a few metres from the square is the commercial Ilica Street, where trams run constantly. You can also go up to the Zagreb 360 viewing platform, from where you can get the best views of the city.

Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary

Located in the Kaptol district, this impressive Gothic-style cathedral is the tallest building in Croatia. It was built in the 11th century but has undergone several reconstructions, most recently after the 2020 earthquake that damaged part of its structure.

Inside, the highlights include frescoes, sculptures and the impressive main altar. This is a must-see for anyone wishing to learn about Zagreb’s history and religious architecture.

Dolac Market

Located near the cathedral, this market is the largest and most famous in Zagreb. Covered with red umbrellas, it opens every morning and offers fresh products such as fish, cheeses, sausages and typical flowers such as Croatian lavender.

It is an ideal place to immerse yourself in the daily life of the city, watch the merchants and taste some of the local products at the nearby food stalls and terraces.

Stone Gate

The only remaining gate of Zagreb’s old medieval city walls. Passing through it, visitors find a chapel with an image of the Virgin Mary, protected by candles and votive offerings left by the faithful over the centuries.

This place is a point of devotion for the people of Zagreb, and its history dates back to 1731, when a fire destroyed the wooden door, but the image of the Virgin remained intact, becoming an object of worship.

St. Mark’s Church

One of the most iconic churches in Zagreb, famous for its colourful tiled roof depicting the coat of arms of Croatia and the city of Zagreb. Its construction dates back to the 13th century, and its façade features sculptures and a portico decorated with Gothic details.

Lotrščak Tower

Located in the Upper Town, this medieval tower offers spectacular panoramic views of Zagreb. It is known for its cannon, which fires a thunderous blast every day at 12:00 noon, a tradition dating back to the 19th century.

Climbing the tower is one of the best ways to see the city from above and learn about one of its oldest traditions.

Museum of Broken Relationships

This unique museum in the world brings together objects and testimonies of stories of heartbreak. Each piece on display has been donated by someone who has experienced a breakup, making it an emotionally impactful exhibition.

Housed in a baroque palace in the Upper Town, the museum has gained international recognition for its originality and content.

Zagreb Funicular

The world’s shortest funicular, just 66 metres long, connects the Upper Town to the Lower Town in less than a minute. It’s a unique tourist attraction and a quick way to get around the city.

Mirogoj Cemetery

Considered one of the most beautiful cemeteries in Europe, it stands out for its arches, sculptures and mausoleums. As well as being a resting place for important Croatian figures, it is a masterpiece of funerary art.

Croatian National Theatre

Built in 1895, this neo-baroque building has been the setting for some of the country’s best opera and ballet performances. Its striking yellow façade and cultural history make it a must-see.

Gric tunnel

This underground tunnel, built as an air raid shelter during World War II, runs through the Upper Town and is now used as an exhibition and performance space.

Tkalčićeva Street

One of the liveliest streets in Zagreb, full of terraces, bars and restaurants. Ideal for enjoying local cuisine and immersing yourself in the city’s nightlife.
