The Cathedral of Zagreb is a grand Roman Catholic edifice that underwent restoration in the 1990s. It hosts concerts like The Organs of the Zagreb Cathedral and Evenings on Gric cycle. The cathedral is a significant part of Zagreb's iconic buildings, along with other landmarks such as Croatian National Theatre and St. Mark's Church.
It is a great piece of architecture just 100 meters from main square. Inside it is very beautiful. It has a small connection with Las Vegas. A Croatian owner of a casino in Las Vegas had gifted them 3 chandeliers which are prominently displayed though they look little out of place. The atmosphere inside was very calm and soothing. It is better to see with a guide who can explain the great historical background. Worth seeing !!
Balkrishna S — Google review
The cathedral has been under renovation for a few years now, but it still is a pleasant sight to see. Under renovation means no access to the inside as well; was gated off for the majority of the time. It is the second tallest building in Croatia and the most monumental sacral building of Gothic architecture southeast of the Alps.
Mat B — Google review
Looks interesting from the outside, but it's temporarily closed (due to further renovations?). There are some old Medieval-looking city walls and fortifiations right next to the cathedral, but those are also inaccessible (at least from the sides nearest the cathedral) due to the work being done.
Karyn — Google review
It's unfortunate that this cathedral is being renovated and temporarily closed barricaded with scaffolding. This renovation seems forever. At the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, gold sculpture is there to behold.
Jun H — Google review
It was closed for renovation during my visit, but the massive artistic structure looked very impressive from the outside.
Deepak P — Google review
Zagreb Cathedral is a prominent site dominating the city skyline with its twin Gothic towers. It's set in the very center on a small hill. However, it is still under renovation due to a recent earthquake which damaged it, so you cannot enter it
Dejan B — Google review
Unfortunately, the cathedral is currently under restoration. The upper part of the building is completely covered with scaffolding. However, we recommend visiting this place. There is a beautiful park with old trees, a seminary and other beautiful old buildings nearby. We expect the restoration to be completed and this beautiful cathedral to be opened in about a year
Fernanda C — Google review
Zagreb Cathedral, officially known as the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It’s the most iconic landmark in Zagreb, Croatia. Unfortunately the towers are currently under restoration, which is why you see the scaffolding and printed coverings depicting the original facade. This Gothic-style cathedral is not only a religious center but also a key symbol of the city.

Observation Decks & Towers
Lotrščak Tower, also known as Kula Lotrscak, is a 13th-century Romanesque tower located in Zagreb. Originally built to guard the southern gate of the Gradec town wall, it has become one of the city's most iconic landmarks. The tower features an observation area that provides panoramic views of Zagreb and its surroundings.
We climbed the stairs from the busy shopping streets, hustling around after a good lunch — ufff, it took a bit of effort, but the view from Lotrščak Tower made it worth it. Beautiful panoramic look over Zagreb’s rooftops, especially in the afternoon light. We missed the 12 noon cannon shot (heard it’s a daily tradition), but it’s a cool bit of history to catch if you time it right. After soaking in the view, we stopped by a lovely local shop nearby. The whole spot gives a very old-town charm — definitely a must-do while walking through Upper Town!
Chandru' M — Google review
Climbed up around early evening—paid €3 per person, which felt like a steal for the breathtaking 360° panorama of Zagreb. From the top deck you can see the red-tiled rooftops of the Upper Town, the sprawl of the lower city, and the distant hills and mountains framing everything beautifully. The climb is steep and narrow (about three floors of stairs with a small museum of historical photos and cannon exhibits along the way), so it might not be ideal for anyone with serious mobility issues, but the payoff is absolutely worth it. When we visited it wasn’t busy at all—just the right crowd level to soak in the view without jostling—and we spent a good half hour up there taking it all in. Highly recommend as an affordable, unforgettable stop in Zagreb—don’t skip it!
Francesco C — Google review
The entry ticket of €6 for the watch tower entrance was totally worth it. The spiral staircase was narrow but well maintained. The steep 116 steps climb was daunting at first but there were two landings. It was a brilliant day the views were spectacular
Varsha D — Google review
It was nice, with a view of the town. Don’t expect something very tall or a large place. They shoot every day at 12. It was cool to be there at 12, as all tourists gather together and count down. Overall all a must-visit place in Zagreb if you ask me.👍
Negin G — Google review
This is one of the more "touristy" places to visit in Zagreb but admittedly it was absolutely worth it. If you can make it a little before noon you can watch the cannonier load and fire the cannon and if you can make the climb up the narrow winding stairs you'll be rewarded with probably the best 360 view of the whole city. The cashiers at the entrance could have been a tad more courteous but alas, it wasn't that much of a bother. Worth a visit, recommended!
Gzr F — Google review
Totally worth going! The view is truly stunning. Recommendation: Have a smoothie down at the “Roots” bar at the bottom of the stairs after your climb, they are excellent! 🤗👍🏻
Jürgen E — Google review
Just in time for the Gric Cannon at noon time. Great experience , we also entered the tower and climbed all the way to the top for a great view of Zagreb, too bad it seems the whole Zagreb is under renovation for some reason

Saint Mark’s Church is a monumental Catholic church in Zagreb, constructed in the 13th century and located in St. Mark's Square. The church features a medieval-style architecture with a Baroque bell tower added in the 17th century. Its most recognizable feature is the colorfully tiled roof depicting the city's emblem and Croatian coat of arms, making it a popular spot for history enthusiasts and photographers alike.
A church with a unique, very beautiful roof. It is located in the very center, I definitely recommend visiting it when walking around Zagreb. It is currently under restoration, does not work, but they promise to open it soon.
Andraz P — Google review
St. Mark's Church dates back to 13 cent and is located on top of the upper town on the same name square housing the Croatian parliament next door. Most distinctive and eye catching feature are the Croatian and Zagreb coat of arms on its roof. Unfortunately the Church is closed currently for renovations.
Dejan B — Google review
Saint Mark’s Church in Zagreb’s Upper Town is a stunning sight, even from the outside. Its colorful tiled roof with Croatia’s and Zagreb’s coats of arms is unique and eye-catching. The Gothic portal looks impressive, but you can’t get too close due to barriers. It’s a bit disappointing it’s closed for repairs, but still worth seeing. The square around it feels historic and lively despite the restrictions.
Ramdas P — Google review
Unfortunately it’s close at the moment so you can only see it from outside or the best view of the roof you can take it from the Lotrscak Tower. If you go during the weekend in the summer from 5 to 8pm you can see few people dressed with the old time fashion.
Gloria S — Google review
1 | St. Mark’s Church in Zagreb dates back to the 13th century, making it one of the city’s oldest architectural monuments. It is easily recognized by its vividly tiled roof, which displays the coats of arms of the medieval Triune Kingdom of Croatia‑Slavonia‑Dalmatia and the City of Zagreb. 2 | The church roof is very photogenic, and the site is worth a visit. During our stay in Zagreb in July 2025, the church was under renovation, and construction container towers were set up in front of it. The interior couldn't be visited, and it was nearly impossible to take a decent photo of the church.
Petr N — Google review
St. Mark’s Church, located in Zagreb’s historic Upper Town (Gornji Grad), is one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks, largely due to its striking tiled roof. This colorful roof features two coats of arms made from glazed ceramic tiles. On the left side is the emblem of the former Kingdom of Croatia, Slavonia, and Dalmatia, representing the union of these historical regions. It combines a red-and-white checkerboard for Croatia, three lion heads for Dalmatia, and a marten running across a field with a star above for Slavonia. On the right side of the roof is the coat of arms of the city of Zagreb. It shows a white, three-towered city gate on a blue background, symbolizing openness and protection, with a golden six-pointed star and crescent moon above it. The roof was added during a major restoration in the late 19th century, reflecting both national pride and the Gothic revival style of the time. Today, it serves not only as a beautiful architectural feature but also as a meaningful symbol of Croatia’s history and Zagreb’s civic identity. The church is currently closed. Croatia's main political activities (Parliament) is also located on St Mark's Square.
KloudManc — Google review
Clean, quiet, colourful roof stands out beautifully against the autumn blue sky. Go around to view it from the back also.
Bren K — Google review
Saint Mark’s Church uniquely colourful tiled roof makes it a Zagreb icon! Also, it is one of the oldest buildings in the city dating from the 13th century. Depending on the time or day, this section of the main square is bordered off by security due to government meetings so you may not get to see inside the church!

The Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb is housed in a grand neo-Baroque building dating back to 1895. Designed by the Viennese firm Hellmer and Fellner, it was opened by Emperor Franz Josef himself. The theater's stately interior can be admired during its impressive opera, ballet, and drama performances. Outside the theater stands Ivan Strovic's lifelike sculpture 'Fountain of Life,' depicting four couples around a small pool of water.
A beautiful building with exceptional architecture and beautiful halls. We had booked a tour during the day and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Zagreb. The tour was with a guide whose stories and knowledge about the theater and its history were simply fascinating. We had the opportunity to see rooms that are intended only for those who work there, We saw the dressing room, the rehearsal room, we walked along the corridors where only the ballet dancers go when they go to the stage, the equipment with which great effects are achieved during a performance. I could endlessly list the places we saw and the interesting facts about this theater that the tour guide told us. We were very lucky to touch what happens behind the curtains and the stage. I highly recommend this tour and I can say that it was the greatest experience of our visit to Zagreb.
Stanka T — Google review
A wonderful ambient to spend a few hours from time to time. The building is after so many years inspiring but requires a thorough renovation. Low maintenance and the earthquake took its toll. Apart from the building the square surrounding it also requires action. There should be no discussion about the square, it should be released of all political burdens and simply given the name it can withhold for the future:Kazališni trg. This was and is and should be the pivot point of Croatian cultural heritage and future.
Ivica Z — Google review
I love this theater and would like to rate it with five stars but the process of getting a ticket for a performance was just too cumbersome. I was visiting with my brother and a performance of Peer Gynt was there on the day we arrived. I tried to purchase tickets online but the website would allow me to do so as it requires a Croatian bankcard. I emailed the box office and they said they'd hold two tickets for me at the box office but three days prior I'd have to confirm that I wanted to attend. I did this and don't regret it. The performance was excellent and a great way of experiencing the culture of Croatia. The building is beautiful and of significant historical value. On the day I arrived I went to the box office at the time when the email from the box office said they'd be open. It was closed. I walked over and got lunch and came back when the sign said it would be open and there was no one in the office. I called out and someone came from the back and said the system was down and I'd need to come back in two hours. I told them I was there to pick up tickets for that nights performance and insisted on getting the tickets. All of a sudden the system was able to give me the tickets and accept my payment. The tickets they held for me were the worst in the house. To say the least I was very disappointed as I had contact the box office four months prior to my visit and they should that seats were available all over the theater. I even mentioned in the email the seats I was trying to reserve. But instead of saving those seats for me, they held the two worst seats in the house.

Okay place to walk and stop for a while. To drink or to catch your breath. Enjoy the scenery. Lots of bench. Easy to reach through tram.

Teatro Nacional Croata is an elegant and historic venue that showcases the grandeur of Croatian culture. Its architecture is stunning, with ornate interiors and a beautifully preserved facade. The performances—whether opera, ballet, or theater—are of high quality and attract both locals and visitors. The acoustics are excellent, and the atmosphere is refined yet welcoming. A must-visit for culture lovers seeking an authentic artistic experience in Croatia.

Stone Gate is a historic city gate in Zagreb's Old Town, dating back to the 13th century and serving as part of the city's fortification. It now houses a small chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary, drawing pilgrims who believe in its miraculous healing powers. The gate is adorned with candles from visitors offering silent prayers, creating a serene atmosphere.
It is the only preserved medieval city gate in Zagreb, originally built in the early 13th century as part of the city’s defensive walls. In 1731, a major fire destroyed most of the structure, but miraculously, a painting of the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus remained untouched by the flames. Since then, the site has been regarded as a shrine dedicated to the Virgin Mary, with prayers, candles, and messages of gratitude continuously offered. Each year on May 31, a special celebration in honor of the Virgin Mary takes place here.
Seokjin H — Google review
A very interesting place. It is better to come early in the morning, so that there are no crowds of tourists. It is interesting to look at the huge number of plaques with requests. Nearby is a monument to St. George the Victorious.
Andraz P — Google review
Is one of Zagreb’s most historic landmarks and an important spiritual place for locals. Walking through the old gate feels like stepping back in time. Many people stop to light a candle or say a prayer, making it both a cultural and religious symbol of the city. A must-see when exploring the Upper Town.
Alvaro L — Google review
This special place is called Kamenita vrata. It is one of the most famous attractions of the city, one of the symbols of Zagreb, a famous passage through which no one passes indifferent. After the fire on May 30-31, 1731, an almost completely preserved image of the Mother of God was found on the site of the fire near Kamenita vrata. Furthermore, on May 31, 1991, the Mother of God of Kamenita vrata was proclaimed the patron saint of Zagreb. The same date is also celebrated as the day of the city of Zagreb.

June 2025 The Stone Gate (Kamenita vrata) was constructed between 1242 and 1266. Within its walls lies a shrine dedicated to the Mother of God of the Stony Gate. The walls of the shrine contain prayers carved into the marble. There is a table to light candles for prayer. This statue at the entrance portrays Saint George honoring the dragon after his victory over it.
Helma — Google review
Legend has it that this was a city gate and a fire destroyed the wooden structures around it, leaving a painting of Madonna and the Baby Jesus unharmed. It has become a holy place to worship. Interesting to visit for it's history, but I have trouble giving it a tourist rating other than about low four stars as it is understated. It is a religious site so that makes it worth the pilgrimage.

The Croatian Museum of Naïve Art, located in a historic palace, is dedicated to showcasing the works of outsider Croatian artists. The museum houses a collection of nearly two thousand paintings, sculptures, and drawings from the 20th century. While most of the exhibited works are by Croatian artists, there are also pieces by international artists.
Fantastic little museum for folk and naive art lovers. Small but so exiting! Lovely people working there. Just to see works of Ivan Rabuzin was worth losing the breath climbing. Extraordinary!
Ksenia S — Google review
Second visit, accompanying a friend. Got 20 percent off with Zagreb card and I would still say the best thing about this place might be the reasonably priced gift shop (which has scope for expansion,as only a few of the works seen in the museum are available in the shop). You walk through 5 rooms, and can comfortably see everything in 15 minutes.

cute little museum with fairly priced entrance fee of 5€ (for students 3.50€). there was a lot of informative texts to learn from and there were also surveys that you can fill in for the museum, which i found very cool since this is a good way for visitors to communicate with the museum even though it’s indirectly.

It is the world’s first museum dedicated to naïve art, primarily showcasing works by 20th-century Croatian artists from the Hlebine School, along with selected pieces by international naïve art artists. The museum holds a collection of over 1,900 works, with approximately 80 pieces on permanent display.

The Museum of Broken Relationships, located in a baroque palace, showcases personal items from past relationships along with brief synopses. It is a popular tourist attraction and features donated items with humorous descriptions available in multiple languages through QR codes and printed books. Visitors can also contribute their own relationship mementos to enrich the museum's collection. The museum has been recognized for its innovation by receiving the Kenneth Hudson Prize from the European Museum Forum.
An amazing museum. The stories really cut through. Some of them were funny but a lot of them were emotional and really touching. It certainly brings back memories and/or a way to feel things buried deep. Such a beautiful idea and the contributions were just superb. The staff were just lovely too! Well done all!!

A must-go museum that displays an array of relics of lost and broken love. Reading various related stories was so interesting, and I had a very impressive time there. The clerks inside were so kind, and they had a decent souvenir shop and an inside café to chill myself after passing through a lot of heartbreaking stories. If I could, I would rate this place 6 out of 5 stars.

Donor’s also offer a vignette of the relationship behind the objects. Decide for yourself, if and where you fit into these stories , and have a cathartic experience for a few hours. There are 5-6 small rooms , lots of interesting readings that require 1-2 hours of your time. Clever idea to put together this collection. One that will keep growing as long as humanity is involved!

Wonderful little museum filled with mementos and poignant stories about the people, things, events and places that we fall in love with and have to let go. If you enjoy stories about being human and want to experience a different kind of museum filled with humanity then you must go. I thoroughly enjoyed! Spent about 1-1.5 hours there. Nice, comfortable cafe attached. This is in historic old town or upper town

Based off the name of this museum, you’d expect it to be rather depressing… and it kinda is, but in a touching way. Genuine stories, genuine heartbreak, real people. It’s a Museum of Broken Relationships, as the name implies… but, of all kinds of broken relationships, some of which will give you a laugh. Some of which… don’t. I bought my tickets in advance, but when I got there it was rather empty (I went October 1), so it was very easy. I have heard it can get quite busy though, which is why I got tickets in advance. Don’t skip this.

What a fantastic idea for a museum! So glad our walking tour guide recommended this. It was sad, funny, emotional and heartbreaking as well as some heart warming stories. Definitely a must see in Zagreb.

I really liked it and I think it is a must see if you are in Zagreb! You have to do a lot of reading but it is worth it. The stories are as different as the objects and whats very cool - they are from around the world. Some you may like, some may bore you, some may leave something to think about. This is a bit different kind of museum as we are used to but thats another beauty of it🥰

We came here as we'd heard of it as a must see and unique tourist attraction, as well as the fact that it was open quite late in the night when we had some free time. The entry fee was €7 per adult and overall, I was very disappointed. The museum is only made up of about 5 or so rooms with mementos from past relationships, each with a note detailing the backstory of the piece. None of the items themselves are really that interesting, and you'd have to do a lot of reading about each item to understand the meaning behind them. However, most of the stories are just average break up stories and I didn't feel emotionally engaged by any of them. The most interesting part for me was reading the guest book at the back with some pretty funny comments on there. If it was a free museum then I would say go there since it's a very unique concept so it could be interesting. But paying €7 to look at some objects from broken relationships, it's not really worth it.

Cemetery
Sights & Landmarks
Mirogoj cemetery, located on a hillside north of downtown Zagreb, is a renowned burial ground designed by architect Hermann Bolle. Opened in 1872, it boasts an impressive entrance with a long brick wall topped by green cupolas. The parklike cemetery features paths lined with horse chestnut trees and black marble graves, serving as the final resting place for individuals of various faiths including Roman Catholic, Serbian Orthodox, Jewish, and Muslim.
walked for an hour from central Zagreb. It’s full of stories & memories for Croatians for 3 Centuries. Unfortunately many parts are under renovation & closed. It is still grand & solemn. there are grand graves for rich families for 5-6 generations. But also neglected small unknown graves. God bless their souls.

We were surprised when our guide Ante told us that he is taking us to a cemetery to see it. When we reached there then we realised it is much more than a cemetery. The entrance was beautiful and so was the inside with excellent arcades, sculptures and garden, It had a lot of history behind it which was explained to us. It was built by famous architect Hermann Bolle The people of different religions like Christians, Muslims and Jews were buried there. The local people come here just to use beautiful garden. We were surprised when told that rich people buy their grave place here well in advance and it is expensive.
Balkrishna S — Google review
Visiting Mirogoj Cemetery felt more like a stroll through a serene sculpture park than a traditional burial ground. The arcades designed by Hermann Bollé are simply breathtaking—graceful arches, ivy-covered facades, and dignified mausoleums that reflect both sorrow and beauty. Despite some areas still showing damage from past earthquakes, the atmosphere remains profoundly tranquil. This place isn’t just architecturally stunning; it’s a cultural treasure trove, housing the graves of some of Croatia’s most notable figures. Paths lined with horse chestnut trees add a poetic charm, making it a contemplative escape from the bustle of downtown Zagreb. Tip: Don't attempt to walk from the Old Town—it’s a pretty steep hike! Public transport, especially buses 106 or 226, make the trip much easier. Whether you're a history buff, an architecture lover, or just someone seeking quiet reflection, Mirogoj is a must-see.

Mirogoj Cemetery is a huge and beautiful place, even from the outside. The green domes and ivy-covered walls look amazing, despite repair barriers. It feels peaceful with lots of trees and history. You can’t enter the arcades due to earthquake damage, but it’s still worth seeing. A short bus ride from the city makes it easy to visit.

The Monumental Cemetery Mirogoj is a cemetery park that is considered to be among the more noteworthy landmarks in the City of Zagreb. It is a Member of ASCE and part of European Cemeteries Route. Mirogoj is considered a very significant cemetery for landscape, as an art gallery and as a book of Croatian history. An easy tram hop from the city centre, the beautiful tree-lined cemetery of Mirogoj is a rarely visited attraction. Founded in 1876 and designed by Hermann Bollé, few visitors reach Mirogoj, but those who do discover an expansive space filled with excellent sculptures and tiled arcades. The grounds of Mirogoj provide a peaceful retreat from the city center. The sheer size of the place means you rarely bump into another person; the only sounds you hear are bird song and the wind rustling the trees. Considered one of the best landmarks of the city and, some claim, one of the most magnificent cemeteries in Europe where over 300,000 souls are buried.

I walked here from the city centre. It is not as impressive as some Italian cemeteries (like Bologna or Verona) but still very nice. I was dissapointed that the arcades were not accessible due to constructions works (hapenning all over the city by that time).

Housed in a former monastery, the Zagreb City Museum offers a comprehensive look at the history of Croatia's capital. With exhibits spanning from ancient Roman times to the present day, the museum covers diverse themes such as politics, business, architecture, culture, and arts. Visitors can explore the lives of nuns in the 17th century Convent of the Poor Clares and stroll through a reconstruction of a bustling commercial street from the late 19th century.
I really enjoyed it. For only five euros it’s a must do. Some of the descriptions are not in English but I was still able to understand a large portion of the facts and I believe there was also some QR codes you could scan to read in English.

They’ve managed to capture over 900 years of Zagreb’s history in this impressive museum. At first, you might wonder if the €5 entry fee is worth it—but as you walk through the seemingly endless rooms, it quickly becomes clear that it’s more than worth the price. If you want to explore the exhibits in detail, plan to spend at least a few hours here. Be sure to bring a fully charged phone-having the Google Translate app handy is useful, as many of the exhibit descriptions are written in Croatian. We found the modern history section particularly interesting and less well-known. The museum is closed on Mondays.

The evolution of a city like Zagreb over more than few thousand years from Iron Age to the 20th century is not just about urban development but about the history of Croatia as a country too. Because the City Museum traces this development from Iron Age settlement to the 1990s there is something here to interest most adults with many entertaining exhibits, stories and photos. My personal favorites are the rooms about life in the 19th century with the rise of nationalism and expansion of Zagreb in to a modern metropolis. A great way to spend a few hours learning about your host nation and city on a rainy day!
Phil M — Google review
Tells the entire history of the region surrounding modern day Zagreb, from the iron age (includes an in-person excavation of the Late Bronze age/early iron age site in the NE of Zagreb) to the modern day, including Celtic, Medieval and later stages. Good collection of artifacts across the period. Will take about 1-2 hours to complete, and the price is extremely reasonable. One problem (and the reason for 3 stars) is that ~33% of the information boards were only in Croatian. Had to use ai to photo and translate, which isn't ideal.

Much of the text is in Croatian and what is available in English is quite dense. As a casual English speaking visitor I felt both alienated by many plaques not being translated but also not really engaged by rather dry explanations on the English panels. If you do speak Croatian and really like Croatian history, ready for a deep dive, you’ll enjoy it loads though. I didn’t, but for the small price I paid I can’t complain too much. They do have a lot a lot of exhibits. No air con though, which saddened me greatly

Housed in a grand 1800s building, Mimara Museum is the largest historical art collection in Zagreb. Donated by wealthy patron Ante Topic Mimara, it features European art and decorative objects spanning several centuries. The museum showcases paintings, statues, archaeological finds, oriental carpets, south-east Asian sculpture, Chinese porcelain, and more. The vast private collection includes works attributed to old masters like Raphael and Rembrandt as well as modern pieces by Manet and Renoir.

It's huge so I spent hours here - there were a couple of recitals, and although there's a cafe that serves delicious coffee, I went to the Arts and Crafts museum restaurant for lunch (another receptionist recommendation and it was excellent!). If you love art, then this is a brilliant place to hang out.

In 1972, Ante Topić Mimara, a businessman who was also a collector, painter and restorer, donated his extensive collections to the city of Zagreb, and the Mimara Museum was set up for their display. The museum is housed in an enormous NeoRenaissance building built in 1895 by the German architects Ludwig and Hülsner. The works are displayed chronologically from the prehistoric era to the present day. The archaeological section is particularly fascinating, with important finds from ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, PreColumbian America, as well as the Middle and Far East (Japan, Cambodia, Indonesia and India are represented). The icon collection not only contains Russian pieces, but also has icons from Palestine, Antioch and Asia Minor dating from the 6th to the 13th centuries. There are ancient Persian, Turkish and Moroccan carpets, and about 300 exhibits cover over 3,500 years of the development of Chinese art, from the Shang to the Qing dynasties. The 550 glassware exhibits come from Europe, as well as Persia, Turkey and Morocco. About 1,000 objects and pieces of furniture give a good overall picture of European craftsmanship from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. There is also a wide-ranging collection of 200 sculptures, which date from ancient Greece to the time of the Impressionists. They include works by the Italian sculptors Giambologna, the Della Robbias and Verrocchio, and the Frenchmen Jean-Antoine Houdon and Auguste Rodin. Italian painting is represented by, among others, Veronese, Paolo Veneziano, Pietro Lorenzetti, Raphael, Canaletto, Giorgione and Caravaggio. Dutch Baroque painting is represented by Rembrandt, Jacob Van Ruisdael and Jan Van Goyen. Flemish masters here include Rogier van der Weyden, Hieronymus Bosch, Van Dyck and Rubens. Diego Velázquez, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo and Francisco Goya represent the Spanish painters. The museum also has paintings by the English artists John Constable and JMW Turner and the French painters Edouard Manet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Camille Pissarro.
JUZER K — Google review
Nice museum, although I have expected more from the one of the main museums in the capital of a country, especially the fine arts section - aside from the very few works of the greatest names of art (3 or 4) , most of the paintings are made by so-called "schools" or followers (imitators) of these great artists. The permanent exhibition mostly consists of baroque, gothic, a little bit of renaissance and (to my disappointment) a very few works of impressionism. The display is a bit stretched out just to fill out the grand space.

Opened in 1898, this is one of the oldest art pavilions in Southeastern Europe. It was originally constructed as an iron-framed structure designed by Flóris Korb and Kálmán Giergl for the 1896 Millennium Exhibition in Budapest. After the exhibition, the structure was transported to Zagreb and redesigned into its current form by renowned architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer. The exterior of the building features busts of prominent painters. Instead of a permanent collection, the pavilion hosts rotating exhibitions covering a wide range of themes and periods. The museum is currently temporarily closed, and the reopening date will be announced through its official channels.

Very nice and charming looking building which just got renovated from the exterior and is still being renovated on the interior as a result of the earthquake that happened 5 years ago. The historic lamps on the entrance look amazing, but they should use LED bulbs instead of regular ones so that less energy is consumed and less Co2 is emitted into the atmosphere.

Arheološki muzej u Zagrebu is a must-visit attraction in Zagreb, featuring an impressive collection of pre-historic, Egyptian, and Roman exhibits. The museum houses rare coins, Egyptian mummies, and Roman monuments in its courtyard. Visitors can explore artifacts from the Stone Age as well as a variety of objects including flasks, containers, statues, helmets, swords, steles and more.
Review of the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb The Archaeological Museum in Zagreb is a true hidden gem and an absolute delight for history lovers. It boasts an impressive and well-curated collection of artifacts ranging from Ancient Egypt to Classical Greece, the Roman era, and beyond. The Greek section, in particular, stands out as one of the highlights of the museum. The collection includes beautifully crafted pottery, intricate jewelry, sculptural fragments, and votive offerings that reflect the sophistication and artistry of ancient Greek civilization. The explanatory texts are informative without being overwhelming, and the layout allows visitors to follow the development of Greek art and culture through the centuries. It was genuinely a surprise to see such a rich and well-preserved display of Hellenic history in Zagreb. The Egyptian artifacts are also fascinating, with mummies, sarcophagi, and daily life items that offer a glimpse into the spiritual and material world of ancient Egypt. The Roman section is equally strong, including statues, inscriptions, and everyday objects that speak to the daily lives and beliefs of Roman citizens. The museum building itself is elegant and atmospheric, enhancing the whole experience. The exhibits are thoughtfully arranged, and the transitions between historical periods feel natural and coherent. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to assist. Overall, I highly recommend the Archaeological Museum of Zagreb to anyone visiting the city. Whether you’re deeply interested in ancient history or just want a meaningful cultural experience, this museum is definitely worth your time.

The Archaeological Museum in Zagreb is a very well-curated and interesting museum that offers a deep dive into Croatia's rich history. It's an absolute must-see for anyone interested in the ancient past, from prehistoric times through the Roman era and beyond. The collection of artifacts is impressive and diverse, and the exhibits are thoughtfully organized, making it easy to follow the historical narrative. While the museum is excellent, it could benefit from more interactive elements or a bit more modern presentation in some areas to fully engage a wider audience. However, the quality of the artifacts and the overall historical value more than make up for it.

Far less impressive than other European archeological museums go. The extremely detailed info plaques are a huge plus (all with English translations!) but you won't find anything you can't find in other, larger museums.

It is well worth visiting the Archaeological museum. There is a fascinating archaeological history of the area which helped us understand how Croatia developed. But for me the best was on the top floor - the book of the dead, as it’s a unique linguistic document which helps understand the history of writing. Also well worth seeing is the collection of Roman helmets - we had never seen anything like that before.

The Nikola Tesla Technical Museum, established in 1954 and renamed after the renowned inventor in 2015, is a science museum located in Zagreb, Croatia. It features historic equipment and an interactive exhibit dedicated to Nikola Tesla, who was actually born in Croatia before making significant contributions to science and technology in the United States. The museum showcases a wide array of scientific and technical devices throughout history with a focus on aircraft, cars, machinery, and equipment.

Even compared to the Deutsche Technical Museum in Germany, this smaller technical museum has much going for it.

Not only Croatian. It has a big sized coal mine in the basement!!!!! Wonderful. Wonderous.

A great modern museum that covers a huge variety of technological pioneering and engineering advances of the past 3 centuries in Europe. From firefighting developments, to water turbines, to airplane engines and geology drilling systems. Of course, there is a special place for Nicola Tesla with interesting stories behind his several achievements, in one of the major corners of the first floor. Second floor balances between agricultural tooling, retro mechanical devices in telecommunication & writing and space rocketry breakthroughs. 5/5

If you are a NT geek like me, you will love the gallery for Nicola Tesla's inventions. Note: although the building is named for him, only 1 gallery is about him. The rest are about technical inventions. I cannot say enough about the presentor who gave the NT presentation. He was fantastic. Watch the time for the language you want! The staff all know English and were incredibly helpful. The gift store is really, really limited in options. Look for more, and better, NT items in the tourist stores near the city center or by the cathedral. That said, we bought a cool T-shirt & tote bag here.

Tours are available three times a day on working days for visitors to explore the 200-seat reading room and other smaller rooms with beautiful wooden tables and Tiffany lamps.
The building of the Croatian State Archives, constructed in 1913 according to the designs of the architect Rudolf Lubynski, is one of the most beautiful examples of Secessionist architecture in Croatia. Its exceptional beauty and elegance make it not only a significant cultural monument but also a favorite destination for architecture and history enthusiasts. This impressive structure, adorned with rich decoration, including stained glass windows and ornamentation, bears witness to the Secession period and is an invaluable part of Croatia's cultural heritage. Over the decades, it has served as the guardian of historical documents and valuable archival materials, preserving the rich history and identity of the country.

This institution is responsible for the systematic collection, preservation, and management of documents and records of national importance. Its origins date back to 1643, when the Croatian Parliament instructed royal treasurer Ivan Zakmardi to gather all laws, charters, and important documents and store them in a special chest for safekeeping—marking the beginning of organized archival efforts in Croatia. The current building was completed in 1913 and is considered one of the finest examples of Art Nouveau architecture in the country. It was designed by Rudolf Lubynski and originally served as the National and University Library before being repurposed as the Croatian State Archives.

Beautiful building inside and out. The stained glass inside is beautiful as well as all the other details I highly recommend asking for a tour at 11 am or 1pm. I was escorted around the building and explained all the details, history and relevant info. I think they just pick guides based on language so your guide amazing or just okay.

This building is quite stunning, inside and out. They offer two time slots during the week for guided tours. You should book in advance by email or phone. The tour guide is super knowledgable. She accommodated us with an English tour and was kind to answer all of our questions. The tour took about 30 minutes. The regular price was €2.65 per person. I would highly recommend for anyone. Note: We were requested not to publish photos.

Beautiful old world preserved interiors. Worth seeing it even if just for the aesthetic alone. Good place to visit a beautiful old style bathroom. The archive itself is like a scene from am alternate reality, reminiscent of old Yugoslavia. The archive is a great place to conduct geneologocal or historical research. Be warned though you have to become a member of the archive and first go to the office and fill a form and then go to another area in the building to pay the symbolic dues. Small price to pay to access the materijal, and definitely a colorful and odd experience. All geneological data is acceptable on microfilm, non is digitized sadly.

Park
Zrinjevac is a picturesque tree-lined park located in the city center, offering a serene escape with its towering trees, charming gazebos, and delightful fountains. The park features colorful flower arrangements and hosts various events throughout the year, including concerts in the elevated orchestra pavilion. Visitors can enjoy leisurely strolls, find peaceful spots to read or simply take in the tranquil ambiance. Zrinjevac is particularly enchanting during summer events and the festive Christmas market during winter.
Beautiful park located in the center of Zagreb. It stretches across several streets. A lot of interesting plants, well-kept grass. In addition, the buildings make a big impression. It is worth walking through this park and admiring its beauty. I recommend it!

As part of the Lenuci’s Horseshoe, this park is officially named Trg Nikole Šubića Zrinskog (Nikola Šubić Zrinski Square). Established in 1892, the area was originally used for agriculture and livestock markets but was transformed into a public park as part of an urban beautification project. The park features a music pavilion, a meteorological column, fountains, and busts of notable historical figures. During Advent in Zagreb, the park is beautifully decorated with lights and festive ornaments, becoming a lively venue for concerts, performances, and holiday markets.

This park is gorgeous! It's like a live action painting. Beautiful fountains, people picnicking on the grass, couples strolling under the white trees, elderly woman sitting on the bench, kids skipping about, colorful flower gardens, lovers taking pictures in the gazebo, and me...with my jaw dropped like an idiot. Wonderful place to see.

Zagreb’s city center has truly transformed into a lovely place to stroll and unwind, with beautifully renovated buildings and monuments all around. One of the highlights is the spacious and peaceful Zrinjevac Park—definitely one of the most relaxing spots in town. I wish I had taken more photos, especially of the magnificent old trees that give the park its charm. Zrinjevac, officially known as Nikola Šubić Zrinski Square, was established in the late 19th century as part of Zagreb’s famous Green Horseshoe—a series of interconnected parks and squares. It has since remained a beloved gathering place for locals and visitors alike. Well worth a visit.

Nestled in the heart of New Zagreb, Zagrepcanka is a striking 23-storey high-rise that has become an iconic part of the city's skyline. Designed by architects Slavko Jelinek and Berislav Vinkovic, this building initially faced its share of challenges, including issues with falling tiles that led to some humorous anecdotes among locals. However, over time, it has proven to be a resilient architectural marvel.

The Museum of Illusions is an engaging attraction that offers a blend of optical illusion exhibits and a 'smart playroom' filled with games and puzzles. Visitors can expect to embark on an intriguing visual, sensory, and educational journey suitable for all ages. The museum's interactive displays provide insight into the mind, perception, human brain, and science while challenging visitors to comprehend why the eyes perceive things differently than the brain comprehends.
Feeling sick after the first interactive illusion….. absolutely brilliant though and well worth spending a couple of hours visiting. Easy to find and very interesting. Lots to keep all ages interested and very enjoyable.

Hidden in an alleyway with a dark entrance, it was difficult for my mum (a senior) to climb up the stairs due to the low visibility. This museum is quite quaint and small, and staff are friendly. However I probably wouldn't visit again given we saw the entire museum and interacted with the exhibits in under an hour.
G Z — Google review
Very nice and friendly staff today. The museum itself which was 12euro per person was too limited in comparison with other museum of illusions or teamlabs, therefore I think a ticket of 5 euro would have been a better and suitable price for what you get. Many stuff are also worn out or dirty looking . I’m sure in time they can get better and expand maybe to a better location with more room and maybe a renovation. Thanks

It was good. We went there with small kids (4-6 years old).. That was not a good idea. The museum was interesting, but my kids were misbehaving, so I couldn’t even read the instructions. Parking was difficult. We are from Hungary, and we had to find an application download on the phone, then register with bankcard then deposit,then pay 1 hour. Since we left early we didn’t need more. The cash part of the parking automat wasn’t working. 1€ deposit and 1,6€/hour for parking. You can’t buy more than 2 hours because 1st zone. But I think you don’t need more. The receptionist lady was kind in the museum. Museum is 12€/ person for adults. Kids were free. So all in all it’s good but not with small kids, and parking was difficult.

Interesting exhibits and fun illusions, but the space is quite small and it was very crowded during our visit. The staff was attentive and quick to clean and maintain everything. However, the €12 entrance fee feels overpriced — a fair price would be around €5–7. Overall, worth a quick visit, but manage your expectations.

It's a fun place to visit (especially with kids) when you have some time to spare. They have a small shop where you can buy a few brain teasers and some puzzles. You can also play a few games to tingle your thinking ;) It is however overpriced. 12€ is too much for what you get.

The Funicular in Downtown Zagreb is the shortest funicular ride in the world, covering a distance of 66 meters in just 64 seconds. It has been deemed the safest public transportation system globally, with no reported passenger injuries since its establishment in 1890. Connecting Tomiceva street in Downtown with Lotrscak tower in Upper Town, it holds the title of being Zagreb's oldest public transportation system.
Nice tiny lift, only 0.32 euros per person (the accept credit card if you don't have cash). Kids are free. Must visit and only takes few secs to get to the other side!

This ride takes about 30 seconds and costs 66p per person. Surely it is possible to take the stairs and go up but why not for only this price.

It costs only 5kn although it's really short ride. It's fun ride but once is enough I guess. Only 1 minute ride or so, don't miss the view from the cable car and enjoy it. Once you get the top, you will see the beautiful view of the city of Zagreb.
Anna — Google review
Smallest funicular in the world, according to Atlas Obscura. It's worth a look and costs €0.60 each way. It takes about 40 seconds to descend. There are steps, too.
James C — Google review
Basically, nothing special. Just your normal funicular. But there's always this unique trivia from locals about 66: 0.66€ ticket price, 66 meters high, 66 seconds to go from bottom to top. And so, we did it. We only used it for one way but I can't say if it was an enjoyable ride or not because it's very short! However, maybe I can give you some tips to ride this: 1) if you want to take a video of the rail, make sure to be the very first one to enter the carriage so you can choose your seats. To do this, just check the queue and the carriage WITHOUT buying the tickets because the officer will ask you to get in although you want to go for the next one. 2) Prepare some cash, the exact amount if possible. Sometimes the EDC machine has a problem and the officer doesn't really like to give you some change. 3) Don't force yourself to get in, the seats are limited and for the last people to get in, you usually have to stand up. 4) and of course, you barely see anything when you ride it on a cloudy day. Overall, if you're only curious about this, I suggest you ride it to go up because the view is better and it saves your energy. It can also be the best transportation mode to choose if you'd like to see the canon, because the final stop is very close to the canon!

Museums
Nestled in the heart of Zagreb, the Museum of Arts and Crafts is a treasure trove for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Established in 1880, this remarkable institution resides within a stunning Renaissance-style building that dates back to 1888. It boasts an impressive collection of over 160,000 items that span from the 14th century to contemporary times.
Founded in 1880, this is one of the oldest museums of applied arts in Europe. It focuses on showcasing the history of art, craftsmanship, and design, with a rich collection spanning from the Middle Ages to the present day. The museum displays furniture, clocks, jewelry, costumes, ceramics, glassware, and musical instruments, offering a unique blend of Croatian artisanal tradition and the broader context of European art history. The building itself, constructed in the late 19th century in the Historicist style, is of significant architectural value.

I only saw it externally but it looks like a very nice building. Btw, I don't know why, but I noticed that in Zagreb there are many yellow colored buildings, in particular also monuments and buildings that are important for the city and for the country itself. Maybe that's a colour with a particular meaning for Croatians?

It's like visiting an antique shop - here's why: Nice and varied objects collection BUT, that's all. The descriptive labels are only in Croatian and you have to get a separate card with the descriptions in English in every room. These labels say practically nothing, basically only stating the name of the object (ex: wooden table, mechanical clock - 18th century etc.). Nothing is related to the people, the place the item was found in or anything else. As I said, it's like visiting an antique shop. Nothing more.

Today the Museum has at its disposal holdings containing about one hundred thousand items of the fine and applied arts, drawn from the period from the 14thto the 21st century, organised into a number of collections: furniture, glass, metal, ceramics, sculpture, painting, graphic art, clocks and watches, graphic and product design, architecture, photography (one of the oldest such collections in the world) and photographic equipment, fabric and fashion, musical instruments, painted leather, ivory, printing and bookbinding. Since some of these collections number several thousand or indeed several tens of thousands of objects, it would be quite reasonable to say that they in fact comprise individual museums within the Museum, the more so that some of the collections are unique in Croatia. Ticket prices: adults – 40 kn pupils, students, pensioner – 20 kn group visits, price per person – 30 kn groups of pupils, students and pensioners, price per person – 15 kn family ticket – 70 kn

Nice looking museum with a lot of modern creations being displayed. The architecture is very impressive as it matches the 21st century very well. Staff is very friendly and helpful and it's easy to get here. Even though everything is in good condition and maintained, the square on the right should be better maintained. There's garbage on the floor and weeds are growing everywhere which makes the area look nasty. Another thing that could be improved is that a green roof(with automated watering) can be added on the top of the museum building which would reduce cooling costs, improve both storm water flow and air quality.

This museum gave me the opportunity to learn about the history and culture of Eastern Europe, and of course, especially the Croatian and Serbian regions. As we re-embrace civilisation after the collapse of the Soviet Union, we can't help but need to think about what true freedom and democracy are. Of course, the respectful activities exhibited in the museum about the treatment of the mentally ill were also impressive, we all need a world of love and peace and an end to violence and war!

Tom F — Google review
Medvedgrad was the first castle ruin I’ve ever visited, and it left a good impression. While it’s not a huge complex, the views, atmosphere, and history make it worth the trip — and entry is only 8 euros, which is very fair. 🏰 The Fortress: It’s a small, well-preserved medieval structure with scenic views over the city and forest. There’s a chapel, outer walls, towers, and a few indoor areas. We explored it in about 1 hour and 30 minutes at a slow and calm pace. 📍 Accessibility: There’s no public transportation directly to Medvedgrad. The nearest bus stop is about 2 km downhill, and the walk back up would have been too much for my friend, who has foot problems. That’s why we chose a taxi, which was absolutely the right call. I wish there were a shuttle or dedicated access — but considering the narrow road, I understand why buses don’t go all the way. 🚕 Taxi story: We arranged for the driver to return after our visit. He came back as promised and even helped us figure out why we couldn’t access the Police Museum (reservation required), then took us to our next stops (zoo/intercity). He was very kind, and we gave him 50 euros total as a thank-you — he deserved it. 👥 Crowds: We arrived at opening time and had the place almost to ourselves. Only when we were leaving did a group of school kids show up. It was very quiet and peaceful — perfect for photography and relaxing exploration. 📷 Overall experience: Very calm and not too touristy Beautiful nature surrounding the castle Worth a visit if you want something scenic and not overwhelming Took about 1.5 hours to enjoy everything Very fair price at only 8€ ✅ Final verdict: If you're in Zagreb and want a small, historical site with great views and peaceful surroundings, Medvedgrad is a great choice — just be sure to arrange transport in advance if you don’t want a steep uphill walk.

The castle is situated on a hill, from which you can see Zagreb in all its glory. The road to the castle is crete and mountainous. It runs through a dense forest. When you get there, you can visit the ruins of the castle. Some rooms have been preserved. The best thing about this place is the views. This is a great vantage point where you can take a break from the city and relax watching the landscape. Additionally, it is worth taking a walk along the forest roads, because there are interesting mountain trails leading there. I highly recommend it!

Nestled in the heart of Zagreb, the Croatian History Museum offers a captivating journey through the rich tapestry of Croatia's past. Originally part of the National Museum, this institution gained prominence during the Homeland War in the 1990s and has since been dedicated to preserving and showcasing national heritage. Although currently housed in a historical palace that once belonged to noble families, recent seismic activity has raised safety concerns for its building. Fortunately, all artifacts remain intact as plans are underway for their safe relocation.
I really enjoyed this museum. The museum is small and as such all exhibitions are only temporary but this means that you can see different things each time. The current 1918 exhibition gives great insight to the Croatian aspects of WW1

Been here last weekend. I generally liked the museum, it's a limited number of items on display, that can't be helped. They had a temporary exhibition on the Roman settlement of Bribir and some permanent exhibition on the general Croatian history. At times the English text didn't make sense and was hard to follow. However, the WORST thing was that the staff at the museum entrance on the second floor just KEPT TALKING LOUDLY for the hour I was in. Stupid.

They had an excellent exhibit (I spent 2 hours there) but a fooolish rule against taking photos. They complain in print that they don't have enough funding, but then they won't let people take photos and share this. Misguided! Sharing photos would make the museum more popular. Also, all over the world, almost all history museums allow--even encourage--taking photos. There is no good reason for this museum to be different. In addition, they were rude and inconsistent in explaining the "no photo" rule. They said "you can take some but not too many", then they said "no photos". Then they just made up a number "you can take five". After this, the staff went around with their own friends and took lots of photos: not for work, just for fun. So, despite a really good exhibit, it was not a good experience.

The museum has been housed here since 1959, but it only became the Croatian History Museum in 1991 when several collections and two museums were merged. The museum illustrates the history of Croatia from the Middle Ages to the present day by means of all kinds of mementoes. These include documents and paintings of political, military and cultural events, as well as items such as firearms, flags and medals. The exhibitions are not permanent but change frequently due to limited space.The museum is housed in the Baroque Vojković-Oršić-Rauch Palace, which dates from the second half of the 18th century.

A bit confusing at first as the first floor is more of a dodgy gallery showing some local artist's paintings of animals and we thought that was it. But no you can go upstairs, there's a few more floors with fossils, skeletons, stuffed animals, geological displays. Quite interesting and killed a couple of hours but very little display explanation in English.

An amazing venue for concerts! Atmosphere is always outstanding with electrified crowd. Bars, food stands and toilets are outside of main concerts space but nevertheless very close. There is also place where you can leave your jackets. Please have in mind to come early for parking space which fills very fast. There are bars and restaurans near by so you can take a drink before going to the concert. Also, Arena shopping mall is near were you can spend some time before the event.

The Church of St. Mark in Zagreb is easily recognizable by its distinctive red, white, and blue-tiled roof adorned with the coat of arms of Zagreb and Croatia. As one of the oldest buildings in the city, it offers a cozy and tranquil atmosphere for visitors attending Mass. Dedicated to St. Marko Krizevcanin, the church provides a beautiful setting for spiritual reflection away from the bustling city life.

(Translated by Google) I went to Sunday Mass at 10am. Nice church, cozy atmosphere and calm people, excellent for families. The Mass was well prepared, with the right times and songs that truly inspire the soul. The priest was good and friendly, even though I didn't understand anything because I don't speak Croatian. (Original) Sono andato alla Messa domenicale delle 10. Chiesa carina, ambiente raccolto e persone tranquille, ottimo per le famiglie. La Messa era curata bene, con i giusti tempi e canti che realmente ispirano l'anima. Bravo e simpatico il sacerdote, anche se non ho capito niente perché non parlo il croato.

Ban Josip Jelačić Statue, located in the main square of Zagreb, is a popular meeting spot and a must-visit attraction. The pedestrian-friendly square and its surrounding streets are car-free, making it an inviting place to explore day or night. This lively hub offers a vibrant atmosphere with frequent concerts and events that capture the city's essence. It serves as a transport hub with tram stops and is surrounded by shops, restaurants, and cafes.
Zagreb's classic place to meet friends. It's relaxed on spite of hundreds of locals and tourists passing by every day. The coffee shops are testimony that coffeehouse culture is still alive and well. Hang out for an espresso with old or new acquaintances. A place to see and be seen. And at 12 noon, church bells fill the square.

The Ban Josip Jelačić Statue stands as a commanding presence in the heart of Zagreb, at the square that also bears the name of this historic Croatian governor. Erected in 1866 and crafted by Austrian sculptor Anton Dominik Fernkorn, this prominent equestrian statue has become an emblematic symbol of the city and a popular meeting point for locals and tourists alike. The statue captures the governor in a moment of resolve, as he brandishes his sword, pointing towards the south, symbolizing the defense of his country and his efforts against the Hungarian forces. It is a significant historical reminder of the period leading to Croatian national awakening and the struggle for autonomy within the Habsburg Monarchy. Surrounding the statue, Ban Jelačić Square bustles with activity, thriving as the central hub of Zagreb's social life. It's where trams crisscross, people flock to cafes, and street performers entertain passersby. The statue has not just remained a static monument; it has witnessed political rallies, cultural gatherings, and many historical events, reflecting the pulse and changes of Croatian society through time. It is not merely a tribute to a historical figure, but a living piece of Zagreb's public space and history. It feels great to be here, at the Ban Jelacic Square. However it is crowded with locals and visitors, since it was a weekend Saturday in the month of May.

Equestrian monument to Count Josip Jelacic von Buzim (1801-1859) in Zagreb, Croatia 🇭🇷 it is located at Ban Jelačić Square the central square of the city. A.k.A. Harmica (until 1848) or Republic Square (1946–1990) I loved walking around Zagreb and looking at all of old buildings and interesting statues. The square is located below Zagreb's old city cores Gradec and Kaptol, just directly south of the Dolac Market on the intersection of Ilica from the west. It is the center of the Zagreb Downtown pedestrian zone. The square has been the scene of important events in modern Croatian history . On 16 October 1895, a Hungarian flag was burned there during a protest against Ban Khuen-Héderváry . On 5 December 1918 , supporters of the People's Council of the Croatian Socialist Republic opened fire on Zagreb residents protesting for the establishment of a Croatian republic, and the fifteen people killed were called the December Victims. In the center is a statue of Ban Josip Jelačić by sculptor Dominik Fernkorn , now facing south. When the statue was first placed on the square in 1866 , it faced north, since at that time the southern part of the city did not yet exist, but was still arable land and small rural dwellings. The statue faced the city center, St. Mark's Square. The popular myth that the Ban is facing Hungary is incorrect, although it is based on real historical facts. In 1947, the communist regime removed the statue, and in 1990 the statue was ceremonially returned to the square. Count Josip Jelačić von Bužim was a Croatian lieutenant field marshal in the Imperial Austrian Army and politician. He was the Ban of Croatia between 23 March 1848 and 19 April 1859. He was a member of the House of Jelačić and a noted army general, remembered for his military campaigns during the Revolutions of 1848 and for his abolition of serfdom in Croatia. Jelačić died on 20 May 1859 in Zagreb, after an illness. He is buried in Zaprešić, in a grave near his castle. an important and admirable figure in Croatian history, alongside Ante Starčević, and Stjepan Radić, the Croatian political leader until 1928. The patriotic song "Ustani bane" (Rise, Ban) was written to glorify Jelačić. In Hungary, he is a very unpopular historical figure. He is often referred to as "Jelasics the coward," who "runs back to Vienna with his army beaten", quote from Sándor Petőfi's poem A vén zászlótartó.

This monument to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, the most famous Marian statue in Zagreb, is known in Croatian as a sculpture of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was installed in 1873, and was created by Anton Dominik Fernkorn. At the top of the central column stands a gilded statue of the Virgin Mary, while at the base of the column are four golden angel statues symbolizing Faith, Hope, Purity, and Humility. On clear days, the golden figures shimmer beautifully in the sunlight.

Beautiful column, not amazing but still worth your time (and your photos). It is situated right in front of Zagreb Cathedral, at the center of the square so it will be difficult to miss it and almost certain you'll pass by it. The column is at the center of a fountain with 4 golden statues which are actually quite impressive when there is sun is shining (just look at the attached pictures). So try to time your visit according to the weather if you can.

The cool looking Marian Column (or Column of the Virgin Mary) located on Kaptol Square in front of the Zagreb Cathedral in Zagreb, Croatia. The central figure is a golden statue of the Virgin Mary, surrounded at the base by four golden angels. The column and fountain were erected in the 19th century and are a notable landmark and popular meeting point in the city. The monument reflects Zagreb’s Catholic heritage and is often photographed by visitors to the Cathedral.

The Monument of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Zagreb is a dignified tribute to a significant religious and cultural event. While it is a relatively simple monument, it holds historical and spiritual importance for many. Historical Background The Monument commemorates the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a key event in Christian tradition. This event, celebrated on August 15th, marks the belief that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was taken into heaven body and soul at the end of her earthly life. The historical evolution of this celebration is deep-rooted, with the first concrete evidence of the Marian celebration dating back to the mid-fifth century in Jerusalem . This day was initially recognized as “Day of Mary Mother of God,” which later evolved into the celebration of the dormition (falling asleep) and assumption of Mary. Inclusion in a Zagreb Itinerary As part of a cultural and historical exploration of Zagreb, the Monument of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary can be included in a broader itinerary. Visitors can start their day at the Zagreb Cathedral, then walk through the historic streets to the St. Mark’s Church, and from there, visit this monument. Its simplicity and the profound meaning behind it offer a moment of reflection amidst the bustling city life. Overall Impression The Monument of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is not just an ordinary landmark; it represents a deeply significant religious event. It serves as a reminder of Zagreb’s rich cultural and religious heritage. While it may not have the grandeur of other monuments, its simplicity and the profound story it symbolizes make it a meaningful stop in the exploration of Zagreb.⬤

Beautiful gold plated rendition of the Virgin Mary, giving meta and peace to the cathedral - I assumed the four angels below here would be the expected arch-angels, but they are actually nameless and meant to represent various positive traits. I guess what she brings to the table : faith, hope, humility and innocence. It’s a lovely place to sit and gather your thoughts, especially as the cathedral is currently closed due to renovations. Surprisingly empty space too, considering how busy it is only a kilometre away in the heart of town.

I had the privilege of visiting the Muzejsko Memorijalni Centar Dražen Petrović, and it was an incredibly moving experience.

The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, providing a deep insight into his remarkable journey and achievements. The museum's layout is engaging, allowing visitors to follow Dražen's inspiring story chronologically. The displays are both informative and visually appealing, featuring personal memorabilia, photographs, and multimedia presentations that bring his career to life. The attention to detail is evident, making the museum a fitting tribute to a sports icon. The staff members were knowledgeable, passionate, and eager to share their insights, enhancing the overall experience.

I'd actually never heard of this sporting hero previously until I visited the Mirogoj Cemetery where he's buried and memorialised. This little museum is very good if you want to know about his sporting career. Along with background photos in each display cabinet there are all sorts of memorabilia; medals, Trophies, Identification cards, Sportswear etc. Each item displayed is numbered and described in English & Croatian on the front of the glass cabinet. It's worthwhile looking at the touchscreen information display on the right as you enter. You can select from several languages, including english, to obtain some insight into what the museum is all about.

Such a special place. It was the first museum we took our son to, he was 6 months old at the time and didn't get anything and we were showing him everything like some weirdos, but for us it makes sense. :) We also met Drazens' mom there, by chance. A really nice guy was working that day, he looked very young, but he was a walking encyclopedia of facts about Drazen (and we really know a lot, but he was the absolute master) and not in a pretentious 'know it all' way ..but he spoke with such warmth. I remember thinking that you really feel the love that they all have and share working there. There are so many personal items of Drazen, some that made me cry. If you are a fan, you'll understand when you go there. Also, you can by books and memorabilia of Drazen as well. Go! Absolute must.

It was the first time we were not allowed inside a mosque. After a long journey, we ate and wanted to pray at the mosque right next to us. However, I was not allowed in because I wasn’t wearing socks, and my daughter was not allowed in because she wasn’t wearing a skirt. We tried to make ablution, but I guess we couldn’t explain ourselves there either. Even though the mosque looked very beautiful as a building, I cannot call a place a mosque if I cannot pray inside it. Since we already had our prayer mats, we could pray anywhere outside, but it was truly a very bitter memory. For my daughter and me, it did not remain as a mosque, but perhaps only as a beautiful building.

Historical landmark
Kallina House, also known as Kuca Kallina, is a hidden gem in Lower Town Zagreb. This Secessionist-style building is often overlooked compared to other landmarks in the area. Covered in lavish ceramic tiles, it's an exquisite example of art nouveau architecture and served as a residential building for Josip Kallina, a wealthy industrialist with a ceramics factory. The intricate ornaments on the facade include a surprising detail - a line of bats around the first-floor windows.
Very beautiful building which makes you feel like you're in Barcelona instead of Zagreb. The tiles look charming. Windows are in the shape of a letter 'T' which was prevalent in the Art Nouveau period and in the 19th/early 20th century. Everything is well-maintained and it should not just be like that for this building, but for all buildings in the city and country.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful buildings in Zagreb is located at the intersection of Masarykova and Gundulićeva streets. The Kalina house was built in 1903-1904. as a residential building for a rich industrialist, the owner of a ceramics factory, Josip Kallina. The architect is Vjekoslav Bastl, who built the house on the model of Otto Wagner's Majolikahaus in Vienna. The Kalina House is considered one of the most important achievements of Art Nouveau architecture in Central Europe. Unfortunately, the interior of the house is not open to the public because it contains private apartments. (Original) Jedna od najljepših građevina u Zagrebu smještena je na križanju Masarykove i Gundulićeve ulice. Kuća Kalina je građena od 1903.-1904. kao stambena zgrada za bogatog industrijalca, vlasnika tvornice keramike, Josipa Kallinu. Arhitekt je Vjekoslav Bastl koji je kuću gradio po uzoru na Majolikahaus Otta Wagnera u Beču. Kuća Kalina se smatra jednim od najvažnijih ostvarenja secesijske arhitekture u srednjoj Europi. Na žalost, unutrašnjost kuće nije otvorena za javnost jer se u njoj nalaze privatni stanovi.

(Translated by Google) After renovation, one of the most beautiful buildings in Zagreb. It's a pity that Gundulićeva Street is one of the busiest streets in the city. (Original) Nakon obnove, jedna od naljepših zgrada u Zagrebu. Šteta što je Gundulićeva ulica jedna od najprometnijih ulica u gradu.

City Hall
The City Assembly of the City of Zagreb is a stunning historic structure that serves as a cultural hub, featuring two magnificent wedding rooms, a theater, and an art gallery. This venue holds significant historical importance as it was once the site for Croatian parliamentary sessions and where the Croatian language was first adopted officially in parliament. The building boasts impressive architectural details such as statues, pediments, and plaques that enhance its charm. Inside, visitors can admire elegant wooden furniture amidst a rich historical ambiance.
A lovely place

I was curious about the plaque of Nikola Tesla and take some pictures of the place.

"Zagreb: a city under construction" Almost half of the city attractions are temporarily closed due to renovation works at the same time. St. Mark's Cathedral is closed seemingly for the security of the prime ministers office.
Alex S — Google review
Very nice looking building with statues, pediments and plaques. It also has a historic interior with wooden furniture. Although I like it, it can be seen that the paint on the facade is coming off which looks ugly and the building could be more energy-efficient.

Historic building housing two grand wedding rooms, theater, art gallery. The theater used to be for the Croatian parliamentary session, it is said that in this building the Croatian language was first used as the official language in the parliament. Civil weddings are held inside this building

Fortress
The remaining remnants of the city wall, known as Kaptolska utvrda, were initially constructed to safeguard both the city and its church against potential Turkish invasions. These fortification remains served as a defensive barrier, protecting the city from external threats. They stand testament to a bygone era when it was crucial to defend against potential aggressors. The remains of this fortress wall represent an important historical site that highlights the strategic significance of fortifications in preserving cities and their cultural heritage.
(Translated by Google) Kaptol Fortress was built to resist the Ottoman invasion. (Original) 오스만의 침략에 맞서 제조했다는 카프톨 요새입니다.
노지명 — Google review
Part of the old fortess walls that surround the Zagreb Cathedral - currently closed off due to all the renovations, but stand tall and rather in good shape. They round around the majority of the cathedral.
Mat B — Google review
It is said that the Kaptol Walls and the Fortress were built to resist Ottoman attacks and turned Zagreb into an impregnable bastion. In Kaptol Street stands the north-eastern tower, which dates back to the 15th century, while the north-western tower, called Prišlin Tower, is a construction from the end of the 17th century. The houses mostly date back to the 18th century: the most beautiful is from 1710; the oldest, from 1498, is the Lektorova kurija.

Amazing fortress in the heart of town which dates from hundreds of years ago and it has great aesthetics. 4 stars since it’s damaged with graffiti :(, it’s a shame.

(Translated by Google) Part of the Kaptol Fortress in Zagreb, which surrounded the Cathedral and protected it from raids. Currently, the entire area around the Cathedral is fenced off because reconstruction is underway. (Original) Част от Каптолската крепост в Загреб, която е обграждала Катедралата и я е предпазвала от набези. В момента целият район около Катедралата е заграден, защото се извършва реконструкция.

Historical landmark
Dverce Palace, a stunning gem nestled in the heart of Zagreb, is a must-visit for anyone exploring this vibrant city. This elegant structure boasts an impressive history and serves as a diplomatic protocol venue, showcasing its beautifully preserved interiors. Often compared to a mini Versailles, Dverce Palace features exquisite rooms adorned with Art Deco furniture that transport visitors back in time. While typically closed to the public, special events offer rare glimpses into its grandeur.
Old noble house, donated to the town by the last owner and normally closed to public, exception being chosen events. The primary purpose is diplomatic protocol venue, due to its beautiful, old and preserved interior.
Antonija J — Google review
Very pretty palace which historic furniture and beautiful frescos inside. From the outside it has charming pediments above the windows and rectangular ornaments on the bottom facade. Since it’s a very old building, it probably got damaged in the earthquake in 2020, but anyways it needs to be renovated and made very energy efficient. Also, paint peeling is visible on the exterior and the roof looks old.

It's an ok library.
Stjepan M — Google review
(Translated by Google) The library is large and spacious. There are always interesting workshops for all ages as well as exhibitions. I love this library because it exudes a certain warmth. I have known the ladies who work in the library since I was in elementary school. It is a blessing to have a library in your neighborhood. (Original) Knjižnica je velika i prostrana. Ima uvijek interesantnih radionica za sve uzraste kao i izložbe. Volim ovu knjižnicu jer odiše nekom toplinom. Gospođe koje rade u knjižnici poznajem od kada sam išla u osnovu školu. Bogatstvo je imati knjižnicu u svom kvartu.
Ivana Z — Google review
(Translated by Google) It is good that the library exists. It is imposed by books. The complaint is that the reading tables are too close to the bookshelves, you can't browse while someone is sitting. A better arrangement of the shelves is needed. (Original) Dobro je da knjižnica postoji. Nametana je knjigama. Zamjerka su stolovi za čitanje preblizu polica za knjige, ne možeš pregledavati dok netko sjedi. Potreban je bolji raspored polica.

Was in the wrong place (Original) Predobra, super opus, našla sam čak knjigu koja je za mene izgubljena već 40 god,, ljubazno osoblje👌👌..
