Stop 1

Begin your journey in the Upper Town (Gornji Grad), the medieval heart of Zagreb. Wander through cobblestone streets lined with colorful baroque buildings and uncover centuries-old landmarks such as the Zagreb Cathedral, Stone Gate, and St. Mark’s Church with its iconic tiled roof.

Learn about the city’s origins, legends, and local traditions while admiring panoramic views from Lotrščak Tower, where the cannon still fires daily at noon.

Stop 2

☕ Coffee Break — the Croatian Way
In the middle of the tour, we’ll pause for a coffee break at one of Zagreb’s charming cafés. Coffee here is more than just a drink — it’s a ritual, a moment to slow down and talk about everything from daily life to politics or local gossip. And in true Croatian fashion, since I’m the one inviting you — coffee is on me.

Stop 3

Lower Town (Donji Grad), where 19th-century architecture and green urban parks reveal Zagreb’s modern charm.

Stroll through Zrinjevac Park, a lush oasis surrounded by neoclassical palaces, museums, and galleries. Admire landmarks such as the Croatian National Theatre (HNK), the Art Pavilion, and architectural gems like the Kalina Palace and the city’s first skyscraper, symbols of a period when Zagreb flourished as part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
