Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The history of Zagreb begins with the history of the Cathedral in 1093, when the Hungarian king Ladislav founded the Diocese of Zagreb in the area of present-day Kaptol and raised the church to the level of the cathedral at that time.

Stop 2

The "belly of the city" of Zagreb, the largest farmers market in the city.

From the end of the 19th century to the 30s of the 20th century, Tkalča was the Zagreb equivalent of the Amsterdam "Red Light District". Today it is the main tourist and night life street in downtown.

Bloody Bridge - the border between Gradec and Kaptol across the Medveščak stream marked by frequent clashes between Gradec and Kaptol residents.

Stop 5

The Stone Gate has been the home of shrine of Our Lady of the Stone Gate, which is also the patron saint of the city of Zagreb for many centuries...

Stop 6

The Church of St. Mark is one of the oldest buildings in Zagreb and one of its symbols. It is mentioned in the list of parish churches in the 1334 Kaptol Statute.

The funicular for the Upper Town is considered to be the oldest means of public transport for passengers in Zagreb, and was created in 1892.

Stop 8

Founded in 1860, the Croatian National Theater in Zagreb meant the achievement of the decades-long aspirations of the Illyrians, and especially one of them Dimitri Demeter, for the Croatian people to have their own theater in their own language.

Stop 9

The first Croatian King 925-928, but before that he ruled the principality of Croatia.

Stop 10

An urban plan was adopted in 1876 to design the lower city. The idea was to merge all the squares of the lower city into a single framework.
