Popular Tour Itineraries Featuring Zagreb

I've liked Zagreb from the very first time I visited, as it was a whole new world. Afterward, I lived there as a student and with the great memories I made there, I'm always happy to be back. Zagreb represents diversity, variety, freedom, culture and friends. I love its historic and mysterious Upper Town with so many stories linked to it. I like its parks, its cultural and art scene, its vibes. I equally enjoy sipping coffee in cozy cafes in winter or outside on the patio, watching passerby. I particularly like Zagreb in spring. I also love to eat štrukli, take a cable car to Sljeme mountain, and cycle or walk along the Sava River and its lakes.

Zagreb is home to one of Europe's best Christmas Markets, but also makes for an amazing destination in the summer, with its lively city squares and cafe/bar-filled streets. The capital of Croatia offers many do-not-miss historical attractions.

As Croatia's capital, Zagreb is always very lively, but my favourite time in Zagreb is spring. As a very green city with lots of parks and people with flowers everywhere, it's an extremely beautiful time of year. Magnolia trees everywhere, their petals flying around on a light breeze, and the whole city living outside, on the streets, in cafes, markets, it's like everything wakes up at once. And, despite being a big city, Zagreb has the fragrance of the thousands of roses people plant in their yards and on their balconies.
