Free Tour: Zagreb and Its Ups and Downs
♡ Save
Join our Magical Mystery Tour of Zagreb! Discover the city’s top sights through fun stories and hidden gems as we explore the vibrant heart of Croatia’s capital together.
During our tour, we are going to get to know the city of Zagreb and its main sights in a fun, interesting way, with special attention given to lesser known and less obvious facts that might not be known to a first time visitor (and, sometimes, even a person well acquainted with Zagreb).
We are going to find out why is the saber of Ban Jelačić pointed the way it is, what is the secret of the Bridge of Blood and what runs beneath the Tkalčićeva street, pass through the Stony Gate in order to visit the center of political power at the St. Mark Square, take a walk around the Upper Town, and then return to the safety of the main square.
I'm eager to accompany you on the tour around the heart of Zagreb!
