Itinerary

  1. Zrinjevac

    10 min

    Your local guide will wait for you next to the meteorological post, holding a “Zagreb Stories” sign. You’ll get a short introduction into what to expect and a few fun facts about this location.

  2. Stop 2

    5 min

    Take a look at the model of the city for a clearer picture of the landscape. It’s a bronze cast and it depicts the center of the city. You will also see the word "welcome" written in many languages - that's how the sculpture got its name.

  3. Cathedral of Zagreb

    20 min

    Welcome to Kaptol hill, one of the 2 hills that form the medieval core of Zagreb: Kaptol and Gradec. Admire the beautiful cathedral and hear the story about the founding of Zagreb and the “church hill” Kaptol.

  4. Dolac Market

    10 min

    Soak up the colorful and vibrant atmosphere of this iconic farmers market. The one thing that Dolac is most famous for are the red umbrellas or better said, parasols.

  5. Tkalciceva Street

    10 min

    Visit the city’s most vibrant street, learn about what the locals do for fun and hear a few interesting local legends. The street is full of restaurants and bars so it's a great place for a night out.

  6. Krvavi Most

    10 min

    We'll make a short stop at Bloody Bridge Street. It used to be a bridge and today it's a charming street. It's time for a story about how such a lovely street got such a bloody name.

  7. Tunel Gric

    5 min

    We'll enter the Grič Tunnel, built during WWII. You'll hear some fascinating stories about Zagreb's underground. Plus, on a hot day, it gives us a chance to cool off a little bit.

  8. Stop 8

    15 min

    We'll arrive to the Stone Gate, an entrance to the medieval Gradec hill. As we pass through, you will hear a story about a miracle. We’ll also see Zagreb’s first pharmacy.

  9. St. Mark's Square

    20 min

    Visit the heart of the medieval Gradec hill. This was the place where all the most important things in the town used to happen. Today it is a home to the most colorful church roof, and the Parliament and Government buildings.

  10. Church of St. Catherine

    5 min

    We'll make a short stop at the Church of St. Catherine. It is a beautiful church known for its Baroque stucco decorations and painted ceiling.

  11. Lotrscak Tower

    15 min

    Part of the original defensive walls from the 13th century with an interesting origin story. Don’t be scared if you hear a cannon fire at noon – it happens every day and if you choose a morning tour, we’ll be there just on time to see and hear it!

  12. Stop 12

    5 min Admission included

    The funicular has become one of the symbols of Zagreb. It is called "Uspinjača" and it connects the Upper and Lower Town. Time to enjoy the shortest funicular ride in the world!

  13. Ban Josip Jelacic Square

    10 min

    We will end our tour at Zagreb’s main square, the heart of modern-day Zagreb. You'll hear a story about how Zagreb got its name and learn about a few local customs. Your guide will be happy to give you some recommendations for the rest of your time in Zagreb.
