Description

Get an introduction to the rich history of the Croatian capital, dating back to medieval times, on a 2.5-hour guided walk. Your local guide will take you from Zrinjevac park to the main square Ban Jelacic where you’ll learn how Zagreb got its name, and then futher to the Cathedral, the one of the most important landmarks in the city. Hear about the origins of the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the difficulties it has sustained, and its renovation. Your route takes you to Dolac Market, the belly of Zagreb and to vibrant Tkalciceva Street, better known as the bar street, where there’s always a steady stream of people. Hear about the philosophy of lounging and other everyday habits of the locals. Don's miss to see the WW2 tunnel before continuing to the Upper Town (Gradec). A short stroll away is the charming funicular. This is the oldest form of public transportation in the city that has bringing joy to the citizens of Zagreb for over 135 years. Hop on and take a ride. The Upper Town (Gradec) is one of the 2 medieval settlements that formed Zagreb. Take a walk along the charming Strossmayer promenade, the best spot for panoramic views of Zagreb rooftops.

Descend to the oldest pharmacy in Zagreb, dating from the 14th century. Walk through the Stone Gate as you leave the Upper Town. The gate was a part of the city walls and is the only gate that has survived. Inside there is a small chapel housing the miraculous picture depicting Our Lady, the patron saint of Zagreb. After your visit to the old town, your guide will tell you about witchcraft and show you some hidden gems of the city. Your tour ends back at the Main Square, where you’ll say goodbye to your guide.
