Top Attractions in Zagreb
💡 Visit late afternoon when the sun lights the stained glass windows from inside. The square outside has no shade so bring water.
💡 Go before 11am for the best produce. Try the 'strukli' from a bakery stall – a savoury pastry costing about €2. No haggling expected.
💡 Bring your own food. The park café is overpriced and average. Enter from the main gate near Maksimir tram stop.
💡 Go on the first Wednesday of the month for half-price entry. The museum shop sells quirky souvenirs you won't find elsewhere.
💡 The roof is best viewed from the steps of the Croatian Parliament building opposite. Go early to avoid crowds in the small square.
