Things to Do in Zagreb

The city's main neo-Gothic cathedral with two tall spires. Free to enter and explore the interior, including the treasury for a small fee.

🕐 10:00-17:00 Mon-Sat, 13:00-17:00 Sun

💡 Visit late afternoon when the sun lights the stained glass windows from inside. The square outside has no shade so bring water.

The main open-air farmers' market on a raised square above the main square. Stalls sell fresh fruit, vegetables, flowers, and local honey. Free to wander and browse.

🕐 07:00-15:00 Mon-Sat, 07:00-13:00 Sun

💡 Go before 11am for the best produce. Try the 'strukli' from a bakery stall – a savoury pastry costing about €2. No haggling expected.

A large 19th-century park with lakes, woodland paths, and a small zoo (fee applies for zoo). Perfect for a relaxed walk or picnic away from the city noise.

🕐 Open 24 hours

💡 Bring your own food. The park café is overpriced and average. Enter from the main gate near Maksimir tram stop.

A museum displaying personal objects left over from ended relationships, each with a short story. Entry is about €6, which is cheap for a museum this original.

🕐 09:00-21:00 daily

💡 Go on the first Wednesday of the month for half-price entry. The museum shop sells quirky souvenirs you won't find elsewhere.

Famous for its colourful tiled roof showing the Zagreb and Croatia coats of arms. Entrance is free, but often closed to visitors as it's an active church.

🕐 Not regularly open to visitors; exterior view free

💡 The roof is best viewed from the steps of the Croatian Parliament building opposite. Go early to avoid crowds in the small square.
