In 1930s Dolac farmers market was the very heart of the city. Every

morning kumice would come to the market carrying baskets full of home

grown produce on their heads and selling them to the locals. Just how

important they were in the life of the city is shown in the statue of kumica

erected on the market. During Zagreb Time Machine kumice are brought to

life in their traditional costumes, as they sell fresh fruits and vegetables to

the citizens of Zagreb.

DON'T MISS

Mirogoj, the central cemetery in Zagreb, is located on the slopes

of Medvednica and is considered to be one of the most beautiful cemeteries in Europe. Howev-

er, Mirogoj is also a beautiful park and an outdoor art gallery. The arcades are the most beau-tiful part of the cemetery – the construction bega in 1879, only

three years after Mirogoj was opened, and they were complet-ed thirty eight years later. Miro-

goj is the resting place of many famous Croats and the complex also contains a number of valu-

able monuments made by promi-nent Croatian artists.


8The picturesque St. Mark's Church is one of the oldest build-ings in Zagreb and one of its symbols, distinctive for its roof made of multicolor roof tiles. The church has existed since the 13th cen-tury, but it famous roof is much younger – it was in-stalled during its most re-cent reconstruction in the second half of the 19th

century. The roof features emblems of the Croatian regions of Dalmatia and Slavonia on the left side, and the Zagreb City em-blem on the right side. There are three altars in the interior, sculpted by Ivan Meštrovićm, and Kljaković's sacristy paint-ed from the floor to the ceiling. Organ concerts of-ten take place here.

As one of the best preserved mon-uments of old Zagreb, this is the only remaining gate of the former city defense system. It was built in the 13th century and given its present design in 1760. The pas-

sageway within the gate contains a chapel with a picture of St. Mary of the Stone Gate, the city guardian, which according to a legend sur-vived a major fire in 1731 without any damage.STONE GATE

8The history of the Art Pavilion is in a way the history of the Croatian 20th century fine arts. This is one of the oldest exhibition areas in this part of Europe, spe-

cifically designed for major exhibitions. It is situated be-tween the Central Railway Station and Zrinjevac, in the very heart of Lenuci’s Green Horseshoe.

ART PAVILION

FUNICULAR

8The funicular pro-vides organized pub-lic transport of passen-gers to the upper part of Zagreb. It connects the Downtown and the Old Town every working day and on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from 6.30am to 10pm and has to this day retained its original exterior design and struc-ture, as well as most of the technical characteris-tics given to it by its build-ers in 1890 when it was opened. It leaves every ten minutes and the price of one ride is HRK 4. Com-pared to other cable cars intended for public trans-port, its track of only 66 meters makes it the short-est one in the world.

Zagreb CathedralThe Cathedral of the As-sumption of Blessed Vir-gin May, Saint Stephen and Saint Ladislaus, or the Zagreb Cathedral is the largest Croatian sa-cral building and one of the most valuable monu-ments of the Croatian cultural heritage. The church has stood in the same location since 1093 and the construction of the present building be-gan in the 13th century. The last major recon-struction was made at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, while the tow-ers are still being recon-structed in stages. The church is open for tour-ists, may be entered at any time of the day, and a mass in Croatian is held several times a day.


Hundreds of food pro-ducers from Zagreb and

its surrounding areas arrive every day at the Dolac marketplace, lo-cated only a few steps

from the central city square, to sell fresh

fruits, vegetables, meat, cheese and cream, flow-

ers… Dolac is referred to as the city belly be-

cause it has fed the local residents for 85 years. At the top of the stairs there is a sculpture of a traditional producer

and seller - kumica.

Croatian National Theater8The neo-baroque Croatian National

Theater building, a mas-terpiece of late historicism designed by the Austrian architect Ferdinand Fell-

ner and German architect Hermann Helmer, is cer-tainly one of the most im-pressive buildings in Za-greb. Opened in 1895 and seating 750 people, it has

one iron curtain and seven painted curtains displayed on different formal occa-sions. Theatre goers can enjoy drama, opera or bal-let there.

LOTRŠĆAK DOLAC

St. Catherine’s

Church

The tower was built in mid-13th century to protect the south city gate and has been used throughout history as living quarters, a ware-house, a coffee shop… Tourists can enjoy a spectacular view of the city from the top of the tower, visit an exhibi-tion or buy some local products in the souve-nir shop. The Grič Can-on is on the fourth floor, and it greets the resi-dents of Zagreb every day precisely at noon.

St. Catherine’s Church is the most famous Croa-tian baroque church. It is located on Katarina

Zrinska Square, erected as part of a former Jesuit

complex in Zagreb Old Town. It was built from 1620 to 1632 and its six

side chapels contain five baroque altars dating

back to the 17th century, and a marble altar from

1732.

of items deriving from broken relationships. An

emotional separation may be overcome by

donating memories to the museum collection

and thus recognizing the end of the relationship.

The Kulmer Palace is full of different objects, from matchboxes to wedding

gowns.

A fearless fighter for human rights and the first female journalist in Croatia has always been one step ahead of her time. She became famous for her romantic novels with elements of national history. The statue is the work of Stjepan Gračan.

8 One of the most visited and most popular streets in Zagreb is definitely Tkalčićeva street which the citizens of Zagreb common-ly call “Tkalča”. With over twenty different coffee bars, restaurants, souvenir shops, bou-tiques, and pastry shops, it is a great place for tourists. Lokma restaurant in Tkalčićeva street serves traditional Turkish dishes, which is why two visitors from Saudi Arabia have chosen to eat there. “We are visiting Zagreb for the first time and we are having a wonderful time. This chicken is great,” Ahmed said. Besides tourists, Tkalčićeva street is a favourite destination for a number of younger and older locals. "Tkalča" is a synonym for rich offer of food, drinks, and fun time.There are numerous souvenir shops for you to visit once you are in the city, and treats such as pancakes and ice cream are found on eve-

ry corner of the street. "Tkalča" is frequent-ly visited throughout the year, but especially when the weather is nicer. Although it offers a handful of various modern facilities, it dis-plays the spirit of the city’s historic core. It is one of the oldest streets in the city. There is also a monument to Marija Jurić Zagorka, a writer and journalist from Zagreb, and a well-known sundial showing the exact time.A pleasant atmosphere, rich and diverse of-fer, and friendly people are exactly what make this street so popular. It is hardly imaginable that there might be someone in Zagreb who has not heard of "Tkalča" and judging by the number of visitors, tourists have heard of it as well. In general, the popular "Tkalča" in Za-greb is a place to have coffee or go for a night out, as well as an interesting part of the city for sightseeing.

8 A group of students and young people hav-ing coffee after school or work and talking is a scene from Oliver Twist Cafe when we visit-ed Tkalčićeva. Mali Medo Pub is also one of the most popular places in the city located right there. It is a perfect place to have beer in the city centre. The outdoor terrace extends to a large part of "Tkalča" and accommodates over 400 guests. Next to the pub there is a souvenir shop where you can buy bottled beer, mugs, T-shirts, etc. There is also the Beer Exchange where the demand determines the price of beer. The sunny afternoon has lured a number of people outside to have beer. His-tory Village is one of the most popular places to go out. Apart from History Village, there is also the pop-ular Alcatraz. Both clubs work during the day as cof-fee bars.

8 The street was named after John the Baptist Tkalčić (4 May 1840 – 11 May 1905) who was Kaptol's historian and ar-chaeologist responsible for discovering and recording a lot of data on the history of Zagreb. Tkalčićeva street is located be-tween Gradec and Kaptol and above the Medveščak brook. It used to be the street of workers, the poor, and the servants who worked for the wealthy from Gradec or for church dignitaries from Kaptol. Today it is one of the most elite destinations in the very centre of the city. It is an indispensa-ble place for tourists who visit Zagreb, and for many people it is generally an indispen-sable place for leisure time.

The bus rides every weekend, de-parting from Bakačeva street and taking you to 17 most important locations around the city.

Places of departure are Zrin-jevac and Katarinin trg, and you can choose between three differ-ent routes. The vehicle is almost completely noiseless, and the driv-er wearing an old top hat and a cape will take you back in time.Untill the end of September you can ride for free around Zrinjevac and Trg kralja Tomislava. You can drive freely between 12 am to 6 pm every Wedensday within the project "Sourcing on Electricity" under the general sponsorship of HEP Hrvatska elektroprivreda.

Zagreb offers great variety of places that children will enjoy. Take them to Maksimir, ride around the town in the tourist train, visit the biggest little railway model in this part of the Europe... And be sure - it's not only the kids who will love those activities, so will you!

8Zagreb ZOO stretches on 7 hectares of the south-ern part of Maksimir Park, and boasts nearly 300 animal spe-cies. The ZOO has numerous external dwellings and sever-al theme pavilions. The oldest inhabitant is a crocodile from Nile, who came to live here in 1972. The ZOO organizes events, workshops and presentations.The ZOO was under construction for two years, and follow-ing the completions of works last year it was opened for visi-tors. One of the nov-elties is a large avi-ary for hundreds of African birds. There is also the new entrance with video surveillance and a visi-tor counter, an additional east entrance, a souvenir shop with around 300 authentic souvenirs that is thre times larger than the previous one, and an addition-

al educational centre. The boil-er room that used to run on fuel oil has been turned into an en-vironment-friendly one, running on pellets. Two bridges have been built and cultural monuments have been restored – the Napoli Fisher-

man (Napuljski rib-ar), and the Lion’s Bridge (Lavlji most), adorned with four new stone lion stat-ues onto which eve-ry child wants to climb to have their picture taken.The spacious Kide-po Lion’s Rock was also erected, as well as a new enclosure for the globally en-dangered red pan-da, and a Madagas-car area. A so-called

“spider’s web” made out of rope, trampolines, benches and deck chairs has been fitted on Swan Island (Labuđi otok) which has recently been connected via Darwin’s Bridge.

8A few years ago Zagreb Electric Tram company (ZET) introduced free train rides for tourists, and kids are crazy about them. The train rides every weekend between 10am and 7.20pm, eve-ry 40 minutes, along the following route: Ban Jelačić Square, Ilica, Frankopanska, Masarykova, Teslina, Praška, Jurišićeva to Trg žrtava fašizma, and then back to the central square.

BACKO MINI EXPRESSThe biggest model train in Southeast Europe can be found in Gundulićeva street 4. The man behind the idea is Antun Urbić, who got his first model train from Switzerland when he was five. He was fascinat-ed by mini trains which looked exactly like the real thing, so he decided to make his first model in the attic of his house. He soon developed the idea of opening it for visitors. Today he has over 1000 meters of rails and nearly 100 trains, railways sta-tions, and shops. During winter days and the very famous Advent in Zagreb event a model of the Snow Queen ski race was added, and it was a huge success. Backo Mini Express broke all records when it introduced an Advent Fairytale, hosting more than 2700 foreign visitors, which is a 50% increase compared to last year. Backo Mini Express is open for visitors every day.

8Go to Popov toranj and reach for the stars… The tower dome is home to a century-old Zagreb observatory, opened on 5 December 1903. City fa-thers believed that Popov toranj was ideal for an observatory, as it stands high enough over the city, and the telescope can reach above the polluted atmosphere layers, where the clear sky opens right before your eyes. The tower is in the very centre of Zagreb, and can be reached on foot.

8Children who are 14 and older can play a popular game room es-cape – they are locked in a room, and have 60 min-utes to find a way out by solving different puzzles. Considering the size of the city, Zagreb’s offer of room escape venues plac-es it in the very top – the total of 10 rooms are on of-fer in four locations. Es-cape room is a game for two to six players (some-times a maximum of five), who have an hour to dis-cover all hidden objects and keys, decipher codes, solve puzzles and riddles, think logically, and work together on solving the problem and finally break-ing out. Children and par-ents can choose from four different room escapes in Zagreb and play the one they like the most.

8Not far from Zagreb city center, a center for children and adults has been opened which gives you an opportunity to spend your free time in a fun and educational way choosing between 250 wooden games, puz-zles and different brain teasers and riddles.A smart playground is an educational center unique in the world, intended for both children and adults, opened on Zavrtnica, not far from Zagreb city cent-er. It is an entirely new concept which gives vis-itors an opportunity to spend their free time in a fun and educational way choosing between 250 wooden games, puzzles and different brain teas-ers and riddles. All visi-

tors in the educational center have an opportuni-ty to stimulate their brain and keep if fit through play and fun, with profes-sional staff that will help them solve games and ap-ply what they learned in everyday life.The first part of this edu-cational center consists of a smart playroom where all age groups areallowed, whether com-ing as families, individu-als or groups. Here, they can play games that re-quire a lot of brain rack-ing, such as the world’s most famous brain teas-ers: tangram, pentom-ino, the love test, pyra-mid, and many others. Some of the games are of XXL size, so solving them activates the en-

tire human body, and some are competitive, so players need to make an effort to think as fast and hard as they can. The smart playroom is open for all visitors, eve-ry day from 9 am until 10 pm. All activities can be carried out in Croatian, English or Spanish.

MUST TRY

In local restaurans ask for specialties from this region and shop for products that reflect the unique identity of Zagreb surroundingsAUTHOR RENE BAKALOVIĆ

8Zagreb’s gastronomy is a perfect combination of culinary traditions – of the clergy, the nobility and then the bourgeois, the so-called purgeraj (from the German word Burger meaning citizen), and the rustic tradition of the picturesque ring encircling the city: Zagorje and Prigorje, which developed for nine long centuries. In the urban life of Zagreb, the resi-dents always wanted to show they were able to keep up with the global culinary trends present in major metropolitan centers in neighboring countries – Vien-na and Budapest. Women from the villages of Zagorje and Prigorje brought first-class fresh ingredients to marketplaces in Zagreb on a daily basis. This top se-lection available in Zagreb’s marketplaces has spread to all Croatian regions, as it becomes evident in the restaurants all over the city: Dalmatian, Istrian and Slavonian cuisine. They are now an exhibition of Cro-atian gastro icons.

This two-piece dairy package has developed into a symbol of authentic culinary heritage. Extremely simple, yet very delicate. This cult-status duo is only produced from the milk of cows grazing unpolluted pastures, unquestionably fresh full-fat sour cream and carefully drained cheese. Beside fresh bread, you only need a little salt and perhaps some hot paprika.

Cottage cheese and cream

ŠTRUKLIŠtrukli is a favorite coocked or gratinated pastry, a result of

the transformation of the German strudel on its way east. Štrukli are commonly mentioned in the context

of presenting Croatia to the world. It makes sense: the stuffing consists of cheese

and cream. In Esplanade, the most prestigious hotel both in former

Yugoslavia and now in Croatia, štrukli has been enjoyed by kings and queens, the most prominent statesmen, and the greatest stars of the film

and music industries.

KRAM POGAČEPork scratches are not exclusive to Croatia, but nobody is as mad about them as Croats are. The best ones are sold at very high prices. We love pork scratches so much we put them in the basic food product - pogača, the predecessor of bread. Kram pogača is a small pogača seasoned with ground pork scratches and pepper. These small bites are perfectly combined with a glass of wine or beer.

ZAGORJE SOUPCroats love soups and make them from all kinds of ingredients. Broths like this Zagorje soup can replace an entire meal. This is no wonder - a real Zagorje soup inevitably contains enough good cured meat, dry and fresh mushrooms, root vegetables, onions, garlic and potatoes, hot paprika, pepper, laurel leaf, wine vinegar and, finally, a spoon of sour cream.

TURKEY WITH MLINCIIn its native country of America, turkeys are now huge domesticated

birds. The Zagorje turkey is the smallest protected species, semi-wild

and requiring plenty of outdoor space to survive. This is why its meat it fabulously

succulent. It does not require lots of spices, only mlinci, a traditional kind of pasta gratinated on a wood oven and then doused in gravy, as a side dish.

Bujska pivovara is the only brewery of this kind in Istria. Product range includes red, pale and dark San Servolo beers, all unfiltered and unpasteurized.

Bošnjak Beer is made by the Bošnjak family from Sičica near Nova Gradiška. In addition to pale ale, they also make dark beer and pale lager.

The first mini-brewery and pub in Zagreb. They started by making their pale beer Zlatni medvjed, dark beer Crna kraljica, and mixed Mrki medvjed. Their Agram Stout is a dark beer made from roasted barley and malt.

Dino Konta and Sanja Cvetanović started brewing their own beer after experimenting in their kitchen. They started their Pivionica brewery and proceeded to make Fulir, a pale lager, made from natural ingredients.

For as long as these parts have been inhabited, wine has been an inseparable component of both the daily routine and festivitiesAUTHOR SAŠA ŠPIRANEC

The great local wine varieties

8Wine is one of the most valuable elements of the Croatian tradition and gastronomic heritage. For as long as these parts have been inhabited, wine has been an inseparable compo-nent of both the daily routine and festivities. Over centu-ries, each Croatian wine re-gion developed its own dis-tinctive wine varieties that fully adapted to the climate, soil and expectations of their residents. When you find yourself in one of the wine regions of Croatia such as Dalmatia,

Istria, Hilly Croatia or Sla-vonia, don’t forget to taste some of the wines favorite among the local population.In Dalmatia, it is plavac mali. This is the most important and the most represented red variety in Croatia. It yields soft, ripe and succu-lent wines when offered in a lower price range and origi-nates from Dalmatian fields situated in ravines hidden in endless karst. On the other hand, when it comes from steep slopes facing the sun and the sea, usually from islands or peninsulas such

as Hvar, Brač and Pelješac, it gives powerful, warm, strong and ripe wines, per-fectly reflecting the harsh conditions that created them with their richness and con-centration.When in Istria, malvazija is the most important variety to try. A white wine full of freshness and pleasant aro-mas of ripe fruits, such as peaches and hints of blos-soming acacias. In addition to this basic edition, malva-sia can also be found in more ambitious forms after ageing for a long time and develop-

ing a more complex aromat-ic set.When in hilly Croatia, look for aromatic white varieties such as sauvignon blanc or Riesling (locally referred to as rajnski rizling). They also use many other varieties to make wine in the region, but what they all have in com-mon are lively acids and a highly refreshing character. The wines of hilly Croatia work ideally as an aperitif, refreshment in summertime, or to go with a light meal.Slavonia and the Danube Region are an empire of graševina, the most impor-tant and represented white variety, but also a general type. Graševina is a good-times wine, and is ideal to go with your lunch. It is normal-ly bold and refreshing with attractive aromas of apple, pineapple or citrus, and is offered at very affordable prices. Sometimes, when it comes from later harvests, it shows quite a different face and its aromas.

Fairy-tale sites abound in the region, which has been chosen as the setting of the fourth season of the Game of Thrones. The basements of the ancient Diocletian’s Palace in Split, the beautiful Žrnovnica river, green inlands, Biokovo mountain near Baška Voda, and Klis, the strongest and one of the most beautiful Croatian medieval forts create a perfect, natural setting for fights, intrigues, betrayals, and revenge in this fantastic TV series. If you visit Split between 15 and 17 July, do not miss the biggest electronic music festival in Europe - Ultra Europe, held at Poljud stadium.

Not more than 10 kilometres from the coast lies the green heart of the region, rich in natural beauties, centuries-old forts, beautiful river and impressive history. One of the places worth visiting is Sinj, the home of the Sinjska alka knights' tournament, traditionally held for more than 300 years on every first Sunday in August, honouring Our Lady of Sinj. This is the most important event in the region - a spectacle of colours, with participants (alkari) wearing original uniforms, preserved for centuries in the region, accompanied by their helpers. The tramping of horses, the clang of spears against the alka, the spirit of competitiveness and the dignity of knights - Alka is recognised by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage.

Zlatni rat beach on the island of Brač, near the town of Bol, will leave you breathless. This unique beach is shaped daily by the waves and the wind, turning its elongated tip either left or right. The wind creates perfect conditions for water sports, and sandy bottom and gravel beach in the crystal clear sea are pure pleasure. The island of Brač is famous for its high-quality hard stone with the range of 20 colours, used for building the Diocletian’s Palace in Split, the Parliament building in Vienna, and the White House in Washington.
