Half-day city tour of Zagreb

Begin your day at Ban Jelačić Square, the vibrant heart of Zagreb, where you will feel the energy of a city that blends history and modern life. In the morning, your licensed guide will lead you through the twin hills of Gradec and Kaptol, medieval settlements that gave birth to the city. Their cobbled streets whisper stories of alliances and conflicts that shaped Zagreb as we know it today.

The first gem is the Stone Gate, dating back to the 13th century, the only remaining entrance to the Upper Town, followed by St. Mark’s Square with its iconic church and colorful roof, telling Croatia’s story in ceramic tiles. The Lotrščak Tower, which marks noon with a cannon shot, and the Zagreb Funicular, one of the shortest still operating in the world, offer a charming glimpse into everyday city life.

In the afternoon, the elegant St. Catherine’s Square and the Bloody Bridge reveal Baroque legends and bloody tales spanning centuries. Tkalčićeva Street invites you to experience local life among cafés and lively bars, while the Dolac Market awakens your senses with the colors and aromas of fresh produce. Conclude your tour before the majestic Zagreb Cathedral, viewing the city with a newfound familiarity.

Greca Tip: wear comfortable shoes; every corner of Zagreb deserves unhurried exploration.
