What travelers are saying

"I took the most amazing tour across Portugal and Spain through Bestway Tours last year. It was a 10 day tour visiting historic cities across the countries and was blown away by level of service and convenience the team provided. I've learned so much through the knowledgeable tour guides and enjoyed lots of delicious local food. I cannot wait to take another Bestway Tour in the future!"

What travelers are saying

"We purchased two backpacks from Rick Steves Europe. One of them arrived damaged and unusable. Their website says that you must contact them if you receive damaged merchandise. I have attempted to email them through their website and I have left 3 voicemails (nobody answers the phone, ever!) and nobody has contacted me back. At this point, it seems like I've been ripped off. Buyer beware. Extremely disappointed."

"I’ve gone on a few trips by MGTC and all of them have been fantastic. They know where you wanna go, who you want to take you or be your guide, if anything goes awry you call them and they fix it. They make your days away wonderful, and stress free and planning your dream trip is easy! Russ and Suzie have planned all my trips. I can’t tell you how many times I thought I stepped foot into a calendar or computer wall paper! It’s the best value per dollar you can get for travel!"

What travelers are saying

"This tour has amazing sites, good hotels in great locations, great pace BUT the tour director that was assigned to be with our small group added nothing to the experience. He did not give us any info, tell us about what we were seeing, give us any info at all. The only time he talked was to tell us when the next bathroom break would be. Apparently this is common for Globus to use retirees starting another chapter. Our guide was 76 and had no energy. Travel with Gate 1 or Intreped.... guides can make or break a tour."

What travelers are saying

"My first Avalon cruise/land tour to Vietnam/Cambodia was the best experience of my 80 plus cruises. We recently took the Avalon Egypt/Jordan cruise/land tour and it was the polar opposite. Most sites were awesome but the tour needed a guide in addition to the Egyptologist, who didn’t look out for the safety/best interests of the guests. I submitted a detailed review of Egypt and Jordan but have not yet heard back."

Additional details

For travelers looking for unique cities on the up and coming, you won’t have to look any farther than Zagreb. Many visitors use Zagreb as the starting off point for their trip through Croatia or the rest of the Balkans, but spending a couple of days here can acquaint you with Croatian life and the varied past of this land. Zagreb has a special and telling past that sets it apart from much of the rest of Croatia and is an ideal destination for both the summer and the winter.

Zagreb Weather

The high season for travelers to Zagreb is during May to September. These are the warmest months for the city and the busiest. Weather during these months are warm but not unbearable nor unpleasant.

Zagreb is dissimilar to it’s coastal city counterparts. Due to being farther inland and near the mountains, Zagreb’s overall climate is cooler, which means it is a perfect destination for the holidays.

If you are looking for a special holiday trip, Zagreb will not disappoint. The city during the winter takes on a romantic air with buildings and parks covered with snow and one of their biggest holidays, the Advent Festival, brings a festive feeling to the city.

Off-the-Beaten Path Activities in Zagreb

For travelers who are interested in checking out attractions that are off-the-beaten path or looking for a once in a lifetime experience, Zagreb has plenty to keep you busy.

  1. Mirogoj CemeteryOne of Zagreb’s most famous sites, Mirogoj Cemetery is an interesting afternoon experience. The cemetery sits north of the city above the Upper Town and is place of peace, architecture masterpieces, and the resting place to some of Zagreb’s most famous citizens. You can get lost in the green domed arcades or visit the many mausoleums scattered throughout the cemetery.
  2. Museum of Broken RelationshipsThis quirky museum is located in the Kulmer Palace in the historic Upper Town. With another location in Los Angeles, the museum is dedicated to the public, housing items that represent heartbreak with exhibits including axes, rings, and empty cups of fortune cookies.
  3. Blue tramsConstantly on the go through the city and one of Zagreb’s two main public transportation systems, the blue tram is a window to the past. The first tram in Zagreb was created in the late-1800s but became a symbol of the socialist era when Croatia was part of Yugoslavia. Generally packed and stuffy, these trams offer a look into the daily life of a local.
  4. Zagreb ObservatoryIf you’re looking for a relaxing night activity, you can find it at the Zagreb Observatory. With over 100 years of history, the observatory holds lectures, stargazing events, and educational experiences for visitors.
  5. Brestovac SanatoriumIf you are looking for a little scare, try to find the hidden Brestovac Sanatorium. Once used as a sanatorium for those with tuberculosis, the abandoned building is now a hotspot for thrillseekers, ghost hunters, and paintballers. The sanatorium is so well hidden in the woods that many locals even have trouble finding the building.

Safety in Zagreb

Zagreb, like most of Croatia, has a low violent crime rate. The most common issues a traveler may encounter are pickpocketing and overcharging. You may encounter these in the restaurants and nightclubs of Zagreb.

Solo female travelers should feel comfortable to walk around Zagreb alone. During the night, it is recommended to use your best judgment or travel with a group when exploring Zagreb’s nightclub scene.

Interestingly enough, Zagreb is seismically active. However, it is not common to experience any large tremors. But don’t panic if you may experience a smaller shake while you are there.

Zagreb Food and Art scene

With its continued growth and importance in Europe and the travel industry, Zagreb’s food and art scene has blossomed.

The food scene in Zagreb has its origins in traditional Croatian cuisine such as large lunches and fish dishes, but has also become globalized. Restaurants and cafes featuring bistro, fusion, and noodle dishes have begun popping up in the Downtown. Tkalciceva, the central street to Zagreb’s food culture, is home to martini bars, dessert bars, and little bistros. Visitors to Zagreb won’t have to look for long to discover this foodie street.

In addition to the food culture growth in Zagreb, the art scene has also found its footing. Dotted throughout Zagreb’s many parks are statutes of famous Croatians and modern architectural pieces. The city has begun to embrace murals and commissioned art pieces as well. Some of the most significant pieces can be seen near the Museum of Contemporary Art and Gallery and throughout the various city parks.
