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.
- Mirogoj Cemetery - One 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.
- Museum of Broken Relationships - This 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.
- Blue trams - Constantly 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.
- Zagreb Observatory - If 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.
- Brestovac Sanatorium - If 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.
