What to expect

  1. Zrinjevac

    Your local guide will wait for you next to the meteorological post, holding a “Zagreb Stories” sign. You’ll get a short introduction into what to expect and a few fun facts about this location.
  2. 5m
    Take a look at the model of the city for a clearer picture of the landscape. It’s a bronze cast and it depicts the center of the city. You will also see the word "welcome" written in many languages - that's how the sculpture got its name.
  3. Cathedral of Zagreb
    20m
    Welcome to Kaptol hill, one of the 2 hills that form the medieval core of Zagreb: Kaptol and Gradec. Admire the beautiful cathedral and hear the story about the founding of Zagreb and the “church hill” Kaptol.
  4. Dolac Market
    10m
    Soak up the colorful and vibrant atmosphere of this iconic farmers market. The one thing that Dolac is most famous for are the red umbrellas or better said, parasols.
  5. Tkalciceva Street
    10m
    Visit the city’s most vibrant street, learn about what the locals do for fun and hear a few interesting local legends. The street is full of restaurants and bars so it's a great place for a night out.
  6. Krvavi Most
    10m
    We'll make a short stop at Bloody Bridge Street. It used to be a bridge and today it's a charming street. It's time for a story about how such a lovely street got such a bloody name.
  7. Tunel Gric
    5m
    We'll enter the Grič Tunnel, built during WWII. You'll hear some fascinating stories about Zagreb's underground. Plus, on a hot day, it gives us a chance to cool off a little bit.
  8. 15m
    We'll arrive to the Stone Gate, an entrance to the medieval Gradec hill. As we pass through, you will hear a story about a miracle. We’ll also see Zagreb’s first pharmacy.
  9. St. Mark's Square
    20m
    Visit the heart of the medieval Gradec hill. This was the place where all the most important things in the town used to happen. Today it is a home to the most colorful church roof, and the Parliament and Government buildings.
  10. Church of St. Catherine
    5m
    We'll make a short stop at the Church of St. Catherine. It is a beautiful church known for its Baroque stucco decorations and painted ceiling.
  11. Lotrscak Tower
    15m
    Part of the original defensive walls from the 13th century with an interesting origin story. Don’t be scared if you hear a cannon fire at noon – it happens every day and if you choose a morning tour, we’ll be there just on time to see and hear it!
  12. 5m · Admission ticket included
    The funicular has become one of the symbols of Zagreb. It is called "Uspinjača" and it connects the Upper and Lower Town. Time to enjoy the shortest funicular ride in the world!
