I never thought of visiting because it looks like any big city to me but you two do a good job of convincing me. The open air local markets really get me.

The Dolac Market was amazing either way so many vendors! Zagreb really surprised us 😍

Zagreb is quite large city but not in a way as huge ones like Paris, London, Berlin... It is very walkable city and it has great public transport (trams, trains and buses). It has only about 780.000 inhabitants (1.1 mill in wider metro area) but it is one of the greenest and most relaxed capitals of Europe, with large number of interesting parks including the largest and oldest public park - Maksimir that is a must. Zagreb also has two wonderful artificial lakes - Jarun and Bundek, also over 900 meters high mountain Medvednica with stunning nature and protected nature park where you can come by car, bus or by the amazing cable car ride! Zagreb is also city of amazing architecture ranging from medieval times, throughout 17th, 18th and 19th century, grand buildings like Croatian national Opera, St. Marks church, Zagreb cathedral, National archives stunning Art nouveau building, ...large number of high quality museums including some more recent quirky ones (Museum of broken relationships, Museum of hangovers, illusions...). It also has it's medieval castle at hillside - Medvedgrad. But city also has vibrant culture with very friendly locals, night life, international festivals (for instance world renowned INmusic - festival of indie and rock music, Zagreb bienale classical music festival, Zagreb Dox...).

update...fire happened,half the city burned and picture of Virgin Mary was intact though it was in the middle of fire. stone gate were southern entrance to the city. chains which connect pillars near stone gate are anchor chains from ship Bounty.not many even my fellow citizens know that. there are more such interesting stories behind landmarks and monuments you missed the real landmark....Lotršćak tower which you can go into(4 euro cost) it is marking midday since 1877 with canon fire. cathedral was heavily damage during huge earthquake 3y ago. estimated damage to the city 18 billion euros. it will take decades to rebuild everything. those are štrukli for tourists, not the real deal. Zagreb is second greenest europan capital. and you have seen just a very small part of it. you would need a week stay in Zagreb to visit everything cool and important here but overall a very nice video and what i liked the most,you learned to pronounce names correctly. most of visitors and vlogers butcher them

nice blog, Ficlek is a great choice for Zagreb cousine. I recommend the upper town for a night stroll (romantic, gas laps and very little people), go to the top of the Grič tower and park Bele

The Art Pavilion and the Mimara Museums and the Zagreb Cathedral are all closed and I already made my reservations from March 27th through April, I am taking 2 day trips , Ljubljana, Lake Bled, and the Plitvice Lake Waterfalls , but disappointed about the 2 Museums and the most beautiful cathedral, is there another Museum where I can see Painting's, and can I go in St Marks church

@LaurenJason 9 ай бұрын

We understand the disappointment! Pretty much everything was closed and that’s such a shame because we would have loved to go inside as well. As for St Marks, it wasn’t open when we went but it didn’t seem to be undergoing renovations. We believe it is open during Mass.

Many places are temporary closed as s consequence of two very large earthquakes that shook Zagreb and central Croatia back in 2020. So many buildings of cultural importance, cathedral and some museums are under thorough restauration and reconstruction. But that doesn't mean Zagreb hasn't many other sites and attractions to offer since this is very interesting capital that is must.

@tomislavb5760 6 ай бұрын

The cathedral as well as many buildings was heavily damaged in 2020 when Zagreb had a magnitude 6 earthquake.

@melarch.5424 8 ай бұрын

The cathedral is not 1000 years old, it was built in 1880's after the original was destroyed in 1880 earthquake.

@LaurenJason 8 ай бұрын

We are referring to the original build which was started building around the 1090s but yes it was indeed reconstructed in 1880 (the parts that were destroyed).

@conniedean3787 9 ай бұрын

Can you go into the Art Pavilion

@LaurenJason 9 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, it’s temporarily closed for the time being but hopefully they’ll open it up soon one day!

Nope it was under major reconstruction, the main structural work is just finished, now the interiors etc, probably smewhere spring next year. Zagreb suffered a major earthquaqe some three years ago, bit more even, so a lot of the older buildings are being restored in a major way, not just restored but enhanced structurally to be earthquaqe resilient, so it goes slow, but it is worth it, but a lot of museums and galeries are not open yet, some are that are finished but not all. The schools and hospitals were first, but yeah tha natural history museum just opened few weeks ago, also ethnographic museum, i think modern art gallery and archeological museum too, but not sure, but many are not open yet, also the parliament just started with renewal, churches are also not the priority as such, not a government property either, but yeah, in few years it will be even more beautiful, but for now you have a lot of buildings under scaffolding unfortunatelly.
