Scenic Journey to Zagreb

Board your bus for a scenic drive to the Croatian mainland and the vibrant capital city, Zagreb. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a knowledgeable local guide who will take you on an exciting exploration of the city’s highlights.

Discovering the Heart of Zagreb

The walking tour begins in the city center, where you’ll visit Kaptol, located near the majestic Cathedral—the largest in Croatia. Stroll through Dolac Market, the bustling heart of local commerce, before arriving at Tkalciceva Street, known for its lively bars and restaurants. As you ascend to Gradec, you'll encounter the historic Stone Gate, once the main entrance to this medieval town and now a small sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin Mary. At the top of the climb, marvel at St. Mark's Church, renowned for its colorful roof adorned with the coats of arms of Zagreb and the medieval Kingdom of Croatia. Your tour continues past the Museum of Naive Art and St. Catherine's Church, leading to the iconic Lotršcak Tower, where a famous cannon signals noon each day.

Leisure and Return

Experience a ride on one of the world's shortest funiculars, which connects the Upper and Lower Town. Enjoy a stroll along Ilica, Zagreb's main shopping street, stretching over 6 km, and visit the charming Flower Market. No trip to Zagreb would be complete without stopping at Ban Josip Jelacic Main Square, a central landmark bustling with life. After some free time to explore on your own, rejoin your guide for a walk back to the bus for your return journey to Rijeka.
