Ban Josip Jelačić Square is the heart of Zagreb and the city's main meeting point. Surrounded by historic buildings and cafés, it's the perfect place to start exploring. From here, you can easily reach many of the city's main attractions on foot.
Zrinjevac Park is a peaceful green space, located just a short walk from the main square. Lined with trees and fountains, it's perfect for a relaxing break. In the summer, it often hosts music events and outdoor exhibitions.
St. Mark's Church is one of Zagreb's most iconic landmarks, famous for its colorful tiled roof. Located in the historic Upper Town, it's a great spot to soak in the city's history.
Upper Town (Gornji Grad) sits on the hill above the city and is full of cool streets, little squares and old buildings. You can get there easily with funicular, a short cable ride from the Lower Town (Tomićeva Street). At noon, the cannon at Lotrščak Tower fires, a tradition that's been marking the time for centuries. Take a walk along Strossmayerovo šetalište and enjoy the view over Zagreb.
Maksimir Park is a large, green park located near the city center, with lakes and open spaces. It's perfect for a walk or a picnic and it also has Zagreb ZOO.
