(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Zrinjevac
Zrinjevac, officially known as Nikola Šubić Zrinski Square, is one of the most picturesque and historic parks in Zagreb, Croatia. Nestled in the heart of the city, this green oasis is part of the “Green Horseshoe,” a series of parks and squares that shape the city’s landscape. Lined with grand plane trees, vibrant flowerbeds, and classical sculptures, Zrinjevac is a favorite spot for locals and tourists to relax and take in the charm of Zagreb. One of its most intriguing features is the 19th-century meteorological post. Erected in 1884, this post is a unique, cast-iron column providing weather data through instruments that measure temperature, atmospheric pressure, and humidity. Commissioned by the Meteorological Society, it was an advanced addition for its time and has become an enduring symbol of Zrinjevac. The post still stands today, blending history, science, and heritage as it continues to fascinate passersby with its elegant, functional design.
Ban Josip Jelacic Square
Trg bana Josipa Jelačića, is the vibrant, beating heart of Zagreb. Situated at the crossroads of the city's Upper and Lower Towns, this central square is a hub of cultural, social, and commercial life. Named after the 19th-century Croatian national hero Ban Josip Jelačić, the square features an iconic equestrian statue of him, sculpted by Anton Dominik Fernkorn in 1866. Facing south today, the statue symbolizes unity and strength, having been returned to the square in 1990 after being removed during the Yugoslav era. Ban Jelačić Square is surrounded by elegant historic buildings with a blend of architectural styles, from classicism to Art Nouveau, creating a visually captivating panorama. The square is also a focal point for events, public gatherings, and festivals, making it a dynamic space that pulses with life. Cobblestone pathways, bustling trams, and lively cafés add to its atmosphere, inviting visitors to soak in the essence of Zagreb’s culture and history.
Cathedral of Zagreb
Kaptol, a historic core of Zagreb, is best known for the majestic Zagreb Cathedral, officially the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This Gothic marvel, the tallest building in Croatia, with its twin spires, defines the city's skyline and heritage. Originating in the 13th century, it has faced several reconstructions, notably after the 1880 earthquake that reshaped much of its structure. The cathedral's interior enchants visitors with intricate altars, stained glass, and tombs of key Croatian figures. Kaptol, dating back to medieval times, was the center of religious life, home to clergy and bishops. Today, it blends history and vibrance, with cobblestone streets and historic buildings inviting exploration. The entire area stands as a symbol of Zagreb's resilience, merging centuries-old traditions with an active cultural presence. From its timeless architecture to its serene atmosphere, Kaptol offers a compelling window into the heart of Zagreb's past and present.
