FAQs for Free Tours
The capital of Croatia is located in the country’s northwest and is the focal point of the country’s culture. Zagreb’s history dates back to Medieval times, but the city reached its full architectural splendor during the 18th and 19th-centuries. Join one of the Free Walking Tours in Zagreb and delve into the hidden depths of this charming city with the help of a knowledgeable local guide. One of the best ways to see the highlights and attractions is by joining the Essential Zagreb City Tour. This experience has been designed by local guides passionate about their city, and the walk will provide you with an insight into Croatian culture, stories about Zagreb’s history, and the opportunity to see the main landmarks in the city. In addition, there are Croatian Gastronomy Free Tours and Zagreb Night Free Tours that you can take advantage of.
Most Free Tours in Zagreb will take you for a walk around Ban Josip Jelacic Square, the capital's favorite meeting place. From there, your guide will lead you through the main landmarks of the old town. Cross the only remaining entrance of Zagreb’s old defensive walls, where today stands a very much-loved shrine, the Stone Gate. Nearby, you can find Zagreb’s oldest pharmacy, in business since 1355! With the help of your guide, you will understand the meaning of the colorful tiled roof that crowns the Church of St. Mark, one of the oldest buildings in Zagreb. After joining Zagreb Free Walking Tours, we recommend visiting the Archaeological Museum as well as the charming Dolac Market. The first one introduces you to Zagreb's remote past, the second is a great place to learn about (and taste!) Croatia’s delicious cuisine.
Things to Do in Zagreb
Do you want to enjoy a perfect day in Zagreb? Spend the morning on Tkalciceva Street. In the past, a river used to flow through this avenue, separating the city into different areas. Today, cafés, bars, traditional shops, and many other wonderful boutiques have their doors open for you. Take an afternoon or evening stroll around the charming Strossmayer Promenade. This unique 19th-century walkway runs along the remains of Zagreb’s medieval walls and provides panoramic views over the city shaded by lush trees. And do not forget to visit some of the sites that are just outside of the center, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Mirogoj Cemetery (which is regarded as one of the most beautiful cemeteries in Europe) and the huge Maksimir Park, the perfect place to explore and retreat from the city.
