FAQs for Free Tours

The capital of Croatia’s history dates back to the Medieval times, but the city flourished during the 18th and 19th centuries, so most architectural jewels in the city come from that era. After the outbreak of the First and Second World Wars, Zagreb transformed itself into the colorful tourist destination that travelers love today. One of the best ways to see the highlights and attractions of this charming compact city is by joining the Essential Free Tour of Zagreb. This comprehensive walk will provide you with an insight into Croatian culture, stories about Zagreb history under communism, and the opportunity to see the main landmarks in the city. The tour will focus on the main sights in the old town, around Ban Josip Jelacic Square.

During the best Essential Free Tour of Zagreb, you will cross the only remaining entrance of the city’s old defensive walls, where today stands a very much-loved shrine, the Stone Gate. Crossing this narrow passage, tourists will be able to light a candle, make a wish and listen to interesting legends associated with the area. Strolling along beautiful cobbled streets, guests on the free tour will arrive at the highest-rated highlight of the tour: St. Mark’s Church. Standing next to this stunning church, your guide will explain the meaning of the colorful tiled roof that crowns this structure, one of the oldest in Zagreb. The Gothic portal, richly decorated with niches and statues of apostles, is one of the most valuables in Central Europe.

No free tour around Zagreb’s historical center would be complete without a visit to Zagreb Cathedral. This imposing Gothic building, whose towers rise defiantly into the sky, dominates the urban landscape. After surviving a terrible earthquake and many historical upheavals, the Cathedral is still one of the most photogenic landmarks in the city, so make sure to have your camera ready!
