For Fun Experience: From May to September

To have the most fun in Zagreb, visit during the summertime. This is when the city is at its finest, with music festivals and other cultural events being in focus. You can also use the opportunity to make a day trip to one of Croatia’s summer resorts for a great time at the beach. Keep in mind that this is also the time when there are a lot of tourists, and accommodation can be hard to come by.

For Laid Back Experience: From October to November and from March to April  

Tourists that want to have a laid-back experience in Zagreb and explore the city properly should visit during the fall or spring. The weather is perfect for sightseeing; not too hot to wear you down and not too cold that you have to worry about extra layers of clothes.

For Affordable Experience: From December to February

If you want to see Zagreb on a budget, make sure to visit during winter. This is when the accommodation is cheap, and the prices of other services usually drop due to the lack of tourists. However, there is plenty of fun to be had in Zagreb in winter, like Christmas markets, food tours, and museum visits.

Zagreb Cathedral

This magnificent Roman Catholic church is Zagreb’s most recognizable tourist landmark, but its history has been plagued by war and natural disasters. It was originally built in the 13th century and went through several reconstructions over the centuries before being restored to its former glory.

Mirogoj Cemetery

The final resting place of many notable Croatians also happens to be one of the city’s most picturesque spots. Built by Hermann Bollé in the Gothic style during the late 19th century, Mirogoj is hailed as one of the largest and the most beautiful cemeteries in Europe.                                    

Ban Jelačić Square

You couldn’t miss this spot in Zagreb even if you tried because it’s the city’s central square. It features buildings that belong to different styles, ranging from classicism to secession, and some of them happen to be the oldest still standing in all of Zagreb, dating back to the 18th century.

Read Away

This isn’t one of the museums you can simply skim through without paying full attention to each item on display. Make sure to carefully read each of the stories they’re accompanied with – it doesn’t take a lot of time and it’s definitely worth it.

Bring Tissues

Visiting this museum can be a truly cathartic, but also an emotional and heartbreaking experience. All of the stories you’ll read are deeply human and extremely relatable, and some of them will wrack your heart.

Stick Around

You shouldn’t leave the Museum of Broken Relationships right after you’re done going through all the items. Writing down your own story, browsing through a store, or grabbing a drink at the museum café is also an option.

This unique place features rooms full of objects collected by people with hangovers. The aftermath of a drunken night is not a joke, but it can still get pretty hilarious. The museum holds things like abandoned wedding dresses, random receipts, and everything in between.

There are also a few interactive exhibitions that allow you to try beer goggles or to share your hangover stories. A gift shop offers many booze-related souvenirs you can take home. As the person behind this quirky museum, Rino Dubokovic, says, its purpose is not to glorify drinking, but to save fun stories of time spent with friends. The museum’s plans for the future include warnings of over-drinking.

Its Unique Museums

Zagreb is the home of several museums, including your standard museums of science and natural history. It also contains several that are a little more out of the ordinary. For example, if you head to the city center you can visit the Museum of Broken Relationships, which contains objects of failed love affairs from around the world. You can also check out the 80’s museum which is an intact house from the 80s with a twist. Instead of demanding you ‘do not touch’ the exhibits, you are invited to interact with everything and can even try on the clothes! The Museum of Illusions is also fabulously unique and a fun way to spend the afternoon.

Its Thriving Street Art

Zagreb artistic and creative personality can be observed on the surface via its vibrant street art. You can visit the Tesla mural which celebrates the achievements of the inventor born in Croatia, as well as several other colorful murals around the city.

It’s Close to Plitvice Lakes

The Plitvice Lakes make up a stunning national park which you simply must visit if you are in Croatia. With clear blue lakes and impressive waterfalls, the lakes are definitely one of the best natural spots you can visit in Europe. It’s also only a two-hour bus ride from Zagreb.

It’s Cheap!

There are currently 0.13 Croatian Kunas to the Euro. This means that you can eat out and dine in for quite cheap. The public tram from the city bus station to the city centre is only the equivalent of 50 cents if you buy on board.

The People

The locals in Zagreb are friendly and welcoming of tourists. Crime in Zagreb is relatively low and it is one of the safest cities to visit if you are a solo, female traveller.
