Itinerary
Our tour will start at King Tomislav Square. The reason for this is that it is also where the railway station is located, symbolizing travel, arrivals and departures, the merging of cultures, and the beginning of tourism. There, we will start our discussion about table culture, culinary habits, and Croatian dishes. And we will also have something to eat - on the go.
In Petrinjska Street, you will get to know some more Croatian flavors in a snack bar
Zrinjevac is one of the most beautiful parks in Zagreb, reserved for relaxation by the locals. Additionally, it is historically significant as a fairground. There, we will continue our discussion about the flavors of Croatia and prepare for the next snack
Time for something sweet! :)
After that, we will head to Dolac, the famous Zagreb market, where I will introduce you to the 'kumice' (local women sellers) and their products. We will discuss Croatian food customs, shopping habits, and weaknesses.
Then we will pass through Ban Jelačić Square, also known as the main square of Zagreb. We will explain its historical significance, as well as that of Ban Jelačić.
Afterwards, we will head to the most beautiful church in the city, the cathedral. Its majesty will tell us some historical stories and interesting facts
Our next stop will be a tavern dedicated to the Zagreb table, where we will taste specific dishes characteristic of our region, share them and get to know croatian cuisine even better
On our way back to Ban Jelačić Square, we'll stroll through the charming and lively Radićeva Street, which will narrate some stories of Zagreb's pastry-making

About Zagreb
Zagreb is Croatia's capital, a city of two historic towns, cathedral spires, café-lined streets and green parks beneath Mount Medvednica.
Zagreb has two historic halves. The Upper Town, Gornji Grad, sits on a hill with cobbled lanes, the tiled-roof church of St Mark and the Lotrščak Tower, from which a cannon is fired at noon each day. Below, the Lower Town has Austro-Hungarian squares, theatres and museums around Ban Jelačić Square, with the twin neo-Gothic spires of the cathedral just east and a short funicular linking the two parts.
Top-ranked sights in Zagreb: Ban Jelačić Square (Trg Bana Jelačića), Gric Tunnel (Tunel Gric), Dolac Market.
