What You’ll Experience

Ban Jelačić Square (Pass By)

Our food tour will start at the central square of the city of Zagreb. While the square's official name is Ban Jelačić Square, locals call it Jelačić plac. It is located right below the old city cores called Kaptol and Gradec. In the 17th century the square was called Harmica, and it was used as a marketplace for the entire town. Today it's the heart of the city and most of the major events in Zagreb happen at Ban Jelačić Square.

European Square (Pass By)

After a very brief walk we will arrive at the European square. The square is overlooked by the cathedral and it often hosts outdoor events, such as craft markets and DJ sets. At the square you will be able to view a miniature model of the city of Zagreb, with all its major locations and streets.

We will continue our walk to the Dolac Market, a farmers market that has been one of the most visited locations in the entire city since 1930.

The gates truly create a serene atmosphere for all visitors who pass through.

Cathedral of Zagreb (Pass By)

The next stop on our journey will be the Zagreb Cathedral. It is a Roman Catholic church that is the second tallest building in Croatia.

The cathedral also has a treasury that houses various important religious documents and items.

The Bloody Bridge is an infamous street that will lead us to the final restaurant of the day.

The food was excellent, but Damjan, the guide, was exemplary. Funny, knowledgeable, engaging. Would have been worth the trip even without the really delicious food and drink.
