10 Things to do in Zagreb, Croatia Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Our travels in Croatia brought us to Zagreb known for its lively street markets, vast green spaces, and varied architecture that spans numerous movements, we reached the capital and hit the ground running. In this video we’re going to show you some fun things to do in Zagreb, as well as share our favourite place for sampling the most delicious truffle dishes:
From the main square you have the Flower Market, and if you head up the steps, that leads to Zagreb’s Central Market.
Zagreb Cathedral is one the city’s main landmarks. This is the largest sacral building in the Gothic style southeast of the Alps, and it’s pretty easy to spot the spires wherever you are in the city.
Our walk through the Upper Town eventually lead us to Tkalčićeva. These days you’ll find a lively street lined with restaurants, cafes and bars.
We reached what may be the most memorable museum in the whole world: The Museum of Broken Relationships. The museum is a global crowd-sourced project that deals with heartbreak. Inside you’ll find curious objects with a corresponding story.
St. Mark’s Church bears the medieval coat of arms of Croatia, Dalmatia and Slavonia on the left-hand side, and the emblem of Zagreb on the right.
To enjoy city views of the Lower Town there are some great vantage points along the promenade.
On our way down from the Upper Town, we walked through Zagreb’s famed Stone Gate. Once the eastern gate into the medieval settlement now houses a small chapel.
Let’s take a break from all the sightseeing to introduce you to one of our favourite restaurants in Zagreb when it comes to truffle dishes
And craving more views of the city, we then went up Zagreb 360.
Known as the Green Horseshoe, this park was named after Milan Lenuci who came up with the idea of creating connected green spaces right in the downtown. The horseshoe is home to several museums, galleries and archives.
If you’re into hockey and you visit Zagreb during the season, you can catch a game in the city. We watched Medveščak Zagreb play.
And that’s it for our visit to Zagreb! We hope you enjoyed this travel guide and that you got a few ideas of things to see, eat and do on your own visit.
This is part of our Travel in Croatia video series showcasing Croatian food, Croatian culture and Croatian cuisine.

Thank you! Great to hear about your experience.
How can anyone dislike their videos? Audrey and Sam do all travellers a huge service! Much thanks!
Thank you very much Jens!
I live in Zagreb and i agree that it is beautiful
That is cool to hear.
ZTVARNO?! COOOOOOL
Zagreb u ❤️ ! Dobrodošli ! ❤️🇭🇷🤗
I traveled Zagreb.
Zagreb is very beautiful city.
Cool to hear! Yeah, it sure is and so easy to walk around :)
cat44수집사와 고양이들 Zagreb perfect recommendation
What about restaurant job over there can you have any idea?
시골고양이 it is the second biggest city of yugoslavia
I’m from Zagreb
Cool to hear Niki!
What a beautiful city and so cheap
Your videos are among the few things that keep my Wanderlust at bay between trips. I didn't know Zagreb is that beautiful, though I'm not surprised because Croatia is one of my favorite holiday spots.
Thank you very much! Where would you like to go next? We ended up really enjoying Zagreb. It didn't feel overcrowded, the architecture was cool and lots of green spaces. Oh and the food was incredible.
The next big dream are the Azore Islands... however, this year I'll settle for a couple of shorter trips close to home. (fortunately, Croatian food isn't too hard to come by here in Austria :) )
That is great to hear!
I went there back in June and it was amazing
That is really cool to hear!
I'll be in Zagreb next week and Im so glad that I stumbled upon your video. Its so great and informative 👍👍👍
Thanks Robert! Hope you have a great visit.
I enjoyed this video very much.
Thank you for sharing your ideas and tips.
Thank you!
I live in Croatia and I can say that this is a very good tour about Zagreb
Thank you!
I'm from Zagreb and I appreciate you and this video.Thank you for the wonderful tour of Zagreb.
I love the French, but the crepes are definitely more Croatian and Slavic then French. They're made all the way from Croatia to Russia, all the sudden Napoleon comes by and says they're French and of course everyone calls them French... wtf
Beautiful city. Loves your video.
Thank you! It is really cool.
Great as always you two ... a class act
Thank you very much :)
Outstanding and well done as usual. Your cinema & graphics/sound production skills, outstanding on-screen persona, and overall production efforts & quality do not go unnoticed.
Thank you very much! That really means a lot to us because we've tried to improve in that area this year :)
Watching this video, as well as the videos for Hungary and Poland. These videos will give me some ideas as to where to go, and what to do. As always, very informative videos.
Great to hear! Wishing you a wonderful trip!! 😊
Great video, as always, stay safe blessed couple.
Thank you very much!
Going to Zagreb in two weeks and I watched this video a few times, hearing Audrey's voice and this music it's relaxes me!
Thank you! That is exciting to hear. Hope you have a fantastic trip.
When you are here, socialize! People like to chat and we have zero fear of strangers. We are very curious and chatty people. Enjoy 👋
Again....so interesting and amazing. I will be spending time with Google looking up more history.
Thank you! We enjoyed Zagreb more than we thought we would :)
I live near Split and wasn't that often in Zagreb....so it is quite nice to see videos like this :)
You two seem really cool. Hope you had a great time in my country.
Thank you! We had a great time visiting Croatia and we recently got to visit Split and Dubrovnik. We'll have videos about that coming out in a couple of months.
Beautiful video,would love to go to the museum's,cathedral,eat the food.Looks like a amazing place to spend time.😀🇨🇦
Thanks! It is a charming city and not overwhelmingly big either :)
Just found your Internet Channel. We re going on a Croatia road trip tomorrow. Your videos are awesome. Great stuff. Cheers Tom
Thanks Thomas!
Love Zagreb
Great to hear Sandy!
that's not crepes with nutella, that's palačinka with eurocrem - definitely croatian ;)
Thanks for letting us know.
Eurokrem is Serbian, Linolada is Croatian.
Nice city, thanks a lot for posting.
Thanks! We ate so well there.
Absolutely love your videos and the details offered! Please name the restaurants also in the description. x
Thank you very much! We ate at Fotic. Highly recommend it :)
I haven't been in Zagreb since we left Croatia in 1995 and moved to Canada, but will be returning for a visit within next couple of years. I just wish to thank you for your capture of your travels throughout the area where I lived. Footage is amazing, the camera you use really captures everything in HD, and you explain everything really well. It is nice to see you guys care. Cheers and happy travels! (PS> The coast, in the summer time.... place to BE! Have lots of fond memories there).
Thank you very much! That is exciting to hear you'll be revisiting again soon.
Amazing! 😊
Thank you!
Going to Zagreb in August excited af
Hope you have an awesome trip!
I just love your videos. You two are so likable and cute, and very informative. I'm from Zagreb, and I had no idea about that restaurant :D I'll have to go now! Even though you visited some great places, there is still so much to see: the Croatian national theater and the Croatian State Archives which is, for me, probably one of the most beautiful buildings in Zagreb....there is so much to see in this small city.
Thank you very much! Please check out that restaurant and let us know what you think. I agree with you about the architecture. We also love how pedestrian friendly and green the city is. We really enjoyed visiting.
great list; you might add mountain Medvednica hiking and lakes Jarun and Bundek for recreation
Thank you! Appreciate the suggestions.
that cap with the Bratislava Hockey Club logo "Slovan Bratislava" got me :-) Great video ... :-)
Thanks Alena! It was so fun going to a game.
Thanks for the info guys. Greetings from Zagreb. Filming my own video here this afternoon.
Thanks Gabriel! Very cool to hear. All the best and hope you enjoy Zagreb.
Zagreb seems nice thanks for the informative vlog thumbs up from me
Thank you very much HK!
Love it💗
Thank you!
Im a croat!!!!
Cool
so cute guys
Nice! You mentioned almost everthing worth visiting in Zagreb! About the coast - if you're planing to go island hopping be prepared that it's out of the season so many ferry connections are not available... (on the island od Rab is a great Christmas market!)
Thank you! That is a great tip! We noticed that as well.
Loved the video of the male statue fountain holding I don’t know what. Sam looks like you like to wear hats I do it sometimes long travels and have take it off to enter another country and hate losing that comfort of taking it off after a long travel.
Thank you! Yeah, I've been wearing my hat a lot lately ;)
Wish I can teleport there right now!
I HEAR YOU!
Ima ovdje ljudi iz Zagreba zato što ima ovdje
12:22 Adidas tracksuit. Slavic country alright.
Please try to mention the general dates of your visits. I can see the fall leaves but is it September or October in Zagreb?
Tako ljepo i da ja znam hrvatski
Beautiful video of the city Are you there now is it cold there ???
Thank you! No, we visited earlier in autumn. It must be quite a bit colder now.
its sunny but -2 celsius degrees today ✌
The art museum
Im from croatia
Very cool to hear!
I argue that this is not a crepe, this is palacinke.
THanks for letting us know.
Werder - Vardar - Verde. Colours of FK Olimpia Ljubljana and no Pie of mine.
Hi. Thank you for the video. I have a couple of questions. I don’t think I caught the name of the Restaurant where they plated the truffle risotto at the table? Also, do you still have the link to the airbnb you stayed in? I would like to see the exact location of it as well as look at others close by as you seemed to be in a perfect location to see all the sights you showed in the video. Was it far from the airport? What kind of public transportation is available?
Currently visiting Zagreb and noticed your message. It's about 10-15min from the airport. It is truffle season in September I guess, so I've noticed most restaurants have at least one dish on their menu with truffles. I had ravioli truffle last night, so good! There are taxi's buzzing around town and a blue train/trolley that runs all over downtown. Havent had any issues speaking English here and the locals are very welcoming. Great city to visit!
Thank you so much for the reply. We ended up going to Dubai instead. The travel time worked better with our schedules. I’ll keep your suggestions in mind for future travel. Thanks again!!
And I’m back!! Croatia is back on the list as there was an error fare and I booked it for March!! Very excited!! What else would you recommend there? Did you venture out of Croatia at all? I know Istanbul and Montenegro are fairly close right?
I've been to Croatia and it is soooooo beautiful. And I do plan on living there some day.
That is great to hear Taylor!
Where is the street art place with the weird statue ?
Agram, schöne alte österreichische Stadt.
I think its time for Sam to raffle his polo to the subscribers
Yeah, and I'm looking forward to a perfect christmas gift.....:-)
Hahaha...be careful what you ask for ;)
Hahaha
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos Haha, answering my request is enough for me 😀
so, you guys did all of this in just one day ? how many days do you recomend to spend there? at least to see the things you saw :)
Thanks! We filmed it over 2 days. It could be a weekend destination but more time is a bonus.
Agreed, I spent 2 full days in Zagreb and seen all the same sights mentioned in the video. Everything is within 10-15min. walking.
I live in Zagreb and I haven’t been in some of these places
Cool to hear! Anywhere you'd suggest people check out that we didn't cover?
ITZ NRDZ žalosno
How many days are enough in Zagreb?
wow!!! I uploaded the Christmas market in Zagreb, Croatia. The picture quality is not as good as you.
That is really cool to hear! The Christmas Markets must be impressive!
Wow, thanks for taking the comments from these cooool couples. The link below is the “2018 Zagreb Christmas Market” I made. Merry Christmas!

That is cool to hear!
The dude should donate his hat to the museum of broken relationships... when the time comes.
hahaha
Those "crepes" are actually VERY Croatian! We call them palačinke and most European countries have their own versions. I grew up having them with jam and ricotta.
Thanks for letting us know! They are delicious!
What are the restaurants names?
guys....for your subscribers....about my hometown....this will be long...hahahaha...
tkalčićeva street 100y ago was red light district.
st.mark church is from 13th century and idk if you have noticed,audry when you were filming the church you were in front of Banski dvori(government) and on that side of the church,lets say left of the main gate,there are markings on the floor....legens say that Matija Gubec,a leader of peasant revolt against slavery,1573 was egzecuted in that spot.the markings are of his chair where he was crownd with blazed crown and cut in four pieces....
another thing you didnt see in zagreb is Lotrščak.it is a tower,originaly called Tower at Dverce(dverce is western gate to the upper town,stone gate is eastern)tower useto had a bell that rang in case of theft....nowdays it has a cannon.a cannon fire is marking noon since 1.1.1899. and it didnt fired only twice.
on the end of the video,a guy on the horseback is King Tomislav,first Croatian king crowned 925 a.d.....and we were kingdom until 1918.so almost 1000y.
the Lenuzzi horseshue is made from three squares and King Tomislav`s square is the last.
at the stone gate if you have noticed chains conecting pillars....these chains are ancor chains from Bounty....yes the Bounty....and there is also one more thing that many my felloy citizens dont know....at 2pm every day the lesser bell from cathedral rings comemorating Battle at Sisak 22 june 1593 when every bell in Kingdom of croatia rang when our army finaly defited ottman army and freed the homeland after 300 y fighting!from that day forward that bell is ringing every day in ¸14.00h
and for the end Zagreb is 38km long and 22km wide,total area 642km2.1990. it had 1750km2 and it was big as new york.today zagreb is most populated city in croatia and it is second largest city after Gospić
Thank you very much for sharing that! The information is incredible.
one more thing....you all know what Zeppelin is....airship...it was invented in Zagreb by David Svarc and first flew right from Lenuzzi horsshue.and pen is also invented here,laundry detergent,hot water bottle....etc....
Tkalčićeva pronunciation was very good for a foreigner! Hope you had great time in Zagreb, but you missed some of the greatest things :/
Thank you! What do you recommend we check out the next time we visit.
Thats the old zagreb emblem
Oh, thanks for letting us know!
Is it a problem being a English speaker in Croatia in general?
No, in tourism related activities you can speak English.
These are not crepes. We call them palacinke and even in Vienna saying like we do but they writig in another way. Enyway you pronounced Tkalciceva street very well.
Thank you for letting us know!
I'm from Zagreb lol
So many other things to see than 5mn in the truffle restaurant lol
14:06 sorry to say Medvešćak bancrupted and they no longer exist. Some bad people managed the club.
So sorry to hear about that. Hopefully another team will come back to the city in the future.
Zagreb has come a long way over the last 18 years. If it wasn't for the war for independence and that global economic meltdown of 2009, which was brutal for Croatia and lasted all the way to 2014, much of Zagreb's old town would have been completely renovated like in Ljubljana. Slovenia didn't have to go through a whole devastating war like Croatia did. Slovenia's economy was left in tact, while Croatia's was completely decimated. But the country has come a long way since the end of the war in 1995 and especially since 2000 when Croatia transferred power from a wartime government to one that was focused on taking Croatia the EU and NATO. If it wasn't for the war, today Croatia would be 2-3 times as wealthy as it is today (Wealthier than Slovenia is of Croatia today) and would have joined the EU and NATO at the same time as Slovenia. The financial gap between Croatia and Slovenia is getting smaller, thanks to Croatia's thriving tourism and IT Sectors. czcams.com/video/WIui_7ArZSU/video.html - czcams.com/video/XvjvYzzBh-k/video.html - Rimac Automobili is the world leader in EV technology, ahead of Tesla Motors. This startup will one day be involved in many other sectors other than just automotive and will one day be as big as APPLE. Take 10 minutes and Google Rimac Automobili, Rimac, Concept One, and Rimac CTWO, search youtube as well. This startup shows which direction Croatia is going economically. There is also a communication technology startup called infobip which will in short order have annual revenues in the billions of dollars. czcams.com/video/frrIk1xuJUU/video.html These are just two of the most successful startups in Croatia. Slovenia doesn't have any startups that have reached this high level of innovation and international success. They have a company called Pipistrel but that company was around when it was still Yugoslavia and is not considered a startup....but either way the company can't compare to Rimac :)
If you check Slovenia's statistical office website www.stat.si/StatWeb/en/News/Index/7194 the average Slovenian gross monthly salary was EUR 1,756.95. for November of 2017, which is only about 300 EUROS more than in Croatia but it is claimed as much more on other websites such as Wikipedia ....someone is inflating numbers LOL Those Slovenes can be really competitive LOL But the reality is that the Ljubljana stock exchanged was acquired recently by The Zagreb Stock Exchange as was virtually their entire food and retail sector( Droga Kolinska and Mercator)...while Croatia was officially still in recession. I apologize for the lecture on your youtube video, but Slovenians act like they are so superior to Croats...Mainly due to the false impression of success due to not going through a war like Croatia did. But reality is slowly creeping up to them and it wont take long until Croatia overtakes Slovenia economically.My instincts are usually right :)
100
Thanks.
Go to Serbia, they would love to see you.
Thank you!
Do they accept Euros in Zagreb????

Not really 😀 I'm Italian 🇮🇹 I'm gonna visit Croatia in June. I find these videos inspiring and fun.
Sta bi ja jednu Hrvaticu sada..... da oseti žar Srpstva. Barem eto za mir ako nista drugo...
I love your videos, but too much exaggeration about food in terms of just how good it is but no fun history or facts about why how for what prices are there sold etc.
Thanks for the feedback. We'll try to highlight more useful info in the future.
11 Dislayks-11 poor serbs! Hahahaha
