Our meeting point is at King Tomislav's square (Trg Kralja Tomislava) right next to the statue dedicated to the first Croatian king. 

From there we'll carry on through the park area also known as the Green horseshoe all the way to the main square (Trg Bana Josipa Jelačića) which is the place to be if you wanna celebrate another great success of Croatian athletes or maybe your last day of high school education by jumping in the Manduševac fountain.

After chatting about the main square we'll say goodbye to the Lower town for a while and climb to the Upper town where Zagreb's birthplace area will be waiting for us. 

Over there we'll get to know better the two medieval towns Kaptol and Gradec out of whom Zagreb was originally conceived. This zone is the never-ending source of urban legends, religious and political discussions, love and war stories, and of course is the place of nice pubs, restauranats, museums and famous city landmarks like the Cathedral, Stone Gate, St.Marc's church, Radićeva and Tkalčićeva streets and so on. 

At the end, we'll come back to the Lower town and say good by to each other at the main square. 

Hope to see you soon! 🙂

Our tour starts at Square Ban Jelačić. We continue to Kaptol and the Cathedral. To get to the other part of the old town - Gradec, we will cross Dolac, the main market. Next stop is Tkalčić Street, one of the liveliest streets. Since Gradec was a free royal city for centuries, it had its own wall. The only city gate that is still preserved is the Stone Gate, where the image of the Virgin is kept. We will continue, passing by the oldest pharmacy in the city, to the center of political life => Square St. Mark, where the Parliament, the Constitutional Court and the Government, are located. The square is also significant for the church, unique for its famous roof. Through Ćirilometodska Street, we reach the Saint Katarina Square, where is located baroque Church of St. Katarina, as well as the first Zagreb high school. Our tour of Upper part of Zagreb ends at the Lotrščak tower, from which the cannon Grič marks noon for more than 100 years. Here is also the Funicular, the shortest cable railway in the world intended for public transport. After the funicular we descend back to Ilica, and towards the square, the end of our tour.
