The 9 Best Archaeology Tours in Zagreb, Central Croatia

February 22, 2022 Fernanda Pittenger

Zagreb got its start as two medieval fortress towns atop hills overlooking the Sava River, and was reborn in the Baroque period as center of business, perfectly located on routes connecting Central Europe to the Adriatic Sea. These days, Zagreb is the heart of contemporary Croatia’s culture, art, sports, and academics, but its history is not forgotten. The unique blend of medieval towers, 19th century palaces, open-air markets, and ancient cathedrals, make Zagreb the perfect city to explore.

Loved it! Velenje Underground is quite an unusual experience. Having a fancy dinner 160 m below surface, combined with some artistic performance / music is really something »out of the box«. The idea behind this project was to elevate tourism in Velenje to a higher level, namely to create a memorable, 5 star experience for turists. This goes hand in hand with the vision of the tourist destination Slovenia… Slovenia as a green boutique global destination for high-end visitors seeking diverse and active experiences, peace, and personal benefits. A destination of five-star experiences.

7. The Best Of Zagreb Walking Tour

Ban Jelačić Square, Trg bana Josipa Jelačića, 10000, Zagreb, Croatia Fun Top Fun Lithuania

Are you ready to discover Zagreb from old town to a modern area? The best is to start from Ban Jelačić square and follow tower Lotrščak, which is filled with sidewalk cafes and boutique shops. Pay attention to Kaptol- Zagreb Cathedral- 11th-century architectural grandeur, assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is Zagreb landmark and the tallest building in all of Croatia. If you are in love with Gothic-style sacral architecture, a walk through this cathedral is a divine experience. Like moving through the time- renaissance walls, Dolac fruit and vegetable market, the bloody bridge, the famous Stone Gate (Kamenita Vrata), the ruins of archways and walls of the Stone Gate connects the travelers to the medieval history of the city. One of the important Zagreb points of interest is the tower Lotrščak. Built-in the 13th-century, it offers a 360-degree view of the Zagreb city from the top. Moreover, it has conducted a ceremony every day for the last hundred years. How nice is that?
