Let's go to Zagreb for Christmas!

Dancing all night long to a wonderful music program, a variety of surprises - this is all about Zagreb. Needless to say, there are not just dancing and surprises…

1. Zagreb as the best Christmas market in Europe

Three times in a row it was recognized as such according to the results of an online survey of the best European destinations. These are real votes from real people.

2. Ban Jelačić Square

It gained fame with a huge Christmas tree, where the fountain turns into a light showcase, and a cozy heated indoor greenhouse serves food and drinks. There is live music every day.

3. European Square

This pedestrian area in the heart of the city offers cheerful activities: a market for souvenirs and Christmas decorations, a selection of food and drinks, as well as musical events in the evening.

4. Zrinjevac park

It is one of the most beautiful places in Zagreb. Lanterns illuminate the avenues of trees, and the old music pavilion looks like a small sparkling palace. Artists’ stands and a large selection of traditional Christmas gifts, Christmas food and drinks in decorated tiny wooden huts. This is the place where you can enjoy winter specials from Zagreb, including strukli, warm pastry with soft cheese. One just can’t stand and taste the famous mulled wine, hot chocolate, special Christmas cookies. It is clear that music is everywhere here as well.

5. Ice Park on King Tomislav’s Square

A Christmas tale awaits all of us in one of the most beautiful parks in Zagreb — a skating rink, where we will have positive emotions about food and drinks, as well as musical events. It's a place to watch people ice skating and having fun. It is obvious that we cannot help, but join them.

6. Shopping

Shops in the capital have the majority of international brands.

Many hotels offer special budget deals.

Should we wait for Santa? Why don’t we find him ourselves in the beautiful capital of Croatia? The intoxicating smell of mulled wine, gingerbread and other delights... We will surely forget about everything, enjoying this charm. Events held during the Christmas season in Zagreb will please even the most demanding guests.
