Walking Through Old Zagreb

Step back in time and discover the enchanting secrets of Croatia’s capital on my private guided walking tour of medieval and 19th century Zagreb.

Led by an expert local guide, you will explore the twin medieval hills of Gradec and Kaptol, where history comes alive at every turn. As you wander down gas-lit cobblestone alleyways, you will discover the hidden stories behind the ancient stone walls, mysterious courtyards, and iconic landmarks like the Stone Gate and St. Mark’s Church.

From there, you will transition into the elegant Lower Town, where the city’s grand Habsburg heritage takes center stage. Here, the narrow medieval paths open up to wide, bustling streets and the vibrant greenery of the Green Horseshoe—a magnificent, U-shaped ribbon of beautiful parks, fountains, and stately 19th-century palaces that showcases Zagreb at its most sophisticated.

But this tour is about more than just dates and architecture. 

It is an intimate window into the local way of life and culture. You will see the bustling Dolac market where locals have sourced their fresh ingredients for generations, meet some of the famous people who influenced and shaped not only local, but national history, art, architecture and literature, as well as learn about the centuries-old daily traditions that still shape the city today. You will explore the city through the eyes of a local guide, discover hidden corners, and hear stories and legends you will not find in any guidebook. 

This tour is perfect for first-time visitors, couples, families, friends and solo travellers who want to experience Zagreb just like the people who call it home.
