Today we're in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia! We love this city and can't wait to show you around.
The first stop is the main square, Trg Bana Josipa Jelacica, named after ban Josip Jelacic, who was a Croatian army general in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 19th century. He really fought for Croatian independence in the Empire, and he's an important figure in Croatian history.
Just to the east of the statue is Mandusevac, a legendary fountain that is said to be the reason that Zagreb its name. Apparently there was a tired soldier on the way back from battle, and asked a girl named "Manda" to scoop him (zagrabiti) some water from the spring, where the fountain now stands. So Zagreb came from zagrabiti.
Next we visited Dolac Market in Zagreb. It's the biggest and most popular open market in the city and it's great for buying anything from fruits and vegetables, to fish, nuts, dairy products and more. It was first opened in 1930.
At the top of the stairs, sits "Kumica Barica" which is the statue of the lady, representing all of the vendors that have sold at the market all these years.
Tkalciceva was our next stop. It's my favorite street in all of Zagreb. It's lined on both sides with many different cafes. It has a great vibe, lots of energy and is typically filled with people hanging out with friends, sipping coffee.
We walked through the Stone Gate to get to the upper town. The Kamenita Vrata was built in 1266 and is a holy place of worship for many residents of Zagreb. There was a devastating fire that happened in 1731, and everything burned, except for a painting of the Virgin Mary, so it's seen as a sort of miracle, and people come to light a candle and say a prayer.
St. Mark's Square is in the upper town, and has St. Mark's Church right in the middle. The church is most famous for it's colorful tiles on the roof. There are two coat of arms on the roof, one representing the city of Zagreb, and the other representing the Kingdom of Zagreb, Slavonia and Dalmatia. Here on the square, there are also the parliament and government buildings.
The Museum of Broken Relationships can also be found in the upper town. It's a very interesting museum filled with little mementos of relationships that have broken in some way. Each memento has a story, and you can read about each one.
The Lotrscak Tower is just steps away from the museum. It typically fires a cannon every day at noon, and residents used to set their watches according to the cannon each day. There is also a great view point from the top of the tower, looking all out over the city.
Next, we took the funicular down to the lower town. It's the shortest one in the world, at just 66m long. A quick, but convenient (and fun) ride if you're in Zagreb.
Ilica Street is the next place we visited. It's line with shops and is one of the most popular streets in Zagreb. The trams also run along the street, and it's a great place to wander through the city.
The Drazen Petrovic Museum and Memorial Center was another place we visited. Drazen was one of Croatia's best basketball players, and played in the NBA. He really opened the door for other European players. Unfortunately, his career and life were cut short, when he tragically died in a car accident at just 28 years old. He's one of Croatia's most favorite sports legends, and many children look up to him as their role model.
King Tomislav Square was the last top on our tour of Zagreb. King Tomislav was the first Croatian King, so his statue sits on the square, just in front of the main train station. Behind the statue is Tomislavac, the beautiful park where you can picnic and relax in some greenery right in the center of town.
We hope you enjoyed the video and you visit Zagreb one day soon!

I almost dropped a tear... From your intonation and joy when speaking about Zagreb, it is clear that you share the same compassion and love as we Croats do towards our city... I can't describe to you how much all of this that you are doing fulfills my heart and soul. Keep up the good work, you will always be one of us!!!

I have been blessed to visit Croatia twice and cannot wait to return. Before I first arrived I was so focused on the coastal cities (Split, Dubrovnik, Zadar) that I didn't give Zagreb proper credit - until I was there and took in all the city has to offer. Such a great city, thank you for the video!

My bro worked in Karlovac as a pharmacy student from U of T. I applied for my Croatian citizenship. The art, culture, food, history, religion, and Adriatic sea warms my heart ❤️ It is home away from home. Thank you, Hvala for sharing your experiences ☺️ It actually brought a tear to my eye! I miss Croatia so much! We might just move back. I’m living vicariously thru you until we visit again 🇭🇷 Thx, Hvala again! I subscribed.

Born in Zagreb,, I live 5 years in Canada. Move back to Zagreb 2015. ❤️
This video hit me right in the nostalgia. Born in Zagreb, now living in the United States, I remember visiting many of the places you mentioned. Especially Glavni Kolodvor and Trg Kralja Tomislava. My father was a locomotive engineer (strojovođa) before we left in '86 so we got to spend a lot of time at that station. Plus we got to take the train to Kumanovo a couple times a year to visit my grandparents. Thank you for that stroll down memory lane.
I was born and raised in Zagreb and don’t think I could do this short tour any better. Thank you for this.

I LOVE your videos! I like your comments, your observations and the fact that you have embraced Croatian culture and language. Your command of the language is perfect and your pronunciation is, well, almost perfect, I detect a very slight accent. I am an American Croatian, living in Los Angeles, coming to Zagreb this Christmas, so looking forward to it. I have one tiny complaint, really tiny. In this video, you mention Tkalciceva ulica and you pronounce it Takalciceva, once. I couldn't help but notice it. Otherwise, all your videos are great. We also have something in common, I LOVE Bajadera! I'm writing on my wife's laptop, I am Joe Hoynik. Maybe I'll bump into you guys in the next few weeks.

There are lots of shops in Zagreb like Oxford in London. There are few malls: City Centar One (East), City Centar one (West), Arena Centar, Avenue mall, Westgate, and Importane. (I don't reccomend going there because my dad is saying that there is stinky, dirty and it's a small mall. We almost stuck in an yellow elevator there. I either believed that that was an earthquake because of the shaking when we came to the garage floor. We have lots of things in Zagreb, lots of parks, lots of cultures, and much more! I hope you are having a great time here at Zagreb and Croatia.
