If you haven’t seen the first article in this series, check it out here: Zagreb, Croatia… The Hidden Gem of the Balkans
In that article, I mentioned my initial thoughts of Zagreb, Croatia, and listed the first three must-see sights in Zagreb.
What follows are the other four sights that you must visit if you’re in Zagreb.
#4 Dolac Farmers Market
Before going to Zagreb, my research kept turning up this huge farmers’ market. Yes, it’s impressive and massive, and right there off the main square.
But since I’m not a “foodie,” I couldn’t appreciate the thousands of fresh fruits and vegetables being sold there.
But if you like to cook, you’ll love this place.
#5 “360 Zagreb”
This is the view from a sort of coffee shop/bar/lounge called 360 Zagreb.
It’s on the 16th Floor of a skyscraper right there on Ilica Street on Ban Jelačić square. As stated in the previous article, Ban Jelačić square is the main center square in Zagreb.
You will see the best views of Zagreb from this lounge 600 feet in the air.
You’ll see that Zagreb is big as hell, and you can also see into the nearby country of Slovenia.
By the way, 600 feet is the height of the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington.
There is no charge, and you can go in very casually dressed or dressed up at night.
#6 Zagreb View and Love Locks
I saw this view online before I went to Zagreb; however, I didn’t know where it was,
Moreover, I wasn’t looking for it when I got there.
I stumbled on it after visiting St. Mark’s Church, the Parliament Building, and the Museum of Broken Relationships.
You’ll see this lookout spot as you walk away from the old town – you can’t miss it.
While the coffee bar 360 Zagreb is much higher and gives you a better view, this spot gives you the best view of the Zagreb Cathedral.
You also get the benefit of seeing hundreds, if not thousands of love locks at this spot.
#7 Museum of Broken Relationships
The Museum of Broken Relationships is one of the most popular attractions in Zagreb, Croatia.
It’s ok; you’re simply reading about people’s sad stories of breakups.
It is right next to St. Mark’s Church and the Parliament building, so you might as well stop in. It cost about $6 USD.
I spent about an hour in there reading the notes I found interesting. You could probably spend 4 hours in there if you read each sad story.
Fun Fact: I think there are other ‘Museums of Broken Relationships” in the world, but the one in Zagreb is probably the only one 30 yards away from a fence full of love locks.
Summary:
Along with the first article, Zagreb, Croatia… The Hidden Gem of the Balkans, these are the seven (7) tourist sites I think you should check out if you go to Zagreb, Croatia.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to go to any other Museums, but there are many in Zagreb that I’ll check out when I return.
If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments.
