Lotrščak Tower

Great view of Zagreb from this tower. The entrance fee is 3€ but it’s worth it. You have to go up about 4 floors and some areas are steep but it’s doable. I recommend especially if it’s a good day.

Climbed up around early evening—paid €3 per person, which felt like a steal for the breathtaking 360° panorama of Zagreb. From the top deck you can see the red-tiled rooftops of the Upper Town, the sprawl of the lower city, and the distant hills and mountains framing everything beautifully. The climb is steep and narrow (about three floors of stairs with a small museum of historical photos and cannon exhibits along the way), so it might not be ideal for anyone with serious mobility issues, but the payoff is absolutely worth it. When we visited it wasn’t busy at all—just the right crowd level to soak in the view without jostling—and we spent a good half hour up there taking it all in. Highly recommend as an affordable, unforgettable stop in Zagreb—don’t skip it!

The entry ticket of €6 for the watch tower entrance was totally worth it. The spiral staircase was narrow but well maintained. The steep 116 steps climb was daunting at first but there were two landings. It was a brilliant day the views were spectacular

A very fun and unique experience. The tower fires a cannon every day at noon, and it’s completely free to watch from outside. It’s a good idea to arrive about 10 minutes early to get a nice spot for photos or videos. Just be prepared.. the cannon is very loud! Definitely worth seeing if you’re in the area. ☺️

We climbed the stairs from the busy shopping streets, hustling around after a good lunch — ufff, it took a bit of effort, but the view from Lotrščak Tower made it worth it. Beautiful panoramic look over Zagreb’s rooftops, especially in the afternoon light. We missed the 12 noon cannon shot (heard it’s a daily tradition), but it’s a cool bit of history to catch if you time it right. After soaking in the view, we stopped by a lovely local shop nearby. The whole spot gives a very old-town charm — definitely a must-do while walking through Upper Town!

Just in time for the Gric Cannon at noon time. Great experience , we also entered the tower and climbed all the way to the top for a great view of Zagreb, too bad it seems the whole Zagreb is under renovation for some reason

Had no intention of going but I came across it at sunset. Probably the best view of Zagreb you’ll get, especially at sunset. It was beautiful

This fortified tower was originally erected in the 13th century. Come just before noon to see and hear the cannon shot off from it - a daily tradition since 1877. It was done to tell bellringers when to start ringing, to set clocks and to commemorate a victory over the Ottomans. Warning - it is very loud. You may want to protect your ears. The noise sets off all the pigeons in the city below. There is tourist information inside and for €3 you can climb up the stairs for the view.
