Colourful Zagreb – Dolac market and restaurants in the historic centre

"For a wooded escape within city limits, take the tram a few stops east of Ban Jelačić Square and meander around Maksimir, the oldest public park in Zagreb. Opened back in 1794, it’s almost as big as Manhattan’s Central Park, and elegantly landscaped in the English style. Stroll around the five lakes (don’t jump in, as swimming is prohibited), tour the historic pavilions, and visit the small but sweet Zagreb Zoo. The park gets jam-packed on warm weekends, but it’s large enough that you can still get lost in its woodsy wilds no matter the crowds."

This park will reset your being. So much natural beauty to take in. Zoo was great and worth the price, also celebrating 100 years . Directly off public transportation and easy to navigate. I only have Balboa Park in San Diego and Discovery Park in Seattle to compare to and Park Maksimir blows them both out of the water. It was so refreshing to see families and people of all ages and walks of life enjoying such a magical place in the middle of a city.

Beautiful park in Zagreb easily accessible with the tram from the city center. Visit the zoo, rent a boat, or enjoy one of the multiple coffee shops and restaurants located in the park. Discover both the city park and the forestry area near the back for a relaxing break from the city.

A green escape in Zagreb Although Zagreb as a city didn’t quite capture my heart, I have to admit its green areas are wonderful. I really enjoyed a morning run in Park Maksimir — peaceful, spacious, and full of fresh air. A perfect spot to recharge.

Park Maksimir is a peaceful escape from the city, surrounded by nature and perfect for long walks. It’s well connected to the city center and very popular with locals and families. The park has playgrounds, free toilets, and a calm, relaxing atmosphere—ideal for a day outdoors.

Great news place for a walk in the shade on a hot day. An oasis near the city centre it’s possible to roam for hours exploring the paths and lakes. Great to see the wild terrapins sunbathing. Enough cafes around to keep refreshed

Very pleasantly surprised to visit this huge green space near the city impressed by glorious historical background. We have good time strolling through the garden taking a leisurely walk. There is something for everyone here. We also like the lake and was happy to many ducks in there too

One of the first open city parks in Europe of this scale. Large area with lots of beautifully constructed sceneries, eg. five lakes. Also lots exaples of forest biotopes.
