After we get acquainted at our meeting point, you will find out where the name Zagreb came from. Next I'll talk about the person whose statue adorns the main square.

Not only will we talk about the Cathedral's tumultuous history, but I'll also touch on the Catholic Church and its role in Croatian history.

We'll walk through Zagreb's largest open market, and I'll share a few tips on getting the most out of it like a local.

We'll stop by the statue of Petrica Kerempuh - the folk trickster who inspired this tour. And yes, there will be a live poetry recital.

We'll head to Tkalčićeva Street, where we'll talk about how people of Zagreb actually spend their time and I'll introduce you to Marija Jurić Zagorka, one of Croatia's most beloved writers.

We'll pass through the Stone Gate, the historic entrance to Gradec old town, which has served as everything from a site of witch trials to a beloved pilgrimage spot still active today.

Our next stop is St. Mark's Square, where history and politics collide. I'll cover the iconic church and give you a frank overview of Croatia's current political scene.

We'll head to Lotrščak Tower just in time for the daily cannon fire. Once the smoke clears, we'll take in the best view Zagreb has to offer.

Next is Strossmayer Promenade, a beautiful tree-lined walkway that might just be the most romantic spot in Zagreb.

Next is the statue of A.G. Matoš, where I'll talk about the man himself and share some of his more... memorable quotes.

Next up is a quick ride on one of the shortest funicular lines in the world, with a bit of history thrown in.

While we're walking through Grič Tunnel I'll talk about how and why it was built, and what it's been used for since.

We'll stop at the Bloody Bridge street, where the theme of conflict between neighbours comes into focus — from the medieval clashes between Kaptol and Gradec to Croatia's war with Serbia in the 1990s.

Our last stop is K&K Milčec, a charming local café where your first drink is on me. Before we say goodbye, I'll answer any questions you have and share some restaurant recommendations.
