Highlights
- The Cathedral that sits on Kaptol in Zagreb is a Roman Catholic establishment and happens to be Croatia’s tallest building, as well as an impressive sacral structure of Gothic style found southeast of the Alps. It is devoted to the Assumption of Mary, along with kings Saint Stephen and Saint Ladislaus. Displaying typical Gothic features, including its high-value architectural sacristy, the cathedral’s towering spires are recognized as landmarks that can be seen from most areas of the city.
- The Stone Gate or Kamenita Vrata is a significant landmark in Zagreb’s Upper Town. Originating in the 13th century, it assumed its current style in the 18th century. The area experienced a fire centuries ago where a not destroyed portrait of Mary was discovered among the debris. This picture was put up on the wall and has since been a prayer spot for many. They would affix a plaque on the wall as gratitude if their prayers got answered.
- Zagreb’s Upper Town, also known as Gornji Grad, is a labyrinth of tiny, winding streets spanning between two hills: Kaptol and Gradec. It’s the oldest part of Zagreb, established in the 11th century, and has buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries. The Upper Town is a charming area offering some of Zagreb’s most significant museums, restaurants, bars, and cafes.
- The Lotrščak Tower stands in Zagreb, Croatia, in an old area known as Gradec or Gornji grad (Upper Town). The fortified tower, which hails from the 13th century, served as the guard tower to the southern gate of the Gradec town wall. The Latin term ‘campana latrunculorum,’ translating to ‘thieves’ bell,’ gave the tower its name, indicating a bell installed in 1646 to mark the closing time of the town gates.

Epic food tour! - Amazing guide, he took us to a few places to try different dishes and wines. He was very knowledgeable and answered all sorts of questions!
He also talked about the history of the area, which was interesting to hear about.
I would highly recommend this as you don’t just experience food, but really get into Croatian culture as well!

Great way to experience the city - We had a fantastic walking food tour with Dino! He was a very nice and knowledgeable guide. We had 4 restaurant stops including a modern bar with wine/cheese, two restaurants with drinks and mains (contained red meat), and one with wine and traditional Croatian dessert. For those who don't have a lot of time to spend in Zagreb, this is a great way to see the main sights and also experience a variety of restaurants, drinks and cuisine.

Wonderful evening in Zagreb - Antonio was outstanding. We ended up as the only two people on the tour, but Antonio was enthusiastic and took us to 4 different cafes and eateries for small plates and glasses of wine and one brandy. All were very good. Along the way, Antonio provided history, legend and trivia. He shared stories of growing up in Zagreb and sightseeing elsewhere in Croatia. He shared an album of Croation currency for the past 100+ years. Our tour was over 3 hours and Antonio was on point and enthusiastic the entire time. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Don’t think twice, book this tour! - I was not expecting to like this tour so much! The food and the drinks were excellent. Each restaurant was wonderful and the walking tour as well. I enjoyed getting to know more about the city, the country and the food. Dino made it very interesting and entertaining. Definitely a great way to spend an evening. I especially loved the beautiful place where we had the dessert.
