Zagreb's Christmas Charm: Winter Wonders Walk
Overview of the tour in Zagreb
Experience Zagreb during its most festive season with a tour that reveals the city’s cherished Christmas customs and winter tales. Start in the city’s lively, decorated squares, then stroll through historic streets as we uncover traditions that have warmed Zagreb for generations. From Saint Nicholas’ mischievous companion, Krampus, to old winter superstitions, discover the customs locals hold close to. A quick funicular ride takes us up to the old town, where we’ll explore early decorations used before the Christmas tree became popular and visit the enchanting Grič Tunnel, transformed into a cozy winter wonderland.
Along the way, hear about Zagreb’s holiday treats, like spicy sausages and gingerbread hearts, and perhaps sample a warm rakija or mulled wine set to the sounds of music. See lively markets and festive bars on side streets and feel the blend of tradition and celebration that fills every corner. This tour invites you to experience Zagreb’s unique holiday spirit, where history and tradition mix with the warmth of the season.
It's not just a tour but a journey through festive customs, full of fun and surprising smells of local food. Feel the Christmas spirit in Zagreb!
