The experience

Three hours takes you through Zagreb's core on foot, starting at Ban Jelačić Square where the city's most famous statue stands. Your guide walks you past Tkalčićeva Street (once the center of 19th-century brothels, now lined with cafes), and up to the Stone Gate, part of the old defensive wall with a chapel inside dedicated to the city's patron saint. You'll see St Mark's Square and its 13th-century Romanesque church, ride the world's shortest funicular railway, and pass the Lotrščak Tower, where a cannon has fired at noon every day for over a century.

The route includes Dolac Market, Zagreb's main open-air farmers' market where locals buy food daily, and the Zagreb Cathedral, the largest Neo-Gothic sacred building southeast of the Alps. A licensed guide in your chosen language walks the whole route and explains the history woven into each street and building, from medieval fortifications to the city's role in Croatian independence.

After the walking portion, you head to Bornstein Wine Bar and taste Croatian wines in its 200-year-old vaulted cellar. The tasting happens underground, in the original stone chambers beneath the city. A funicular ticket is included in the price, and the tour suits all fitness levels, though you'll be on your feet for most of the three hours.
