Zagrebation – old Zagreb free walking tour
Hi guys, welcome to Zagreb, welcome to Croatia! My name is Hrvoje and I am an addict, a travel addict who turned out to become a tour guide as well. In 2015 I got bored of 9-5 routine so I decided to quit my banking job and I went traveling in South America where I ended up staying for more than 3 years. As I was traveling on a pretty tight budget, after a year of wandering all around the continet, my money was running out, so the Universe decided to send me to San Pedro de Atacama, a small, but super turistic town in the middle of Chilean Atacama desert where I happened to start working as a local tour guide. After a couple of years of guiding tours around the desert and the Andes mountain, life brought me back to Croatia where I became a licensed tour guide for Zagreb city and Zagreb County. Anyways, if you would like to get to know my city in a fun and relaxed way let me know and we'll share some good vibes together. I look forward to meeting you.

Zagrebation – old Zagreb free walking tour
Our meeting point is at King Tomislav's square (Trg Kralja Tomislava) right next to the statue dedicated to the first Croatian king.
From there we'll carry on through the park area also known as the Green horseshoe all the way to the main square (Trg Bana Josipa Jelačića) which is the place to be if you wanna celebrate another great success of Croatian athletes or maybe your last day of high school education by jumping in the Manduševac fountain.
After chatting about the main square we'll say goodbye to the Lower town for a while and climb to the Upper town where Zagreb's birthplace area will be waiting for us.
Over there we'll get to know better the two medieval towns Kaptol and Gradec out of whom Zagreb was originally conceived. This zone is the never-ending source of urban legends, religious and political discussions, love and war stories, and of course is the place of nice pubs, restauranats, museums and famous city landmarks like the Cathedral, Stone Gate, St.Marc's church, Radićeva and Tkalčićeva streets and so on.
At the end, we'll come back to the Lower town and say good by to each other at the main square.
Hope to see you soon! :)
Hrvoje, your Zagreb guru guide
