ITINERARY

In the morning meet your Tour guide/driver at hotel’s lobby. Drive through Dolenjska region in Slovenia towards Zagreb, Croatia’s capital city. Zagreb is a trendy city that has roots in Central European urban culture, enriched by Mediterranean and Balkan traditions. It is also a city of green parks and walks.
Upon arrival to Zagreb, you will have an escorted city walk and see vibrant parts of the capital of Croatia; start at Zagreb’s central square ‘Trg Jelacica’, take the shortest city funicular in the world to reach Upper town where you can enjoy the views over Zagreb Lower town, stop at ‘Lotrscak Tower’ where a cannon is fired every day at noon, optional visit of rewarded Museum of broken relationships (an innovative concept that displays mementos of failed relationships and the stories that surround them) and/or Gallery of Naive Art, take a picture of Zagreb’s most photographed multi-colored tile roof of St Mark’s church, pass Parliament ‘Sabor’ and presidential palace ‘Ban’s palace’, stop to see people praying in front of the shrine of Virgin Mary at Stone Gate, walk on Tkalciceva street filled with little cafes that could only be described as ‘bohemian’, visit fruit and vegetable market at ‘Dolac’, enter Cathedral of the Assumption of Blessed Virgin Mary whose spires are visible from afar and complete the circle. After city walk you will have approximately 3 hours of free time to explore on your own. Suggestions and pointers will be given to you by your guide: take a walk at Esplanade park, enter some of the many museums, buy flowers at flower market, have lunch in numerous restaurants and taverns, shop your way around the city and enjoy yourself.
Optional Extended version of Zagreb in a day: Add something different to this day – a visit to the ethno village of Kumrovec, birth place of former Yugoslavian president, communist leader, marshal Tito. You will visit Tito’s childhood village, now an open air museum, and learn about Tito and lifestyle in the countryside in the past. In extended version approximate return to Ljubljana will be at 7:30 pm.
