Lorvo was an amazing guide for this trip. I really liked that. He explained the itinerary for the trip as soon as we met, so I knew what to expect. His pace was perfect, so that I got to enjoy being in nature, and enjoy the beauty of the mountain. The meal was great, and definitely well-deserved after the hike. I was really glad that he had hiking poles for me to use, as they made the hike easier to navigate the sometimes challenging terrain.

Of course, Zagreb is worth visiting, as the Croatian capital offers a lot of attractions and a great vibe.
Zagreb is a walkable city, and the Old Town is located on hills, so some climbing is involved.
You have to go up the hill to see the Old Town or Nature Park Medvednica. Zagreb was created by merging two settlements on two small hills at the foot of Medvednica Mountain. These fortified medieval settlements, each on its hill, are now the Medieval Part of the Old Town. If something is on a hill, you will have to climb to see it. So, hiking is the best way to see the Old Town and Medvednica Mountain.
You can visit popular places and attractions in Zagreb in a half day, but staying in Zagreb for a few more days would be great. This way, you can see historical places, try local dishes, and visit Medvencia Mountain Nature Park.
Zagreb is located at the foot of Medvednica Mountain, which you can see north of the city. Vital for the city’s development and survival through the centuries, the Mountain is today a Nature Park. Also, this is the most visited mountain in Croatia, where World Ski Cup races are held and World Rally Championship cars roam. When it isn’t in the spotlight, the mountain is where all Zagrebers escape from the city rush. Just to mention, you rarely see a nature park within the city limits of a capital city.
Kaptol and Gradec are historical hills located in Zagreb’s center. For centuries, they were two separate municipalities, unified in the 19th century, forming the city of Zagreb. Kaptol is where Zagreb Cathedral is, while on Gradec, you may find the Croatian Parlament. Kaptol and Gradec are the two last hills of Medvednica mountain before the plains of the Sava River take over the landscape. Remains of the medieval fortification and buildings are still visible on both hills.
The things that make Zagreb Unique are the Old town, traditional food, Medvednica Mountain, and peculiar tales.
Zagreb Hike Urban Explorer Quest is the easiest hike from the Zagreb Hike selection. This sightseeing tour covers all the essential places in Zagreb’s time and space. It involves walking around six kilometers in the city center on the medieval hills, visiting museums, and finishing the quest at a local restaurant. This quest roams in the city center, while other Zagreb Hike tours go to the Medvednica Mountain.
All Zagreb Hike narrators speak English.
Strukli, mlinci, Zagreb schnitzel, and apple strudel are the most recognizable Zagreb dishes. Strukli is a cottage cheese-filled sweet or savory pastry cooked or baked. It can be served as an appetizer or dessert and has enough calories for a main dish. Mlinci is local pasta served with roasted duck or turkey. Zagreb schnitzel is rolled cordon bleu-like veal filled with ham and cheese. For dessert, there is always apple strudel, lately served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Zagreb is famous for its Old Town landmarks, traditional local food, Medvednica Mountain Nature Park, and fun city vibe.
Zagreb Hike & Taste has included a three-course meal. On these tours, you will visit local restaurants and taste local dishes.
The best half day trip from Zagreb would be to visit Medvednica Mountain Nature Park. Technically, the mountain is within city limits, but you will need more than a few hours to see the TV tower viewpoint, caves, mines, and the Medvedgrad Fortress.
Unusual things for young adults to do in Zagreb would be to take the cable car and visit Medvenica Mountain Nature Park. This Nature Park is within the city limits and offers stunning views, beautiful nature, and excellent food.
