Green BuzZg

Zagreb is a city incredibly intertwined with nature. Nature is visible in the numerous city parks, in the Lenuci’s Green Horseshoe, Bundek and Jarun Lakes, and in the green areas scattered throughout the city, giving cheerfulness to buildings and asphalt.

This combination of urban area and nature seems to be perfect for easy, casual and detailed exploration, i.e. slow tourism. Don't know how? The locals will show you. They are real experts in achieving that balance between the hustle and bustle of the city and relaxation: they will explore and experience everything, but they will always make sure to take enough time to fully enjoy it.

Zagreb is the capital of Croatia, which means that events never stop here and that, regardless of the season, new concepts and ideas are always being introduced. Here you have the chance to find numerous museums and galleries, restaurants and cafes, concert halls and theaters. Nevertheless, nature will always give you serenity, show you how to appreciate the little things in life, how to slow down the pace and devote yourself to what you do and what you see. Whether you're enjoying the greenery of Maksimir Park or drinking coffee in a cafe by Bundek Lake, make sure to enjoy the view, the atmosphere, and every sensation you're experiencing.

This way you will get a real impression of this city, which is full of greenery and united with nature, but at the same a city with strong modern tendencies.

Dear fellow citizens and visitors,

Due to the consequences of several recent storms that hit our city, for your own safety we ask that you avoid visiting city parks and recreational and sports facilities in Jarun, Bundek, Maksimir, Šalata, Sopot, Hipodrom and Nature Park Medvednica due to the possibility of further breaking of damaged tree branches.

Also, competent authorities kindly ask citizens and visitors to pay special attention to their movements and surroundings, i.e. where they park their vehicles, as there is still a possibility of branches breaking off trees or parts of roofs or plaster falling off buildings and other structures.
