Upper Town in the Past

Do you feel like you have travelled in a time machine to the past? You are mistaken! Here, in the streets of the Upper Town, right beside you, the main characters from stories written long time ago are still passing by: characters from legends, but also real people. All those ordinary and great men and women who have marked Zagreb’s history.

UPPER TOWN IN THE PAST – Upper Town – 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Due to construction works and scaffolding on Kamenita Street, around St. Mark’s Church, as well as the closure of the Funicular and the western part of Strossmayer Promenade, this year the characters will move in pairs within the area from the Stone Gate – Habdelićeva Street – Jesuit Square – Catherine's Square – Ćiril and Metod Street – St. Mark’s Square (and back) – Dverce – Strossmayer Promenade (eastern part) – Gradec – Catherine's Square.
Depending on circumstances (weather, number of visitors, etc.), the group may descend to Ban Jelačić Square and Zrinjevac Park.
