Zagreb’s Christmas season shines with two wonderful market experiences that I’ve found particularly worthwhile.
The guided walking Christmas market tour is perfect for food lovers, offering local treats and wines while exploring decorated market stalls. My favorite option is the Christmas walking tour, which smartly combines Zagreb’s historic sites – including the magnificent Cathedral and Lotršćak Tower – with seasonal charm.
The tower access is a real bonus, providing stunning winter views across the city.
Both tours handle groups efficiently and accommodate dietary restrictions, but what makes them special is how they reveal Zagreb’s authentic holiday spirit without feeling touristy.
I especially appreciate their blend of cultural insights and festive atmosphere.
