Zagreb mornings are built on pastries
One of the easiest ways to love Zagreb is to start the day with a bakery stop. Keep it simple: pastry first, coffee second, walking route third.
What to try (quick shortlist)
- Burek-style savory pastries (perfect for a walking day).
- Sweet pastries for a slow café pairing.
- Market snacks when you want variety without planning.
