Why spring is a sweet spot

Spring is one of the easiest times to visit Zagreb: comfortable walking days, lively terraces, and parks that make the city feel extra green.

Festival of Lights (plan your evenings)

If your dates align, the Festival of Lights is an ideal “evening plan”: walk, pause, take photos, and finish with a long dinner.

A perfect spring day (template)

  1. Morning: parks loop + coffee terrace.
  2. Afternoon: museum + relaxed lunch.
  3. Evening: Upper Town dusk walk + festival lights (when available).
