Photograph Zagreb for what it is
Zagreb isn’t about one single landmark shot — it’s about texture: stone streets, leafy parks, café scenes, and the contrast between Upper and Lower Town.
Best light (simple rules)
- Golden hour: Upper Town viewpoints and quiet lanes.
- Overcast: parks and street-life (soft contrast, great mood).
- Night: center streets and squares — lantern light and calm atmosphere.
A 2-hour photo walk
- Start at the center → go up for viewpoints → drift down into parks → finish with street-life scenes.
