After successfully hosting the Advent in Zagreb event last winter, this beautiful location is now turning to summer, and the Tourist Board is planning an even richer and more diverse program this year.

However, Mirogoj is also a beautiful park and an outdoor art gallery. The arcades are the most beautiful part of the cemetery the construction bega in 179, only three years after Mirogoj was opened, and they were completed thirty eight years later. Mirogoj is the resting place of many famous Croats and the complex also contains a number of valuable monuments made by prominent Croatian artists. THURSDAY / 1 MAY / 2017

9 MUST SEE 1 CHURCHES AND BUILDINGS 2 TOWN'S STORIES AND LEGENDS St. Mark's Church The picturesque St. Mark's Church is one of the oldest buildings in Zagreb and one of its symbols, distinctive for its roof made of multicolor roof tiles. The church has existed since the 13th century, but it famous roof is much younger it was installed during its most recent reconstruction in the second half of the 19th STONE GATE THURSDAY / 1 MAY / 2017 As one of the best preserved monuments of old Zagreb, this is the only remaining gate of the former city defense system. It was built in the 13th century and given its present design in The pas- century. The roof features emblems of the Croatian regions of Dalmatia and Slavonia on the left side, and the Zagreb City emblem on the right side. There are three altars in the interior, sculpted by Ivan Meštrovićm, and Kljaković's sacristy painted from the floor to the ceiling. Organ concerts often take place here. sageway within the gate contains a chapel with a picture of St. Mary of the Stone Gate, the city guardian, which according to a legend survived a major fire in 1731 without any damage. 9

10 DISCOVER BEST OF Zagreb Cathedral FUNICULAR The funicular provides organized public transport of passengers to the upper part of Zagreb. It connects the Downtown and the Old Town every working day and on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from 6.30am to 10pm and has to this day retained its original exterior design and structure, as well as most of the technical characteristics given to it by its builders in 190 when it was opened. It leaves every ten minutes and the price of one ride is HRK 4. Compared to other cable cars intended for public transport, its track of only 66 meters makes it the shortest one in the world. The Cathedral of the Assumption of Blessed Virgin May, Saint Stephen and Saint Ladislaus, or the Zagreb Cathedral is the largest Croatian sacral building and one of the most valuable monuments of the Croatian cultural heritage. The church has stood in the same location since 1093 and the construction of the present building began in the 13th century. The last major reconstruction was made at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, while the towers are still being reconstructed in stages. The church is open for tourists, may be entered at any time of the day, and a mass in Croatian is held several times a day. ART PAVILION The history of the Art Pavilion is in a way the history of the Croatian 20th century fine arts. This is one of the oldest exhibition areas in this part of Europe, spe- 10 cifically designed for major exhibitions. It is situated between the Central Railway Station and Zrinjevac, in the very heart of Lenuci s Green Horseshoe. THURSDAY / 1 MAY / 2017

11 LOCALS ABOUT Z AGR E B IRIS IDL (60), employee at the Archives I WOULD RECOMMEND THE OLD TOWN, ST. MARK S CHURCH, THE STONE GATES, AND THE SURROUNDING STREETS AND ALLEYS. THE OLD TOWN HAS A SOUL. Croatian National Theater The neo-baroque Croatian National Theater building, a masterpiece of late historicism designed by the Austrian architect Ferdinand Fell- ner and German architect Hermann Helmer, is certainly one of the most impressive buildings in Zagreb. Opened in 195 and seating 750 people, it has one iron curtain and seven painted curtains displayed on different formal occasions. Theatre goers can enjoy drama, opera or ballet there. ACO NIKOLIĆ (63), security guard St. Catherine s Church LOTRŠĆAK The tower was built in mid-13th century to protect the south city gate and has been used throughout history as living quarters, a warehouse, a coffee shop Tourists can enjoy a spectacular view of the city from the top of the tower, visit an exhibition or buy some local products in the souvenir shop. The Grič Canon is on the fourth floor, and it greets the residents of Zagreb every day precisely at noon. THURSDAY / 1 MAY / 2017 St. Catherine s Church is the most famous Croatian baroque church. It is located on Katarina Zrinska Square, erected as part of a former Jesuit complex in Zagreb Old Town. It was built from 1620 to 1632 and its six side chapels contain five baroque altars dating back to the 17th century, and a marble altar from "TECHNICAL MUSEUM IS ONE OF THE PLACES TO SEE. I HAVE PASSED BY THE MUSEUM A HUNDRED TIMES, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE NEVER HAD TIME TO GO IN. MY FRIENDS TELL ME IT IS A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT. DOLAC Hundreds of food producers from Zagreb and its surrounding areas arrive every day at the Dolac marketplace, located only a few steps from the central city square, to sell fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, cheese and cream, flowers Dolac is referred to as the city belly because it has fed the local residents for 5 years. At the top of the stairs there is a sculpture of a traditional producer and seller - kumica. ROKO ŠKILJO (19), student I SUGGEST TOURISTS FIRST COME TO THE MAIN SQUARE, AND THEN EXPLORE THE ENTIRE OLD TOWN. AFTER THAT, THEY SHOULD STOP BY KAVANICA AT CVJETNI TRG FOR A CUP OF COFFEE THIS IS MY FAVOURITE PLACE FOR EXPERIENCING THE VIBRANT ATMOSPHERE OF THE CITY. 11

16 ZAGREB SECRETS HRELIĆ The Biggest Flee Market in Zagreb tip! Hrelić is a flea market with style, where people sell everything you can imagine. The easiest way to reach it is to take a cab or take tram numbers 14 to Zapruđe or 6 to Most Mladosti, and walk a bit next to the causeway Nobody really knows how Hrelic came to be. But shortly after its founding, it turned into one of Zagreb s most legendary sites. On the farthest outskirts of Croatian capital, you can see this large fair of used goods. From clothes to shoes, from vintage items to computer components sold without guarantee, everything can be found on this strange and unique place. Sounds interesting? Then MARKO TODOROV/HANZA MEDIA 16 ant to If you w ld stuff ro sell you arly and e e com ll fee pay sma come with a large bag, sharpen your bargain talents, and indulge into the craziest shopping spree you ever took part in! How to reach Hrelic? The easiest way is to take a cab. The average price from Zagreb s center should be around 50 HRK/6.50. If you have your own vehicle, you will have to pay 10 HRK/1.30 for parking. If you use a tram, take numbers 14 to Zaprude or 6 to Most Mladosti, and walk a bit next to the causeway. Hrelic is organized every Sunday and Wednesday. Coming early in the morning is a good idea (you don t want others to buy all the good stuff ) but coming late has an advantage of huge sales. Be advised, Hrelic is not the cleanest space in the world, but its charm is undeniable. Hrelić is a flea market with style, where people sell absolutely everything you can imagine. No visit comes without at least one purchase. Maybe it will be a vintage hair drier? Or a typewriter waging five kilograms? Maybe your senior relatives will like those old watches? And who knows, if you are a good at bargains, you can end up with ten LPs for the price of one. Don t think of Hrelic as a dirty place (although it is not that clean, to be honest). As a matter of fact, chances are you will meet a lot of influential Croatian people there. Theater and film workers always seek inspiration or props for artistic projects. Musicians are pursuing old instruments in good shape, while literature people seek books and albums for their needs. Stamp collectors are also on duty, as well as collectors of various natures. You don t need to belong in either of these groups to love being on Hrelic, of course. If you end up liking the place, bargain away! THURSDAY / 1 MAY / 2017

17 MARKO TODOROV/HANZA MEDIA BRITANAC Unique antiques in the city center Britanski trg (British Square) in Zagreb is, of course, named after the British and the good relations they had with Croats throughout history. It can easily be reached from the capital s main square, Trg bana Jelacica, by ten minute walk, or by simply taking two stops with a tram. If you choose the latter, get on a 1, 6 or 11 tram heading east. The square is often bypassed by tourist guides, usually because it lacks cultural features such as monuments or statues. However, it is still a charming place which has many things for visitors to enjoy. After all, experiencing a country doesn t necessary mean one has to run around museums and frantically snap photos. Sometimes, a quiet hour on a café terrace watching people passing by, flipping through a magazine with an unpronounceable name or learning small bits of a language from the closest table can be more fulfilling then a constant rush for photo material. British square is also known as Mali Plac ( Little Marketplace ) as it is smaller then Dolac. Yet it is still of considerable size and offers everything needed for a good lunch. During the workweek, Britanac is usually crowded with potatoes, salads, apples, pines and all other things you see at the greengrocers. It opens early in the morning (as a matter of fact, if you pass by it around 6:00 a.m. chances are you will see people prepping veggies on the tables) and closes around 3 pm. Older women, known as kumice, usually sell their own cheese and cream. On Sundays, the vegetables are replaced with antique items available for sale. Old telephones, ancient lamps, interesting books (some even in foreign languages), early 20th-century dolls, medals, uniforms, swords and treasure chests are just a few things you can find in this open-air museum with exhibits on sale. A good place to visit for your own entertainment, and also for buying gifts for friends and family back home. A club of dedicated Citroen owners sometimes organizes an old-timer car exhibition in the evening hours. Not only can you see these classy European machines in their full glory, but you can also talk to the people who own them and ask for mechanical advice or the story behind the charming vehicles.

In the urban life of Zagreb, the residents always wanted to show they were able to keep up with the global culinary trends present in major metropolitan centers in neighboring countries Vienna and Budapest. Women from the villages of Zagorje and Prigorje brought first-class fresh ingredients to marketplaces in Zagreb on a daily basis. This top selection available in Zagreb s marketplaces has spread to all Croatian regions, as it becomes evident in the restaurants all over the city: Dalmatian, Istrian and Slavonian cuisine. They are now an exhibition of Croatian gastro icons. THURSDAY / 1 MAY / 2017

29 ŽELJKO GRGIĆ/EPH DAVOR PONGARČIĆ/EPH ZAGORJE SOUP Croats love soups and make them from all kinds of ingredients. Broths like this Zagorje soup can replace an entire meal. This is no wonder - a real Zagorje soup inevitably contains enough good cured meat, dry and fresh mushrooms, root vegetables, onions, garlic and potatoes, hot paprika, pepper, laurel leaf, wine vinegar and, finally, a spoon of sour cream. LOCALS ABOUT Z AGR E B KRAM POGAČE Pork scratches are not exclusive to Croatia, but nobody is as mad about them as Croats are. The best ones are sold at very high prices. We love pork scratches so much we put them in the basic food product - pogača, the predecessor of bread. Kram pogača is a small pogača seasoned with ground pork scratches and pepper. These small bites are perfectly combined with a glass of wine or beer. PETRA ŠIMUNOVIĆ (21), student IT WOULD BE A PITY NOT TO SEE THE CATHEDRAL. IT IS STUNNING, RICH IN HISTORY AND ALWAYS FULL OF PEOPLE. IT CAN BE SEEN FROM EVERY PART OF THE CITY." This two-piece dairy package has developed into a symbol of authentic culinary heritage. Extremely simple, yet very delicate. This cultstatus duo is only produced from the milk of cows grazing unpolluted pastures, unquestionably fresh fullfat sour cream and carefully drained cheese. Beside fresh bread, you only need a little salt and perhaps some hot paprika. LUKA GRELANĆ/EPH THURSDAY / 1 MAY / 2017 BORIS KOVAČEV/EPH Cottage cheese and cream ŠTRUKLI Štrukli is a favorite coocked or gratinated pastry, a result of the transformation of the German strudel on its way east. Štrukli are commonly mentioned in the context of presenting Croatia to the world. It makes sense: the stuffing consists of cheese and cream. In Esplanade, the most prestigious hotel both in former Yugoslavia and now in Croatia, štrukli has been enjoyed by kings and queens, the most prominent statesmen, and the greatest stars of the film and music industries. TURKEY WITH MLINCI In its native country of America, turkeys are now huge domesticated birds. The Zagorje turkey is the smallest protected species, semi-wild and requiring plenty of outdoor space to survive. This is why its meat it fabulously succulent. It does not require lots of spices, only mlinci, a traditional kind of pasta gratinated on a wood oven and then doused in gravy, as a side dish.

33 tip! The great local wine varieties For as long as these parts have been inhabited, wine has been an inseparable component of both the daily routine and festivities AUTHOR SAŠA ŠPIRANEC Wine is one of the most valuable elements of the Croatian tradition and gastronomic heritage. For as long as these parts have been inhabited, wine has been an inseparable component of both the daily routine and festivities. Over centuries, each Croatian wine region developed its own distinctive wine varieties that fully adapted to the climate, soil and expectations of their residents. When you find yourself in one of the wine regions of Croatia such as Dalmatia, THURSDAY / 1 MAY / 2017 Istria, Hilly Croatia or Slavonia, don t forget to taste some of the wines favorite among the local population. In Dalmatia, it is plavac mali. This is the most important and the most represented red variety in Croatia. It yields soft, ripe and succulent wines when offered in a lower price range and originates from Dalmatian fields situated in ravines hidden in endless karst. On the other hand, when it comes from steep slopes facing the sun and the sea, usually from islands or peninsulas such as Hvar, Brač and Pelješac, it gives powerful, warm, strong and ripe wines, perfectly reflecting the harsh conditions that created them with their richness and concentration. When in Istria, malvazija is the most important variety to try. A white wine full of freshness and pleasant aromas of ripe fruits, such as peaches and hints of blossoming acacias. In addition to this basic edition, malvasia can also be found in more ambitious forms after ageing for a long time and develop- SHUTTERSTOCK tia you a m l a D In plavac must tr y in Istria mali andvazija ma l ing a more complex aromatic set. When in hilly Croatia, look for aromatic white varieties such as sauvignon blanc or Riesling (locally referred to as rajnski rizling). They also use many other varieties to make wine in the region, but what they all have in common are lively acids and a highly refreshing character. The wines of hilly Croatia work ideally as an aperitif, refreshment in summertime, or to go with a light meal. Slavonia and the Danube Region are an empire of graševina, the most important and represented white variety, but also a general type. Graševina is a good-times wine, and is ideal to go with your lunch. It is normally bold and refreshing with attractive aromas of apple, pineapple or citrus, and is offered at very affordable prices. Sometimes, when it comes from later harvests, it shows quite a different face and its aromas. 33
