Let’s get some Instagram-worthy Zagreb pictures…
Ilica Street
Ilica is the longest street in Zagreb and it’s the perfect shopping destination. Stroll down this street and you’ll see the countless number of Instagram-worthy spots. After you collect enough, take a break in one of the many cafes in Ilica and do some people-watching.

Oktogon
While strolling further down Ilica to Ban Jelačić Square, take a turn to the right and walk through the passageway connecting Ilica and the Floral Square called Oktogon. Stop right in the middle of the passage, look up and take a photo of its magnificent glass roof.

Zagreb Eye
If you like a good panoramic photo climb up to the observation deck Zagreb 360°, also in Ilica street and enjoy the views over the whole city.
Zrinjevac Park
Not far from the main Zagreb square there is one magnificent park – Zrinjevac park. It’s one of the best places to relax and gets very picturesque in the summer when there are various DJ parties happening there and, in the winter, when it’s Christmas time and everything is decorated so nicely.

Tkalčićeva Street
If you love those streets full of charming little cafes in colourful houses head to Tkalčićeva street – you’ll love it. That’s where you’ll find pubs with craft beer and amazing homemade dishes.

Zagreb Cathedral
Every European city has its main cathedral and so does Zagreb, and it’s really good looking one. Its twin towers are a must on every serious Instagram feed. The inside of it looks even more beautiful and is so picturesque with its statues, paintings, and inscriptions in a Slavic script.

Strossmayer’s Promenade
Strossmayer’s, in the Upper Town, is the most romantic promenade in the city of Zagreb, and it gets pretty exciting in the summer. It runs along the remains of Zagreb’s medieval defence wall and you can get to it by a funicular or stairs. We recommend funicular, it’s an interesting experience, even though it’s a short ride.

Lotrščak Tower
While you’re in the Upper Town, check out the Lotrščak Tower. Get up there at noon when the Grič cannon fires as a sign for the bell-ringers of the churches around the city. Check out our Cultural Places App – there is a Lotrščak tower guide that will tell you more about this place.

St. Mark’s Church
Go a bit more uphill and find St. Mark’s church – one of the oldest buildings in Zagreb, dating back to the 13th century. Take a photo of its magnificent roof with colourful tiles.
Maksimir Park
Even though this place isn’t in the walking distance it is worth exploring – just hop on the right tram. Maksimir is the oldest park in Zagreb, you’ll enjoy the shades of hundred-year-old oak forests. You’ll love it – it’s so calm and peaceful and everything is green.

Hopefully, you’ll enjoy these picturesque Zagreb spots as much as we did. But keep in mind that Zagreb itself is very Instagrammable and you’ll probably find more amazing places by yourself. If you do so, let us know what places amazed you the most.
