Zagreb in the turmoil of war: 1918-1945
Hi, I am Dubravka. And yes, you say it just like Dubrovnik :) I am a fresh and vibrant face in guiding tours, and I am ready to start this journey with you. I am also a pedagogue and a history teacher, working in secondary school for the last 13 years. My strong suits are communication, a positive attitude towards life, and living in the moment - so I want for you only the best memories from my tours.

Tour description
Welcome to the turmoil.
This is a tour with interesting information about the political and social changes happening in Zagreb from 1918 until 1945.
We will discover what events had shifted Croatia closer to fascism during the first half of the 20th century, how life was lived in the 1930s and 1940s, and get to know Partisans - an underground movement against fascism in Zagreb and the surrounding area.
Our walking points will be:
- Ban Josip Jelačić Square (meeting point)
- Petrinjska Street (Stjepan Radić story)
- Park Zrinjevac (Rise of Fascism)
- Massarykova Street (Baković sisters story)
- Croatian National Theatre (Lea Deutsch story)
- Tunel "Grič"
- Radićeva Street/Main Square - end of the tour
If you are interested to know how Croatia navigated through the events of great wars in the 20th century, I invite you to join in!

I booked the tour Zagreb in the turmoil of war and unfortunately I was the only one who came. No one else booked the tour. So dubravka was so nice to give me a "private" tour. I could ask her all the questions I wanted. She was talking about the Yugoslavian war and the second and the first war and the communist era. She tried to connect the different political views and times to give a forecast why things got heated up in the Yugoslavian war. She also answered questions about education in Zagreb. It was very interesting for me and I would recommend the tour anytime.
