Tour description

Explore Zagreb’s past on my Architecture, Art & History + Inside the Cathedral Walking Tour. 
 

We will start by stepping inside the magnificent Zagreb Cathedral. It is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks — soaring Gothic architecture, beautiful stained glass, and centuries of history all in one breathtaking space. We will take a few moments to explore, learn the stories behind its reconstruction and treasures, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. 

On our tour we will dive into Zagreb's rich history and explore the city's fascinating architecture, including the hidden Nazi-era tunnel beneath the city. Along the way, we will talk about Yugoslav communist ideology, the Ottoman threat, and peasants’ revolts, as well as the masters of Croatian naive art. 

We will uncover stories of legendary figures such as Nikola Tesla, the brilliant inventor and scientist; Alexander Karađorđević, the authoritarian Serbian king whose despotic rule shook Yugoslavia to its core; and Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I, the austere and determined Habsburg emperor whose long reign was marked by power struggles, empire-building, and a rigid devotion to tradition. 

Join me to experience Zagreb in a way you will never forget.
