Overview
This tour is perfect for all visitors who like architecture/art and want to see and hear about the life in Zagreb in the period from the mid of 19th century until WWII.
At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, European and American urban culture gave birth to two stylistic expressions, Art Nouveau and Art Déco. Art Nouveau is recognized by its wavy, natural lines that imitate a flower at the moment of blooming, while Art déco brings cooler symmetry, glamor, and strictness of geometric shapes.
Let’s walk together through the complex of parks and squares called “Green horseshoe” to see the best examples of Art Nouveau and Art Déco styles in Zagreb and to discover how was the life of Zagreb citizens at that time in comparison with a present-day one.
Find out a fountain named "A boy who pees" (Zagreb's Manneken Pis :-)
The tour includes:
Ban Jelačić Square
Oktogon passageway
Flower Square
Masarykova street
Square of the Republic of Croatia
Mažuranić Square
Marulić Square
Botanical Garden
Hotel Esplanade
King Tomislav Square
J.J. Strossmayer Square
Zrinjevac Square
The tour ends on Zrinjevac Square, close to the main city square.
Let's walk, talk, and have fun together :-)
