Christmas Break in Zagreb

3 NIGHTS/4 DAYS EXPLORATION OF CROATIA'S WINTER WONDERLAND

As the rest of Croatia's tourist destinations slowly descend to sleep, Zagreb awakens with the first signs of winter; the whole city turns into a Winter Wonderland. A proud winner of the „Best Christmas Market in Europe“ title for three years in a row, Zagreb won't disappoint you, for this is the place to be at Christmastime!

The markets open on the last Saturday in November, closing on the first Saturday in January; locally called „Advent in Zagreb“, this festival is a treat for all your senses. Mulled wine and the smell of popular „fritule“ fill the air; choirs sing Christmas songs at every corner, and there are so many concerts happening around the city you'll have difficulty deciding which one to attend.

Youngsters and adults alike enjoy ice skating at King Tomislav Square, a good way of warming up during cold winter days. Endless stalls laden with handmade crafts and local produce stretch all over the city; nearly every building has Christmas lights and decorations. It truly feels like walking through a Christmas fairy tale. If you're lucky and get your tickets early, you might witness one too – by seeing the „Nutcracker“ ballet in the Croatian National Theatre.

We have included a stay at the 5* Hotel Esplanade however we can select any hotel for you to stay at within this package which will then reflect in the price.

Why not also include time in Ljublijana exploring the Christmas markets (only 1.5 hours away) and magic of neighbouring Slovenia, enquire with our travel specialists who can tailor-make a winter wonderland twin-centre Christmas break.
