    Advent in Zagreb: A Winter Wonderland in 9 Photos

    By TB

    Advent in Zagreb every year transforms the city into a winter wonderland. The festival is one of the most highly anticipated events of the year and has been voted the best Christmas market in Europe multiple times.

    Key highlights include Christmas Markets with beautifully decorated stalls offering everything from handmade crafts to delicious local treats like the popular 'fritule'. 

    Zrinjevac Park is transformed into a fairytale scene with twinkling lights draped over trees creating a magical atmosphere. Live music performances in the pavilion add to the festive spirit.

    Ice skating is one of the most popular activities at the King Tomislav Square. The open-air rink is surrounded by beautiful decorations, making it a perfect spot for family fun.

    Visitors can walk through the beautifully illuminated Gric Tunnel, which features themed displays and artistic installations that add to the festive atmosphere. Artists create a magical ambiance, making it a must-visit attraction for both locals and tourists.

    Following the tragedy at Precko Elementary School, all the festivities like concerts and live performances got postponed.
