The countdown has almost ended—on November 30th, the Christmas festivities will take over Zagreb! Are you coming?

As a nickname for Zagreb, Little Vienna was used a lot back in the day. This was primarily because of the architecture in the Lower Town area, which was obviously influenced by Austria, but also because of the peculiar mindset that Zagreb used to be known for.

The Croatian Natural History Museum in Zagreb’s Upper Town is a fascinating blend of history and science, set in a historic palace that once housed the Amadeo Theater. Today, it holds over 2 million specimens—minerals, fossils, plants, and animals—showcasing Croatia's rich natural heritage. Following a recent major renovation, the museum now features 39 halls with interactive and multimedia exhibits, making natural history come alive in fresh, engaging ways.

The first cultural experience of most people born in Zagreb is a visit to the Zagreb Puppet Theatre. That’s one thing we all have in common. Did you visit puppet theaters as a child?

The vibrant capital of Croatia boasts a rich and diverse theater scene that offers something for everyone.

While Zagreb might be known for its vibrant streets, stunning architecture and welcoming people, did you know that Zagreb is, in fact, home to many unusual and unique museums?
