Neighborhood
A 10-minute walk from the apartment takes you down to Kvaternik square, where you can enjoy several coffee shops, restaurants, shopping at Kvaternik Plaza, or grab a tram to get to the city center which is only four tram stops away! A five-minute tram ride to the east takes you to Maksimir, the biggest park in Zagreb where you can enjoy wonderful walks in nature or visit the zoo. Additionally, you have direct tram lines that take you to the central railway station (tram line 4) and the bus station (tram lines 5 and 7). There are also 9 bus lines from Kvaternik square which can take you to different parts of the town, including directly to the airport (bus line 290).
There is a closer bus stop 200 m away from the apartment where you can catch a bus every 25 minutes (bus line 201) which takes you directly to the shopping center Kaptol in the upper town in 10 minutes. If you need a grocery store, there are two within 200m of the apartment.
To do and visit
The apartment is located in a very vibrant neighborhood, near Kvaternik Square, called Kvatrić (Kvatrich). A 10-minute walk from the apartment takes you to the lovely square filled with flower shops, cafes, restaurants and one of the best cakes and pastry shops in Zagreb, Vincek. Just around the corner is the popular local food market with daily fresh fruit, vegetables and other products. For those who like shopping, Kvaternik Plaza is on the east side of the square. Kvatrić is the perfect place to feel the spirit of Zagreb.
Since there are many bus and tram lines passing here, it is also a perfect starting point for visiting some of Zagreb’s most famous sights, such as St. Mark’s Church, the Cathedral, Dolac market, Lotrščak Tower, botanical garden, Maksimir Park or the Lake Jarun, and some of over 20 museums and galleries. Did you know that Zagreb has some of the most unusual museums, such as the Museum of Broken Relationships, Museum of Illusions, Mushroom Museum and Tortureum – Museum of Torture.
You can join several bus tours around the center of the city, or walk tours through the upper city or use the public bike system, Nextbike, to create your own tour. If you are into hiking, you can visit Mt. Medvednica (north of Zagreb) and the famous Medvedgrad castle, or even go to Sljeme, which is the highest peak of Medvednica (for those who would only like to enjoy a great view, you can take a bus ride from the city which takes about 30-40 minutes).
