Budget Zagreb can still feel luxurious
Zagreb’s best experiences aren’t expensive: walks, parks, viewpoints, and the city’s café rhythm. A budget trip can still feel beautifully designed.
High-value, low-cost wins
- Do the city on foot: Upper Town + Lower Town parks give you a full experience for free.
- Use markets for snacks and casual lunches.
- Pick one paid museum you’ll remember (and spend the rest on coffee and dinner).
- Choose accommodation near a tram line for flexibility.
Two-day budget plan
- Day 1: Market + Upper Town + parks + casual dinner.
- Day 2: One museum + Maksimir or Jarun + sunset walk.
