What the festival feels like
For a few nights, Zagreb becomes a walking city of light: projections on facades, installations in streets and parks, and a festive energy that makes the historic center feel brand new.
Best way to experience it
- Eat early → start your walk at dusk → take breaks when you find a cozy spot → finish with a night stroll through the center.
Tips (so you enjoy it)
- Go on a weekday if you can (lighter crowds).
- Wear comfortable shoes — it’s a walking-heavy event.
- Treat it as a loop, not a checklist. The city is the venue.
