Jarun, in a sentence

Jarun is where Zagreb feels open and summer‑light: a place for movement, long sunsets, and relaxed evenings by the water.

What to do

  • Walk or jog a lakeside loop.
  • Come for golden hour and stay through sunset.
  • Pair it with a casual dinner or a low-key bar night.

When to go

  • Late afternoon → sunset is the sweet spot.
  • Summer evenings are the most lively; weekday sunsets can be calmer.
