Why it’s worth considering

Mimara is one of the big “collection museums” in central Zagreb — a good option when you want a classic indoor museum day in the Lower Town.

Because museum openings and renovation schedules can change, treat this as a “check first” visit: confirm current hours and access on official channels.

How to combine it with a great Lower Town day

  1. Mimara → HNK area walk-by → Horseshoe parks loop → coffee → dinner.

Tips (avoid a “museum marathon” day)

  • Pick one major museum and pair it with parks — Zagreb is better balanced.
  • If the weather is good, do the Horseshoe walk before dinner for golden-hour calm.
  • If it’s raining hard, pair with cafés and keep walking minimal.
