Why autumn works so well

Autumn is Zagreb at its most comfortable: long walks, golden parks, and a calmer pace that makes the city feel more local.

Autumn highlights

  • Maksimir for color + long walks.
  • Upper Town evenings (soft light, quiet streets).
  • Museum + café days when the weather turns.

A perfect autumn day

  1. Morning: coffee + Upper Town loop.
  2. Afternoon: museum + parks reset.
  3. Evening: dinner + night walk.
