Lower Town

Lower Town is Zagreb’s busy city center, and Ban Josip Jelačić Square its buzzing heart, with crowds gathering for concerts, sporting events, and festivals. Designer shops fill the glass-roofed Oktogon gallery, while the Grič Tunnel is a WWII bomb shelter with occasional art exhibitions in its winding passageways. Vendors at the open-air Dolac Market sell homemade jams and pickles, plus farm produce and handicrafts.
