l'Avent à Zagreb

Obišli smo brojne gradove Europe u zadnjih mjesesc i pol dana, i NIGDJE nismo vidjeli bogatiji, ljepši, organiziraniji, ... Advent!!! To me kao Hrvaticu silno veseli, osobito jer se u Zagrebu ponovo osjeća njegova tradicionalna kultura, ukus, sofisticiranost i bogatstvo duhovnim vrijednostima. Vrijedno divljenja i nas domaćih, a pogotovo turista. 

I would highly recommend the city of Zagreb, Croatia to any and all tourists who truly wish to experience the true spirit and energy of the Advent Season. It is an experience which any guests/tourists will never forget.

Einige davon auch für uns selbst. (Lachen)

The kids had a blast!

Highly recommended. Skating around with the beautiful city buildings overlooking is overwhelming.

If you're one that loves your Christmas treats and delicacies, Zagreb is the market for you. It has even been voted the best Christmas market in Europe by European Best Destinations three times in a row. 

If you’re visiting Zagreb over the holiday period then you won’t want to miss the city’s legendary Christmas market, part of a larger annual festival known as Advent in Zagreb. 

Zagreb’s Christmas market ranked No. 3 in the world. And, while the market is surely festive, the nearby SalajLand (just one hour away) awaits excited visitors with five million lights and wooden walkways on which to take the perfect Christmas photo. Explore the charming park as the sky sprinkles soft snowflakes onto the twinkling white ground. Christmas has never been so enchanting

While Croatia’s capital city only officially launched Advent in Zagreb in 2014—making it a relative newcomer to the scene, all things considered—within just a few years’ time, Zagreb has garnered critical acclaim for its annual holiday celebrations, which transform some of the city’s most popular public spaces into a strollable, shoppable, delectable—and definitely Instagram-able—winter wonderland.

Deemed by many as the best Christmas market in Europe for several years, you can find the city of Zagreb light up as soon as December rolls around, filled with Christmas spirit. 

This beautiful market has consistently been voted the best Christmas market in Europe and it isn’t hard to see why.

The Croatian capital is transformed into a Christmas wonderland that stretches across several squares in the city center. The hustle and bustle of the market traditionally begins on the first of Advent with the placing of a huge Advent wreath on Zagreb's main square. 

The city-wide spectacular transforms Croatia’s capital into a festive paradise with more than 25 unique little markets seamlessly linked by lights and tree-lined avenues that turn Zagreb into one joyous mega market. 

If you think European Christmas markets are little more than twee tourist traps selling overpriced trinkets, you haven’t been to Zagreb’s Advent market. It’s a city-wide street party with a civilised buzz that makes everything sparkle and glow. And it wasn’t just the mulled wine, or the rakija, or the hot gin...

No matter where you find yourself in Zagreb — whether it’s ice skating in front of King Tomislav Square or listening to a children’s choir at the main square of Ban Josip Jelačić — wooden kiosks offering hand-held local food and drink are just steps away, offering a culinary crash course. (Plus, there’s no better way to stay warm than with a full, happy belly.) 

Visitors to the capital, Zagreb, will find a city in full throes of Advent and Christmas spirit in December, with wooden stalls selling handcrafted souvenirs, roasted chestnuts and mulled wine.

There’s plenty to buy, eat and drink, but you also shouldn’t miss the ice-skating on King Tomislav Square and the highly anticipated Christmas Taleperformance at the Central City Square.

The secret of the capital of Croatia’s success includes high-quality crafts, a friendly and festive atmosphere, concerts, ice skating rinks and affordable prices.

From the brass ensemble concerts that take place on the most beautiful balconies around the city to the ice rink in King Tomislav Square, the Croatian capital goes all out at Christmas. 

Croatia’s hipster capital has a large student population and offers festive value. Ban Josip Jelacic Square and European Square are two of the main spots at which to gather and Zrinjevac Park blends local food specialities with live music performances..

Der Adventmarkt in Zagreb zählt zu einen der stimmungsvollsten in Europa. Nun trägt die kroatische Hauptstadt offiziell den Titel „Bester europäischer Weihnachtsmarkt 2016“.

Croatia hopes Christmas tourism can boost flagging economy and prove there's much more to country than sea and summertime.

Affascinante come sanno esserlo le città mitteleuropee, ricche di storia e di tradizione.

Benché l’inverno in Europa abbia molto da offrire, Zagabria porta l’Avvento ad un livello del tutto nuovo e quindi ben merita il premio di “Best Christmas Market 2016”
