La lumière de l’avent

#SvjetlostAdventa #AdventLights

Les fenêtres décorées des Zagrebois et des institutions transmettent des messages de joie, de solidarité et de bienveillance et sont le symbole du véritable esprit des fêtes.

La lumière de l’avent est un projet dans le cadre duquel l’office de tourisme de la ville de Zagreb souhaite inciter les institutions culturelles de la vieille ville à décorer leurs fenêtres dans l’esprit des fêtes.

En effet, en raison de la pandémie et du tremblement de terre, l’année 2000 a été et demeure difficile, ce projet étant censé raconter une histoire joyeuse, stimuler les émotions positives, créer un sentiment de cohésion et, au final, inciter la population locale à participer et contribuer à l’avent.

L’office de tourisme de la ville de Zagreb a invité les institutions culturelles à se joindre à l’initiative et à décorer les fenêtres en utilisant des décorations et lumières de Noël et en y inscrivant des messages positives du 28 novembre au 31 décembre 2020 afin de stimuler les autres.

Les saveurs de l’Avent à Zagreb

Stuffed turkey with mlinci

Here comes the turkey! The turkey is a must, especially with homemade mlinci. A classic that never goes out of fashion and one that is prepared at least several times a year for holidays that the people of Zagreb love so much. What makes it a classic? The excellent taste, of course! Zagreb-style turkey is practically a symbol of the holidays. Find a place for it on your table too.

Paprenjaci – peppery gingerbread cookies

Named after pepper, a spice that was very expensive and rare in the past, paprenjaci are an indigenous Croatian as well as Zagreb pastry, as described by August Šenoa in his renowned novel "Zlatarevo zlato". Today, paprenjaci have become of the most well-known tourist souvenirs of Zagreb, with numerous guests from all over the world taking them home as a pleasant and tasty memento of Zagreb.

Vanilin kiflice – vanilla half-moons

Isn't it about time that you surprised all of the neighbours who have, for years, been brining you vanilla half-moons for the holidays? That's right – bake some yourself! It is very simple and Christmas just would not be the same without them. Plus, there will come a time when the neighbour with the half-moons will no longer be around and you might be the one that will have to take up the role of "moon-dealer".

Sarma with mashed potatoes – sour cabbage rolls stuffed with minced meat

Nothing can quite conjure the image of sarma like the lyrics of the band Hladno pivo: Out of all food, I like sarma the most, no other grub can come close. Minced meat that is rolled tight, in leaves of cabbage, it's a delight. ... As long as it's cold outside, sarma will keep you warm.

Makovnjača – yeast dough poppy seed roll

What to say about the pastry that pretty much everyone in Zagreb tasted? Your elders may have baked it, or maybe your neighbours. Whichever way, it is a part of our tradition. A tasty crisp dough with a sweet poppy stuffing is ideal to have for dessert, and maybe even better for dipping in a glass of warm milk in the morning.

Nigdje u Europi nismo vidjeli bogatiji, ljepši, organiziraniji, ... Advent!!!

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.

Edward Joseph Mavrinac, Oakville, Canada

Undoubtedly the experience of a lifetime!!!

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.

Why you need to visit Zagreb's Advent 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...

Forbes

A Culinary Guide To Zagreb's Christmas Market (Voted Europe's Best)

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.)

CNN Travel

Advent traditions around the world

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.

The travel website European Best Destinations named the Zagreb Christmas Market as the Best Christmas Market for the third year running, as voted by the public.

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.

Forbes

For the third consecutive year, Zagreb sits atop the European Best Destinations list of the Best Christmas markets

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.

Zagreb Christmas market - Best for: A city-wide celebration

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.

Daily Mail Online

Probably the most exciting Christmas markets... in the world.

There are annual awards for Christmas markets and Zagreb grabbed first place last year. Croatia’s hipster capital has a large student population and offers festive value.
