Zagreb: 2.5-Hour Cycle Back to Socialism Tour

4. Zagreb: 2.5-Hour Cycle Back to Socialism Tour

After meeting for the beginning of your tour in the city center, you will begin your lovely adventure. From here, cycle through the lower town, partially strolling the Green Horseshoe area, as the neighboring landscape transforms to a completely different surrounding. You will witness a very sudden change in the blink of eye. Crossing the river will cause you to enter the Balkan zone, safely cycling on long ago established cycling lanes. Here you'll get to see the development of the city since the post-World War II era, mainly through that "mystical" time of communism, seeing how it breathes today as it remains the main housing area of Zagreb. New Zagreb is currently also a cradle of a very vivacious Croatian contemporary art scene. You will cycle through the "sleeping over" area of the city, check the Contemporary Art Museum and shady and often very peaceful Bundek park with lakes. While cycling back over the bridge you'll have one of the loveliest sights on the city, and realize why Zagreb is such a city to love, complete with the mountains in the background.

The museum is really interesting and worth visiting. You can see old aeroplanes and cars, as well as fire engines amd ship models. We also did the free guided tour at 3 in the afternoon and watched the demonstration in Tesla's cabinet. It was exciting. Finally, we walked through the undergroung mine and got an idea of how mining worked in the pat. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend this tour. Vid is an amazing guide, absolutely fascinating and has a taste knowledge of the subject. He managed to keep everyone captivated by the history of the city and of Croatia in general, and made us all very emotional about some aspects of the history. Absolutely fascinating guide!

Not to be missed! I can’t imagine a more perfect guide for this specific tour than Ivana. With charm, wit, and intelligence, she gives a complete and thorough background on the history of Croatia and its politically turbulent past. The personal context she adds makes it even more memorable.

My guide (Ivanna) was excellent. Very entertaining and informative. The tour gave us lots of information and it was all expressed very clearly. A great tour and would definitely recommend.

Very Well structured and a lot of information and historyover 2,5 hours.
