The Upper Town Courtyards- an amazing stroll through old Zagreb

Have you heard of the inevitable cultural and tourist attraction that takes place in the core of the Upper Town?
Zagreb Upper Town Courtyards is an annual summer programme (takes place usually in July) that invites everyone, from Zagreb locals to tourists to come and explore the small yards behind the oldest buildings in Upper Town, therefore, in Zagreb. From institutions to private households, most of them, allow those hungry for culture and fun to enter these magical little places and enjoy various concerts and gatherings prepared for them.

The yards of Upper town hide a part of Zagreb’s long and interesting history, like the one where the first Croatian opera “Love and Evil” by Vatroslav Lisinski was written or the legendary yard where the plot of Croatia’s most watched movie took place.

 

 

The citizens of Zagreb often say to her that it is a fresh and innovative event with a soul that Zagreb has not yet had. In that case, we invite you to convince yourself and take an interesting trip to the mysterious Zagreb yards next summer.

This is one of the excellent ways for tourists to experience Zagreb in a way you won’t often imagine – being a part of Zagreb’s community that respects its heritage and passes on its history.
