After a tough pandemic year of 2020, 2021 brought a little relief and left lockdown ideas behind us. Although the end of this year is still a bit struck by the pandemic, it also brings light and hope for a better future. Advent is the magical period of saying goodbye to the old year and spending time with family, especially knowing the importance of our loved ones after a challenging two years.

The best Christmas market in Europe for several years

That is why the City of Zagreb is once again preparing a real Christmas magic in the form of Zagreb’s legendary Advent, the best Christmas market in Europe for several years in a row.

In many Upper and Lower Town locations, scattered between small squares, museum spaces, and street courtyards, a rich music program awaits you, ranging from classical chamber music to young popular musical artists, cultural events in the form of numerous exhibitions, and theater performances.

As children are once again the center of this Advent, Zagreb ensured that even the youngest have fun. The Christmas Train for children with fairy tales is just one part of this Christmas story that awaits you.
