Advent in Zagreb

Advent in Zagreb

Croatia is often associated with sun-kissed islands and historic coastal towns, but its capital Zagreb has a winter secret - Advent in Zagreb, one of Europe’s favorite Christmas markets. Each year, the city center fills with wooden huts, lights, music and the smell of mulled wine.

In 2025, Advent in Zagreb runs from 29 November to 7 January, turning the streets and parks around Ban Jelačić Square, Zrinjevac and King Tomislav Square into a festive playground of markets, concerts and food stalls. It is an easy winter break to combine with Zagreb’s museums, cafés and day trips.
