Is Westgate worth the trip from Zagreb?
Westgate is most worth visiting if you want to combine shopping with family entertainment, home-interior stores or several hours of activities in one place. The huge amount of free parking makes Westgate particularly attractive if you have a car.
Families have another good reason to make the trip because Westgate combines shopping with a large indoor children's play centre, bowling and go-karting.
If you only want fashion shopping while staying in central Zagreb, other malls may be easier to reach. See our guide to shopping in Zagreb for more options.
