Advent In Zagreb 

Get Ready for the Magic of Advent Zagreb!

2 December 2023 - 7 January 2024

 With an 'Advent Warm-up' starting on November 29th.

 Zagreb has proudly secured the coveted title of 'Best Christmas Market in Europe' for three consecutive years – a feat accomplished in 2016, 2017,

and 2018. With excitement building for this year's festivities, there's no doubt that Zagreb will once again dazzle and strive to capture the title once more!

From December 2 to January 7, Zagreb the capital of  Croatia will  transform into a winter wonderland, aglow with thousands of twinkling lights,

infusing the air with the warmth and romance that only the Advent season can bring. Throughout the city's streets, squares, promenades, passages,

and parks, you'll find places to come together with your loved ones, holding a warm cup of mulled wine or hot chocolate to chase away the chill.

Breathe in the delightful scents of cinnamon, cloves, and local treats that will fill the heart of the city.

This year, the festivities kick off with an 'Advent Warm-up' starting on November 29th.

• Traditional Advent Lighting: The lighting of the first Advent candle at Manduševac on December 2nd marks the start of one of Zagreb's most iconic tourist events.

• New and Familiar Locations: Mayor Tomislav Tomašević confirmed the introduction of new locations within the pedestrian zone and Ban Jelačić Square. The 'Great, Great Christmas' at Svačić Square commences on December 9th, and the Mažuranac Ball is scheduled for December 15th.

• Ice Rink and Enchanting Gardens: The ice rink at Tomislavac is back for skating enthusiasts. For the first time, Advent will extend to the city park Ribnjak with the 'Moon Garden,' having relocated from Bele IV Park.

• Fuliranje Returns: The popular 'Fuliranje' returns to Strossmeyer Square, and Zrinjevac remains an indispensable part of the festivities.
