March 03. – Zagreb Botanical Garden
Our first socio-cultural outing takes us to the Zagreb Botanical Garden, a peaceful green oasis in the heart of the city and part of the Faculty of Science of the University of Zagreb. Founded in 1889, the garden offers a relaxing space to stroll among beautiful plants, winding paths, and small ponds while enjoying nature right in the center of Zagreb. It’s the perfect opportunity to take a break from the classroom, spend time outdoors, and enjoy the city from a slightly different perspective
March 11. – Zagreb City Museum
Join us for a visit to the Zagreb City Museum, where we will explore the rich history of the Croatian capital together. Founded in 1907 in the Upper Town by the Society of the Croatian Dragon, the museum’s permanent exhibition presents the story of the city from prehistory to the present day, highlighting key aspects such as history, politics, economics, architecture, art, and everyday life.
March 18. – Rakija Workshop
Join us for a fun rakija workshop where we’ll discover one of Croatia’s most famous traditions. Often called the “nectar of the gods” by the locals, rakija is more than just a drink—it’s an important part of Croatian culture and social life, served to welcome guests, celebrate special moments, or simply enjoy good company. During the workshop, we’ll learn about the history and different varieties of this traditional spirit, explore its many uses, and of course taste a few flavors before voting for our favorite.
March 25. – Dolac Market Experience
Start your Wednesday with a walk through the biggest market in Zagreb – Dolac. Opened in 1930, this colorful market is known for its iconic red umbrellas and for bringing together farmers from surrounding villages who sell fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese, flowers, and other homemade products. During our visit, we’ll stroll through the vibrant stalls, experience the authentic atmosphere of everyday Zagreb life, and discover why Dolac is often called the “belly of the city.”
April 1. – Croatian Sports Museum
Join us for a visit to the Croatian Sports Museum, where we will discover the fascinating story of sport in Croatia. The museum preserves a rich collection of memorabilia, equipment, photographs, and trophies that showcase the development of Croatian sport from the 19th century to the present day. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about the country’s sporting heritage and celebrate the achievements of Croatian athletes together.

April 8. – Hidden Kvart Walk
As they say, sugar goes on top – for our final activity, where you will get to see some of the hidden gems in the Zagreb’s city center. Join us in a short guided walk that will take you to from Britanac to some beautiful, lesser known spots. Afterwards we’ll wrap up our impressions over a cup of coffee (and some cake, of course!) at Tuškanac.
