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. – Rails to Umbrellas: A Walk Through the Heart of Zagreb
Start your walk at Zagreb’s historic Main Railway Station and stroll through the elegant green paths of Zrinjevac Park before heading toward the lively Dolac Market – often called the “belly of the city.” There, you’ll spot the market’s iconic sea of bright red umbrellas—one of Zagreb’s most recognizable sights—sheltering stalls filled with fresh fruit, vegetables, flowers, and local specialties. It’s the perfect place to experience everyday Zagreb life while practicing Croatian with your fellow course participants.
March 25. – 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 1. – Hidden Kvart Walk
We’re heading out on a Hidden Kvart Walk 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.
April 8. – Rakija Workshop
Discover the world of rakija, Croatia’s famous fruit brandy that locals lovingly call the “nectar of the gods.” In this fun and interactive workshop, you’ll learn why rakija is much more than just a drink—it’s a tradition used to welcome guests, celebrate special moments, and share stories with friends. We’ll explore different flavors from across Croatia and finish with a lively tasting challenge where you can vote for your favorite. It’s a delicious way to experience Croatian culture together!
