A special treat for everyone who wants to move away from the picture-perfect city center, and explore the seemingly gray socialist-style neighbourhoods of Novi Zagreb – we designed a map that will help you explore the area by yourselves. And hopefully find beauty in it. Enjoy!

Good to know – in 2026, we offer guided tours of the area – Saturday mornings from May to October.

Gamified explorations are our thing, and we prepared a free self-guided literature-themed quest for you to try out. It isn’t very difficult, yet it’s a fun way to explore the old town.

You can download the PDF with riddles in Croatian or English, head over to the Opatovina, which is the starting point, and start spotting, exploring and figuring out the riddles we prepared for you.

If you manage to solve it, you can earn 20% discount on our paid tours.

Two of our mysterious tours – Zagreb Ghosts & Dragons Tour and Sleeping Dragon and Other Legends have received their selfguided combo-version in the shape of a wonderful illustrated city tour called Mysterious Zagreb.

The maps are sold out at the moment, but rather than restocking, we’re preparing something new. Follow us on social networks and stay tuned.

Our first free e-book is a photo tour called 13 Nights.

Here at Secret Zagreb, we’ve been traditionally organizing an increased number of dark evening tours in October for visitors and locals alike since 2013. As 2020 wasn’t exactly going as planned, it wasn’t possible to organize our usual 13 Days of
Halloween event.

Worry not! We weren’t going to leave you without the mysterious Zagreb tales even in this strange year. Our Iva teamed up with photographer Branko Nađ. Together we prepared 13 Nights photo blog. Each evening, from 19 to 31 October 2020, a new curious tale from Secret Zagreb archives reminded us of the city’s ancient soul on our social networks. With all the delightful reactions, we decided to turn those stories into an e-book. Thanks to the work of talented and intuitive designer Benedetta Agostoni, the e-book is now available for download.

We hope it will inspire you to enjoy a quiet evening walk through the old town, surrounded only by the thin mist, in search of whispers of times long past.

We are specialised in gamified activities, so we prepared a free self-guided quest for you to try out. Let us warn you that it’s not easy at all, but it can be an interesting and challenging activity for your stay in Zagreb.

You can download the PDF with riddles in Croatian or English, head over to the Stone Gate, which is the starting point, and start spotting, exploring and figuring out the riddles we prepared for you.

If you manage to solve it, contact us with the solution and we will send you an e-booklet with more information about the places you’ve visited.
