Secret Zagreb’s year at Love Zagreb – 2025 edition
Can't believe it's already been five years since we've started writing for the Love Zagreb blog with stories from Zagreb locals. The blog is managed by Zagreb Tourism Board. This is an ongoing collaboration, and so far, we've contributed with dozens of articles, and we look forward to continuing this collaboration in 2026. You can find all of our articles in the Untold Stories section. Right now, we're bringing you an overview of what we wrote about this year. Click on the article title or the photo caption to read the full story of each article. The most recent ones come first, and the last one will take you to the beginning of the year.
Carol of the Zagreb Bells
One of the bells of the Zagreb Cathedral, crafted back in 1707, weighed more than 5 tons! Lifting such heavy weights and playing with fire! Sounds like a man’s job. Well, say that to Anna Maria Foresti, who crafted 80 bells herself. She took over her deceased husband’s business in 1735 - and delivered! She wasn’t the only woman bell maker in Zagreb. In fact, it became quite customary for women to take over their husbands’ workshops.
Secret Zagreb’s year at Love Zagreb
Zagreb Tourism Board runs a blog called Love Zagreb with stories from Zagreb locals. Back in 2021, they invited us to write for the new section called Untold Stories. This has been a very enjoyable collaboration for a number of reasons. 2021 was still an insecure year for tourism, and small city touroperators like Secret Zagreb, but this new content gave us a wonderful tool to stay connected with our guests, people interested in visiting Zagreb, and helped us always stay fresh and observing when exploring Zagreb. It has become a fruitful and steady collaboration of 3 years, with more than 60 articles published. The ideas for new posts in the upcoming year are already keeping our Iva entertained. While we're waiting for another Untold Story, let's take a look back at all the articles from 2023. Click on the article title or the photo caption to read the full story.
