Hotels near European Square and Augusta Cesarca Street

European Square and Augusta Cesarca Street, just off Ban Jelačić Square, are among the central locations of Advent in Zagreb. Stalls sell food, drinks and gifts, and the area has a lively atmosphere in the evenings, with music and festive decorations.

These locations, along with Ban Jelačić Square and the Strossmayer Promenade, have formed the core of Advent in recent years, according to the organisers. Advent also spreads to neighbourhoods across the city.

The compact layout makes it easy to move between the stalls and the main square on foot, and it is the busiest part of the Zagreb Christmas market on weekend evenings.

Pro Tip: Combine European Square with a stroll to the nearby Dolac Market in the morning, where locals buy fresh produce and festive treats.
