The month of November is before us, when the city does not slip into hibernation but its rhythm picks up in a pre-Christmas atmosphere. Treats from the world of film, theatre, music, sport and exhibitions await you. We are getting ready for a magnificent Advent in Zagreb in December which guarantees a warm and positive atmosphere.

The scent of roasting chestnuts, the vivid colours of the farmers’ market tell us unequivocally that autumn has arrived, a real Zagreb autumn. A good part of the city’s events move indoors but the offering is equally rich. Before us is a range of events of great tradition and significance, worthwhile events which over years have won a large and loyal following and without which this time of year would be hard to imagine.
