Destination Urban - Tours for urban adventurers

Explore locations off the beaten path guided by a team of young adventurous people from the Destination Urban agency. They will take you to some abandoned “urban” locations which tourists rarely visit to offer you a taste of a real adventure.

If you are an adventurer at heart, if you always look for new challenges and you are prepared to explore locations which cannot be found in any tourist brochure, knock on the door of Destination  Urban where a team of young people await to take you to places off the beaten path as part of their interesting excursion programme. Travel aficionados themselves, they will help you explore some abandoned “urban” locations which once had their function and nowadays bear forlorn witness to past times. Sometimes even the locals who live in their vicinity are not aware of their existence.

Apart from conventional tours which include visits to famous tourist destinations such as the Plitivice Lakes National Park, a favourite spot for tourists from all over the world, or the beautiful Medvednica Nature Park towering over Zagreb, this agency offers several other tours with a lot more in the pipeline. The young adventurers from the agency will take you on a tour of former military facilities which now stand abandoned. One of them is the subterranean airport Željava under Plješivica Mountain on the border between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the largest ever built during the time of former Yugoslavia. Other such intriguing sites are the tunnel Markuševac and Zrinski mines on Mount Medvednica. All of these tours will provide a lot of opportunities to gain new experiences while exploring fascinating and once important facilities, buildings and locations which tourists rarely visit. All the tours start from the Swanky Hostel and are offered at affordable prices. If you think that this type of offer may be of interest to you, you can find more information about the agency’s programmes at www.destination-urban.eu which can also be accessed via a link on the web pages of the Zagreb Tourist Board.
