The 16th Naj, naj, naj Festival, organised by the Žar Ptica City Theatre, is scheduled to take place between March 18th and 23rd, just before the spring break. It will give children the opportunity to see the best Croatian and international plays performed by children’s theatres.

If you want to get to know Zagreb in a different way, as of the second half of March you will have the opportunity to do so riding in an electric powered replica of the 1905 Model T Ford, whose driver will also be your guide.
