Dolac Market

23. 4. - 29. 10.
Friday and Saturday 8am - 1pm

Today, Dolac Market is the biggest, most popular and most important market in Zagreb. The new market was offi cially opened in 1930. when the small houses of Dolac, as well as the old city walls, were pulled down. At that time, Dolac was one of the biggest and most beautiful markets in this part of Europe. Nowadays, on top of the left stairway leading to Dolac, a statue of a woman proudly stands. It is the statue of the so-called “kumica” - a peasant woman with woven basket on her head - to commemorate thousands and thousands of women who came to the city every day, with baskets full of products from their gardens and farms, fresh fruit, vegetables, fl owers … They came from Prigorje in Zagreb’s surroundings: Markuševec, Šestine, Gračani, Čučerje, Remete and Vrapče. Very often they would make the long journey on foot, with a heavy load on their heads. In order to keep the memory of “kumica” - the hardworking guardian of the old spirit of Zagreb - alive not only as a statue, women dressed in Prigorje folk costume will once again come to Dolac from April to October to revive the memory of thousands of women who fed Zagreb throughout the centuries.

23. 4. - 2. 10.
Saturday and Sunday 10am - 12pm

From one street to another, from one doorway to another... the streets of the Upper Town used to echo with ballads or love songs centuries and decades ago. Occasionally, a coin would fly into a shabby hat, most often when nostalgic lyrics touched the heart and soul... you could always sing and romantic sounds always fi lled the streets of the Upper Town. Street musicians - Zagrebački Cinkuši and Potepuhi Quartet will take you back to those times.

Corner of Tkalčićeva and Krvavi Most, in front of street number 44, 50 and 53

Long time ago, Medvešćak brook used to fl ow through one of Zagreb’s most beautiful streets, today popularly called Tkalča. In those days, the street echoed with the song of washerwomen, who used to wash clothes in the brook, and the screaming of children who played by the brook. At the end of the 19th century, the brook was turned into a street. The liveliness of Tkalča was present in little craftsman shops and public houses. Nowadays, in the pleasant setting of old houses, cafés and restaurants, this street with a relaxed atmosphere and rich culinary scene becomes the centre of music and entertainment during the summer. Until the begining of October, Tkalča will be filled with the sounds of evergreens, chansons, ballads, jazz and classical music played by street performers and entertainers of all kinds. Take a walk and feel the rhythm of Tkalča!
