Itinerary description

This walk reveals a complex history of one of the most beautiful and serene places in Zagreb: Rokov Perivoj. Its story reminds us of how Zagreb transformed from a small province into a modernist Central-European capital. Rokov perivoj is the finest architectural achievement that combines early 20th century urban villas and protected natural beauty. It was shaped by the presence of various artists for whom the villas were designed.

The walk further leads to Tuškanac, passing by the residency of the famous Croatian writer Miroslav Krleža. It meanders through Vladimir Nazor park and more secluded leafy areas until it comes full circle at the British Square.

This is a Zagreb Honestly recommended walk that reveals artistic and architectural developments of the city at the turn of the 20th century. Its main motif is highlighting the way green spaces were cultivated and included into modernist ideas of the cityscape.
