Mirogoj Cemetery Tours
It might seem surprising that a cemetery features on Zagreb’s list of top tourist attractions, but the exquisite Mirogoj Cemetery is no ordinary graveyard. Laid out in 1876 by acclaimed German architect Hermann Bollé, the 7-acre plot is renowned as one of Europe’s most beautiful cemeteries, fronted by a grand 500-meter long neo-Renaissance arcade and set against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Medvednica.
Strolling the tree-lined walkways through Mirogoj Cemetery unveils an elaborate series of mausoleums and chapels, landscaped gardens and monumental statues, most notably the Bollé-designed Chapel of Christ the King; the modern Crematorium and Urn Grove; and sculptures by Ivan Mestrovic and Mihanovic. Read the inscriptions on the ornate tombstones and you’ll recognize the names of many of Croatia’s most prominent artists, politicians and soldiers, including playwright Miroslav Krleza, American NBA basketball player Drazen Petrovic, poet Petar Preradovic, Croatia’s first president, Franjo Tudman and, fittingly, Hermann Bollé himself.

We research, design and develop unique travel programs. Our experience and
knowledge, as well as our passion for our homeland, enriches travelers'
experience in Croatia. We are travel specialists in custom-designed tours for
small and large groups.
Zagreb has culture, arts, music, architecture, gastronomy
and all the other things that make a quality capital city – it's
no surprise that the number of visitors has risen sharply in
recent years. Croatia's coastal attractions aside, Zagreb has
finally been discovered as a popular city-break destination in
its own right.
Zagreb is a mixture of straight-laced Austro-Hungarian
architecture and rough-around-the-edges socialist
structures, its character a sometimes uneasy combination of
the two elements. This small metropolis is made for strolling
the streets, drinking coffee in the permanently full cafes,
popping into museums and galleries, and enjoying the
theatres, concerts and cinema.
