There is also a great interest in the Mirogoj Cemetery, which visitors describe as wonderful and recommend it to everyone, especially in the spring because that is when nature and architecture complement each other perfectly.

Along with the breathtaking cathedral, wrote many visitors, the real rhythm of the city can be felt on the main Ban Jelačić Square and the only criticism they had was that the shops did not work on Sundays in the centre of the city. "Regardless of one’s religious affiliation, the Stone Gate will arouse certain energy in you", wrote one visitor.

Tourists in Zagreb most like to shop on Ban Jelačić Square, the distinctive market Dolac and the unusual flee market Hrelić. Ban Jelačić Square is full of trendy shops that tourists cited as the best place to buy clothes, but most attention was given to , which except for being cheap also has a soul. Tourists love to buy local fruits and vegetables there and enjoy the authentic atmosphere.
