Zagreb, Croatia

The stunning city of Zagreb is famous for its Christmas market, but it's also a perfect destination for spring, especially at Easter. In Croatia, Easter is a highly significant time of year when families join together to celebrate Christ and practice special customs. You may enjoy Easter in this vibrant city with friendly residents and with enormous decorated eggs. Enjoy the many lovely parks, retail areas, and terraces while you're there.

In the very heart of the city, you will find huge hand-painted Easter eggs in front of the Zagreb Cathedral on Kaptol, as a part of the Easter decorations of Zagreb. They are painted in Croatian Naive style by artists from the Koprivnica-Krizevci County, the area known as the cradle of Croatian naive painting. These big Easter eggs are the symbol of Easter love and joy. The eggs are always surrounded by beautiful spring flowers, and the final result is this beautiful sight in front of the cathedral.

Besides the enormous hand-painted Easter eggs, there are many other places for you to see in Zagreb. To stock up on the important Easter treats (such as sirnica, Easter bread, and krotule, sweet pastry knots), go to the Dolac market. Also, don't miss the Passion Heritage Festival! Don't hesitate to discover the rich culture of Croatia with this collection of theater productions, art installations, and concerts presented all across the city of Zagreb.
