Is Zagreb Dog-Friendly?, Zagreb, Croatia

Croatia is generally quite a dog-friendly country, so its capital city of Zagreb is an easy place to visit if you have a dog. You’ll find a lot to do outdoors and plenty of dog-friendly restaurants to make sure you don’t miss out on some of the coolest things the city has to offer on account of your dog.

Zagreb’s is divided into Upper and Lower Town, which is appropriately named not only because of where they lie on the map but because Upper Town sits up on a hill above the rest of Zagreb. Upper Town is the older medieval quarter of the city which includes some of the oldest buildings and is generally more quiet than Lower Town, where the majority of the city’s liveliest restaurants and bars are located.

You can walk up to Upper Town to see some of the most interesting sites in the area including St. Mark’s Church and the Stone Gate (Kamenita vrata), where people come to pray. Though dogs are not allowed in the religious buildings such as Zagreb Cathedral or St. Mark’s Church, neither are you! St. Mark’s Church stands a tourist symbol because of its iconic tiled roof, but it’s only open to the public for mass and not for tourism. Zagreb Cathedral is also closed for renovation, so it’s only visible from the outside and even the spires are currently covered in scaffolding. ......
