About this tour
This session covers Zrinjevac Park's fountains and a much older meteorological column tucked along the same path. You see how the park fits into a ring of green squares around the old town, then a small instrument that has quietly recorded the weather here for generations. It stays within this one park.
I move at an easy pace along the tree-lined path, pause at the column to explain how it still functions, and take questions as they come up.
This suits anyone who wants a short, calm walk between the busier squares. It also suits viewers curious about small, overlooked details in a familiar park.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city
Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Zagreb before heading out.
-
Zrinjevac Fountains 21 min
You see the park's central fountains along the tree-lined path, and I explain how this square fits into a wider ring of green spaces laid out around the old town.
-
The Meteorological Column 21 min
The camera reaches an older column recording temperature and pressure readings, and I point out how it has quietly kept working since it was installed generations ago.
-
Your questions 9 min
Time to ask anything about Zagreb: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Zagrebački odrezak (veal cutlet) and Lower Town, worth a slower look.
Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.
- Any phone, tablet or laptop with a camera works. You watch, the guide does the walking.
- Times are shown in Zagreb time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.

Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?

How it works
