For most of its life, Zagreb was not one city. It was two rival towns on neighbouring hills, close enough to throw stones, and for five hundred years, that is roughly what they did till they finally made peace. And every day at noon, a cannon fires from a medieval tower out over the rooftops of Zagreb. Locals will tell you it once won a war by destroying an Ottoman general's lunch.
Those are some stories on this self-guided walking tour of Zagreb's Upper Town, narrated through the Tourific audio app. Also, you’ll stand at the Bloody Bridge where the feud was settled, meet a statue that was cut to pieces and hidden in a cellar for decades, and uncover the real court case behind the Witch of Grič.
Start whenever you like, set your own pace, and listen offline in whichever language feels like home. Nothing rigid, and no guide to keep up with.
Over 25,000 travelers have used the self-guided tours, and every one comes with a full refund guarantee.
