By bicycle from Donji grad to Jankomir

Ready for a relaxed ride from the heart of Zagreb to its western edge? Start off in Donji grad, the city’s lively lower town filled with grand architecture and bustling cafés. You’ll pedal out on mostly quiet, paved roads, weaving through Zagreb’s charming neighborhoods. The route is just over 17.5 km—perfect for a couple of hours’ escape, and while there are a few gentle climbs, it’s mostly a breezy ride with nearly as much descent as ascent.

As you roll west, the urban scenery gradually gives way to calmer streets and handy bike paths (with hardly any time spent on truly busy roads). Jankomir marks Zagreb’s industrial border—not as picturesque as the city center, but a great jump-off for the nearby Sava river trails or a taste of the city’s practical, working side. Don't worry about major hills or rough paths—the route is almost entirely smooth asphalt, making it easy-going for any bike. Enjoy the ride!
