À vélo de Centar à Zagreb

This easy, super-short cycling route takes you right through the heart of Zagreb, starting in Donji grad (“Lower Town”) and ending just a block away in central Zagreb. The ride is less than 350 meters long and mostly flat, making it ideal for a quick cruise—great for beginners or anyone just looking to enjoy the city atmosphere.

You’ll pass a mix of landscapes along the way: most of it is paved, with about a quarter featuring charming old paving stones. The ride takes you along a mix of regular roads, quieter streets, and even some pedestrian-friendly areas—perfect for a slow roll to take in the downtown sights. Since you’re in the city center, you’ll see some classic Zagreb architecture, cozy cafés, and maybe even catch a street performance if you’re lucky!

Fun fact: Donji grad is known for its leafy parks and elegant 19th-century buildings. Both the start and end of your route put you just steps away from cultural hotspots like Ban Jelačić Square and the Croatian National Theatre. Ride slow and soak it all in!
