Giro veloce in bici da Novi Zagreb a Centar

This city ride takes you from Novi Zagreb—a laid-back, residential area separated from the old city by the Sava River—right up to Donji grad, Zagreb’s lively lower town. The 9-kilometer journey is almost entirely on smooth pavement (asphalt for the most part!), so it’s ideal for road bikes and everyday commuters. You’ll use a pleasant mix of paths and quiet roads, with only brief forays onto busier streets and pedestrian zones.

As you leave Novi Zagreb’s modern apartment blocks behind, look for views of the Sava and Zagreb’s skyline. After a gentle climb with some modest elevation, you’ll roll into Donji grad, home to Zagreb’s best cafés, parks, and cultural spots—like the famous Zrinjevac park and bustling Ilica street.

It’s a straightforward route that’s perfect whether you’re commuting or just exploring. And with barely any gravel or unpaved sections, you can keep your ride smooth and relaxed the entire way!
