2025 is coming to a close, and many people are already shutting down for the year, even culturally. If you are one of them, let us stop you right there, as there are still so many things left to see. Some are only available before 2026

The most wonderful time of the year has begun – lights illuminate the streets, everything is decorated for Christmas, fragrant, and filled with joy and laughter at every turn. During Advent, not only adults enjoy the festivities; the youngest visitors are especially delighted – they feel as if all their most magical dreams come true for an entire month.

With the first snowflakes, the city hinted at a true winter fairytale this year — the beginning of the famous Advent Zagreb. For years, it has been known as one of the most beautiful in Europe, but what gives it that special dose of magic isn’t only the lit-up squares and parks, the wooden stalls, or the scents of cinnamon, mulled wine, fritule, and homemade cakes.
