Although the Christmas market in Zagreb is only in its seventh year, it has already reached an outstanding level of popularity among winter tourists. In 2015 it even won the title of “Best Christmas Market” from a poll of more than 100,000 travelers on the European Best Destinations website. While it may not be as big or as glamorous as some of the other European markets with long traditions, the event Advent in Zagreb offers a truly unique Christmas atmosphere. The narrow city streets and town squares seem very relaxed and low-key; perfect for spending some quality family time, while enjoying the many local delicacies, mulled wine, singing and dancing. -wonderslist
