Croatian National Theatre (HNK Zagreb) Tours and Activities

The imposing, daffodil-yellow Neo-Baroque edifice of the Croatian National Theatre (HNK Zagreb) dominates Trg maršala Tita, the northeastern link in the network of parks around Zagreb’s Donji Grad (Lower Town), which forms the city’s cultural district. The theater was designed by Austrian architects and opened by Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph I in 1895; it is punctuated by towers on each corner and topped with a copper dome. The interior is equally opulent, a riot of marble, gilded columns and frescoed ceilings – also by Austrian artists – interspersed with busts of composers and opera singers
The scarlet-and-gold auditorium has the capacity to seat 800 and the repertoire includes a full season of ballet, orchestral and opera. As well as being the home of the Croatian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Croatian National Theatre attracts big-name performers and theater companies from all over the world. In the square outside the theatre stands “The Well of Life,” a vast bronze sculpture by 20th-century Croatian master Ivan Meštrović in 1905.

We research, design and develop unique travel programs. Our experience and
knowledge, as well as our passion for our homeland, enriches travelers'
experience in Croatia. We are travel specialists in custom-designed tours for
small and large groups.
Zagreb has culture, arts, music, architecture, gastronomy
and all the other things that make a quality capital city – it's
no surprise that the number of visitors has risen sharply in
recent years. Croatia's coastal attractions aside, Zagreb has
finally been discovered as a popular city-break destination in
its own right.
Zagreb is a mixture of straight-laced Austro-Hungarian
architecture and rough-around-the-edges socialist
structures, its character a sometimes uneasy combination of
the two elements. This small metropolis is made for strolling
the streets, drinking coffee in the permanently full cafes,
popping into museums and galleries, and enjoying the
theatres, concerts and cinema.
