Croatia's modern history is made up of wars and independence. The Zagreb Patriotic War Tour is a special walking tour where you can experience the history of Croatia's fight for independence. You will learn about the collapse of communist Yugoslavia, the Patriotic War, and how Zagreb citizens lived at that time with a local guide. You can also feel the vivid traces of the war by visiting actual underground tunnels and cellars that were used as air raid shelters during the 90s war. Take the time to listen to the stories of Croatian people who did not lose hope even in the midst of war and gain a deeper understanding of the historical background.
Underground tunnels and shelters,
Unforgettable historical sites
The tour begins with a visit to the underground tunnels built during World War II. These were originally used as shelters and air raid shelters during the war, and later played a role in protecting the lives of citizens during the Croatian Homeland War in the 1990s. Afterwards, you will move to the basement that was actually used as an air raid shelter, and experience what the war for Croatian independence was like and how citizens lived in the midst of the fear and tension of that time. In addition, you can watch multimedia presentations, records and vivid materials from the war, and directly see the process by which Croatia became an independent nation. It will be a special time to experience a page of history firsthand.
