← Where to stay in Zagreb

In short

Britanski trg and the western part of Donji Grad form a leafy, residential slice of the Lower Town, known for its Sunday antiques market and easygoing neighbourhood cafés. It's still walkable to Ban Jelačić Square but noticeably calmer than the tourist core, appealing to repeat visitors who want a more local feel.

The area gathers around Britanski trg (British Square), a small tree-shaded square hosting a daily fruit-and-veg market and a well-loved Sunday antiques and flea market. Days feel neighbourly and unhurried among low-key cafés and residential streets, while evenings stay quiet compared to the central squares.

Getting around

Ban Jelačić Square is a 10–15 minute walk east or a couple of tram stops along the main avenues. For Franjo Tuđman Airport (ZAG), connect to the shuttle bus at the main bus station or take a taxi/ride-hail, roughly 25–35 minutes.
