Upper Town in the Past - saturdays and sundays 5.00 pm - 8.00 pm
Do you feel like you have travelled in a time machine to the past? You are mistaken! Here, in the streets of the Upper Town, right beside you, the main characters from stories written long time ago are still passing by: characters from legends, but also real people. All those ordinary and great men and women who have marked Zagreb’s history.
In the streets of the Upper Town, you will meet MARIJA JURIĆ ZAGORKA, the first Croatian female journalist, committed feminist and writer, and ANTUN GUSTAV MATOŠ, Croatian poet, short story author, feuilletonist, essayist and travel writer. NEWSBOY will tell you about local news just like he used to do, and POSTMAN will surprise you with his postal horn. DORA and PAVLE, Zagreb’s Romeo and Juliet will share their unfortunate love story with you, and LJUDEVIT GAJ and SIDONIJA RUBIDO ERDÖDY will tell you about the Illyrian movement in Croatia. KNIGHTS of the Silver Dragon will present their skills just like in the ancient Dark Ages, while the CITY GUARD will be there to protect you.
