About this tour

Yugoslavia’s communism was its own invention — non-aligned, half-open to the West, and full of contradictions that still mark Zagreb’s streets. On this walk we read the city like an archive: the socialist-modernist blocks and monuments, the renamed squares, the factories that became galleries, and the small everyday details — the cars, the shops, the slang — that defined life before 1991.

Your guide grew up with these stories. Expect politics, humour, and nostalgia in equal measure, and answers to the question every visitor asks: what was it actually like?
