The biggest city park and the first forest park in Europe, Maksimir, is one of those places that will amaze you at first glance. Decorated in the style of English romanticism, this forest park is a lavish green oasis of peace in Zagreb.
The stunning harmony of its sunny meadows, the luxuriant shrubs of trees, and shimmering lakes with white swans will give you a feeling as if you’re in a fairytale. As it is a perfect place to take a break from everyday life, you will encounter many recreation fans and seekers of peace and quiet. Botanic lovers and bird watchers won’t leave disappointed due to the interesting and rich forest’s biodiversity. Numerous walking and cycling paths are ideal for running, walking along landscaped meadows, Nordic walking, cycling or even rowing boats on the Third Lake. Spacious meadows are like a call for a picnic time and there are two modern playgrounds so the children can have their fun. In the southern part of the park is located Zagreb Zoo which makes a great idea for a family activity, especially during the weekend time.
When you get tired, a great bar and restaurant in Maksimir’s viewpoint are perfect to relax and find shade under the crown of trees. Head to the terrace and find refreshments while admiring the winding pathways, pavilions, decorated sculptures, small streams and other beauties of the forest beneath you.
Don’t forget to bring your four-paw friend to enjoy the activities with you because this piece of heaven is also a dog-friendly place.
