Advent in Zagreb | Zagreb
Celebration
The 2026 Zagreb Christmas season will open on November 28, 2026, and run until January 7, 2027. Zagreb's popular Advent season has once again gained international recognition, this time from CNN, which listed the Croatian capital as one of the best Christmas markets in the world for 2025.
During the Zagreb Christmas season, the city boasts approximately 25 different Christmas markets offering visitors a variety of fascinating experiences, from live nativity scenes and ice sculptures to outdoor concerts, pop-up bars, and even a Christmas tram carrying Santa Claus and his elves.
One particular highlight is a dedicated area for "fuiranje" (or "fool's fun"), where locals and tourists alike gather to dance in the streets, enjoy street food, and watch live entertainment in a lively and joyful atmosphere.
