Novi Zagreb à la Française
Cultural city walk
Fully booked!

What connects New Zagreb and France? Whether it’s people and ideas, urban planning and art, history and the present, this walk will uncover the links between New Zagreb and France. Who connects the Museum of Contemporary Art and Paris? How did urban planning trends led by modernist pioneer Le Corbusier influence the construction of New Zagreb? What French trace lies hidden in the name Kajzerica? In what way could New Zagreb inspire the mayor of Paris?
The walk begins in front of the Museum of Contemporary Art and continues westward through the New Zagreb neighborhoods of Siget and Trnsko. The estimated duration of the walk is two hours.
