Why Dolac Market matters
Dolac is the stomach of Zagreb. Farmers arrive early with fruit, vegetables, cheese, honey and flowers under rows of red umbrellas. Downstairs, a covered hall sells meat, fish and dairy. Grab a pastry and wander through before the lunch crowd. It is the best place for a quick look at how people shop and eat in the capital.
Talking points
- Red umbrellas are the market's trademark.
- Local cheeses and cured meats are good to taste.
- Mornings are busiest and freshest.
