Zagreb's compact Upper and Lower Towns are made for slow exploration with a dog. Most outdoor attractions accept leashed pets free of charge, the funicular, the historic streets of Gornji Grad, the Mirogoj cemetery, and the broad terraces around Ban Jelačić Square. Indoor museums (with the rare exception of the Museum of Broken Relationships' courtyard) do not admit dogs.
Gornji Grad · Gornji Grad, 10000 Zagreb
The medieval Upper Town reached by the Zagreb Funicular: cobbled streets, the colourfully tiled roof of St. Mark's Church, the Stone Gate (Kamenita vrata) Marian shrine, and Lotrščak Tower's noon cannon. Entirely dog-friendly outdoor walking with multiple terrace cafés. Quiet on weekday mornings.
Mirogoj · Aleja Hermanna Bollea 27, 10000 Zagreb
Hermann Bollé's monumental 19th-century cemetery, ranked among Europe's most beautiful: ivy-clad arcades, cypress avenues, mausoleums of Croatia's national figures. Leashed dogs are welcome on the main avenues; please keep them off the lawns and side paths.
Gornji Grad · Tomićeva 1, 10000 Zagreb
Built in 1890, the Zagreb Funicular is the world's shortest public funicular at 66 m. The 30-second ride from Tomićeva to the Upper Town accepts leashed dogs (no muzzle requirement). The summit terrace at Lotrščak Tower has the best central panoramic view in the city.
