Explore Zagreb with your driver / licensed local guide. The tour starts with the famous green horse shoe of Zagreb. The horseshoe is one of the most significant architectural projects in Zagreb history that determined present urban identity of the town center. The construction began in the second half of 19th century and is considered the biggest urban achievement of that time. With the horseshoe conquered we continue our drive towards cemetery Mirogoj.
