Stores, Malls or Markets in Zagreb

Dolac is Zagreb's main city market. It is held on a terrace overlooking the main square, Trg bana Jelacica and you'll also have a view of the cathedral from here. You can find all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables on the terrace along with many other goodies in the market hall below.

The Dolac market really has it all, but the best time to come for fish is early in the morning. By the time, Niksa and I arrived at the fish market in the late morning, all that was left was the smell and a few random fish. It's a large enclosed building just off of the terrace where all the fruits and vegetables are sold.

"Marlboro Classics" is a casual line of clothes made by famous Italian fashion group Marzzotto from Valdagno. The design of the clothes is based on a typically American Cowboy-style, made of cotton fabrics and leather.

What to buy: In case you like casual noncomformistic style, this is the right place.

What to pay: 500 -3.000kn

Personally, I don't like the trade-mark of Benetton because the styling is poor aswell as the fabrics are. Of course, this is my personal opinion, but to be more specific, since I am the professional in the clothing business I know what I am talking about.

What to buy: Anything you like and if so, don't pay atention on my opinion.

What to pay: anything you pay, you paid it too much

These are 2 most famous shopping malls in the city center. Importanne Centar is right next to the Train Station and Hotel Esplanade. It is a great promenade place and traffic connection point so the food is always fresh :) It has loads of snack bars, loads of Italian shoe stores, loads of sports stores, loads of lingerie stores. My favorite stores there are TOPSHOP (the biggest in Zagreb, still quite a small one) and Gulliver.

Importanne Galleria is situated in Vlaska street and features a number of ladies clothes store, watch stores, kids stuff, Pet store and snack bars. Details on both stores you can find on their website.
