    From Kaptol we walk through a small passage and arrive at Dolac Market which is basically next door. This is the main market of Zagreb and I loved its atmosphere. You can buy groceries here as well as arts and crafts, original Chanel perfume (see General tip for more) as well as fake and tacky stuff. Underneath the open air market there's the market hall where you can buy cheese, meat and fish. No surprise this place is called the "belly of Zagreb".

    Don't miss to take a stroll over Croatia's famous farmer market Dolac. The farmers from the surrounding villages offer a wide selection of high quality products.

    All kinds of fruits and vegetables are sold at the outside stalls, whereas meat, cheese and fish can be found in the Dolac Market Halls. The market is opened every day except on Sundays.

    Just up from the main square (trg Bana J. Jalacica) by the stairs you will find the colourful Dolac market. To the back of the market square there are the touristy stalls which sell souvenirs. But actually the market itself is for the locals to buy fresh produce. Downstairs you will find the meat etc. sections.

    located between the trg ban jelacic and kaptol area, dolac markets are a fantastic way to spend some time getting to see the local characters, and also, picking up awesome fresh supplies!

    when i walked around with VTer 'craic', she picked up some strawberries, and my god, they were the sweetest yummiest berries i've ever had! not only is there fruit and veg to be bought, but also fish, meats, cheeses and homecrafts.

    a recent addition to the dolac square is the statue of the old lady with a basket on her head. i think its a nice touch to dolac, showing the 'typical' old croatian woman carrying her basket of supplies to the markets. this statue reminds me so much of my baba ana (grandma ana) that i can't help giggle every time i see it. it's just the complete picture of the old little croatian grandma!

    Great selection of fresh seafood from Adriatic
    If you come early enough, the variety is stunning, fresh scampi crawling over tables.
    Lumps of frozen fish available from other seas, but we prefer local and fresh products, don't we?

    Dolac is a large outdoor market, where (primarily older) Zagreb locals buy fresh fruits and vegetables, clothing, housewares - you name it. There are hundreds of stalls, and it's a great place to pick up some fresh fruit or baked goods. There are also a few stalls that sell traditional Croatian crafts, including lace tablecloths and placemat/napkin sets and little tchotchkes. I purchased a beautiful red and white checkered woven tablecloth here. Don't be afraid to bargain for an item - it is expected. Dolac is fun to stroll through - it's a good place to see the older population of Zagreb in action.

    This main market is "the belly of Zagreb". The open air fruit and vegetable market is open 7 days a week and sits above an enclosed market below. Downstairs a variety of meats and cheeses are avaliable - the smell of which is unique.

    Fresh, aromatic, tempting fruits and vegetables.

    Several stalls selling souvenirs too.

    One should sample the Balkan feature - Burek, the heavy pastry with stuffing (cheese being the favoured choice, but other varieties are also available, eg spinach).

    Fish market is located off the side, in an indoor storehouse, full of variety!

    humanitarian cause.
    by Durfun
    I met a very sweet and delicately pretty girl Natasha, selling these savouries.

    Her stall is parallel to the stairs leading you into Dolac market, just at the very top of the stairs.

    She fries the cute balls and places them in plastic cups, then you sprinkle icing sugar and squirt some chocolate over them, and munch away.

    Natasha is a student, and works shifts. She is so polite and mild-mannered.

    Here's the best bit: the 10 kuna price goes towards a humanitarian cause - a centre for battered women!! How noble is that? Way to go Natasha ;)

    There is a really good market just behind Trg bana Jelacica. Sells just about anything and a good place to buy food if you've a long train journey coming up!
