Just a hop, skip and jump away from the train station you can find Zagreb's Botanical Gardens, which have been open to the public for more than one hundred years. Admission is free, and once inside you'll be able to see more than 10,000 different plant species as well as some small buildings and informative displays. Be on your best behavior as there are lots of rules (don't walk on the grass!).

The first sight I came upon in Zagreb is Nikola Šubić Zrinski Square, a long, narrow park just a block beyond the train station. Part of a series of seven parks forming a horseshoe shape in the Old Town, the park is home to a music pavilion and busts of famous Croatians, in addition to lots of greenery. At 7:00 in the morning the park was mostly empty, though there were some families out for walks.

Zrinjevac is just a foot from the main square and offers bag full of surprises, especially on saturdays mornings. Imagine an green oaza which is situated in the heart of the city, park full of flowers, green areas and city traditions. Here you can go back to the past, enjoying waltzes, operettas, jazz, evergeen and good old rock n roll from 60s and 70s. Or you can put on costumes of times long ago and take a photos.....

This is the biggest and the most beautiful park of South East Europe, it was laid out in 1784 and is graced by an old oak forest, sunny open space and romantic lakes.
Besides, there is a huge Zoo park too, one of the biggest in that part of Europe.
There are kilometres of walking paths, several small lakes, green meadows but above all here you could hear the sound of silence. There is nothing so sweet like dozing on a green grass in a shadow of an big oak tree, try it and you will enjoy it alot.
Btw, the name Maksimir means maxy peace.

Very big park near the central of the city opposite of the Stadium. I recommend to you to visit the Zoo inside this park. From Main square ( Ban Jelacic Trg ) you can take tram to this direction. Tram no : 12 & 11 ( Direction DUBEC ) . If you get the tram from Main Train Station ( Glavni Klodvor ) you should take the tram no : 4 ( Direction called DUBEC )

Zrinjevac, or Nikola Subic Zrinski Square, Zagreb's best-known public garden, is a romantic promenade and a recurring motif in the works of photographers, painters and poets. So, should you wish to experience the silence of the 100-year-old plane trees, enjoy watching the sparrows taking their morning bath in the fountains, or take a look at the meteorological post to see what tomorrow brings – then Zrinjevac is the place to be.

I immediately fell in love with this park. It's big, it has some sights, benches to have a seat and relax and it's big enough to take a decent walk or for jogging. The attractions are a small lake, a church, monuments, the pavilion of echos, a couple of cafés and the zoo.
