Gradska knjiga Zagreb: Alternativni vodič

A fascinating and rare urban and cultural rarity, “The City Book of Zagreb: An Alternative Guide” is a real discovery for all lovers of the city, urban history and unusual travelogues. At a time when tourist guides mostly offered concise and prescribed routes, this alternative guide decided to step off the beaten track and offer a completely different vision of Zagreb — one imbued with spirit, hidden passages, artistic enthusiasm and the everyday life of its inhabitants.

On the pages of this book, Zagreb is presented not only through the facades of landmarks, but also through the authentic atmosphere of Zagreb’s courtyards, iconic gathering places, neighborhood microcosms and unconventional city points that shaped the identity of the capital in the late 1980s. The authors skillfully balance between informativeness and literary expression, creating a vivid portrait of a city with a soul.

This edition is more than just a guide; It is a precious time capsule and a priceless collector's item for all passionate collectors of Zagreb's heritage, researchers of urban subcultures and nostalgics who want to experience Zagreb as it once was, far from stereotypical postcards.
