Zagreb

Ilica is the longest and most popular street of Zagreb. It starts from Jelacic Square and from there is pretty much covered in shops. Most of them sell clothes and shoes only, but it is on this street that you will find all the designer brands.

Centar Cvjetni is a stylish, small shopping venue in the city centre containing some famous stores like H&M, Timberland, Guess, Tommi Hilfiger, Douglas and an Apple Store. Inside, there are also several international eateries offering for instance Mexican, Asian and Italian cuisine as well as French patisserie. Outside, you'll find yourself in Cvjetni square, which means flower square, as there are many flower stalls to browse through.

If you happen to be in Zagreb on a Wednesday or a Sunday morning, you might want to check out the Hrelić Flea Market–the biggest second-hand market in the city. Here you can browse through antiquities, vintage records, old postcards, second-hand clothes, accessories, books, and more. Even if you don't plan on buying anything here, you might just find the unique item that will make you change your mind.

Importanne Centar is an underground mall housing more than 200 shops, including international brands, plus cafes and casual eateries. Since it's situated just a few steps away from the rail station and quite close to Jelacic Square, Importanne Centar is a good place to pass the time or grab a bite if you have a few hours to kill before taking the train. Interesting fact: this subterranean shopping centre was the first one to be built in Zagreb. Keep an eye out for sales and promotions, as they are quite frequent.
