Hidden in the winter idyll of Zagreb’s Upper Town, in the charming Demetrova Street, decorated for Advent, warm, intimate, and romantic, filled with the scents and flavours of winter, cinnamon, cloves and mulled wine, rakijas and small sweet treats, accompanied by Christmas songs and daily live music, with plenty of entertainment, good wishes and joy – the Croatian Natural History Museum offers a truly special Advent experience unlike any you have had before.
