    Tunnel System
    Tunel Grič is a 350 metre pedestrian tunnel located in the city centre connected by two passageways to Mesnička Street in the west and Radićeva in the east, with several side exits along the way. It's a great shortcut and saves having to walk the hilly bits of Grič district. Not amazing, but good fun and a bonus for me as I was staying in the western end of Zagreb centre

    A little hard to find but good to see.
    We found it a little hard to find the entrance off Pavla Radica street. Once we realized that you had to go through a door of a building then walk through to the entrance of the tunnel, we found. Then we knew what to look for in the other tunnel entrances. It was used as a bomb shelter and now is a convenient short cut for residents. It also host art shows in its larger central chamber. It has one main long tunnel with a few other off shoots that lead back to Ilica st. Its a good tourist attraction worth seeing.

    Not just a tunnel, but an important part of history
    Tunnel itself is just a tunnel, but its history as a thoroughfare and bomb shelter make it come alive. Basically one long tunnel with four other entrances (some blocked off). Not spooky. Even has toilets in the tunnel.

    350m long
    It was built in the 40s of the last century in order to shelter civilians from frequent bombings during World War II and the Homeland War. It is part of a branched network of underground tunnels, but only the Grič tunnel was opened to the public in 2016. The Grič tunnel is 350 meters long and connects two main streets, Mesnička and Radićeva, and is parallel to Ilica, which has four exits. You should definitely visit it during Advent or when there is a fashion show or festival of lights. Entrance is free.

Tunel Grič
Oct 2022
This is a pedestrian tunnel in the city centre of Zagreb, that was built during World War II to serve both as a bomb shelter and a promenade. After the war it fell into disrepair and disuse. Then in the 1990s it was used again as a shelter during the Croatian War of Independence. In 2016, the tunnel was remodeled and opened to the public, serving as a tourist attraction and occasionally hosting cultural events.
There is a main tunnel extending east to west, and four branches extending southward from the main tunnel. The walls are completely bare, excepting some tiny inscriptions. Notwithstanding the historical importance, there is not much to see.

Historic tunnel short cut.
Mar 2020 • Friends
Quick and free thing to do. The tunnel is used by locals as a short cut to save going around the upper town which is built on a hill.
Used as a bomb shelter in the 2nd world war, it is now a pedestrian tunnel. CCTV makes it safe as there is a manned control room by one of the entrances.

Part of a city tour but you can do it alone as long as you find the correct of 4 entrances and the times it is available.
Interesting part of the cities history and much bigger than we expected.
They had decorated the central area with the Nutcracker Suite theme.
We worth the 30 to 40 minutes.

Very poor
Nov 2022 • Family
After all the pictures I seen I thought this would be magical, basically it was a white sheet half way done the tunnel. Don’t waste your time, nothing like previous years. So glad I didn’t take a small child to see it, they would have been extremely disappointed.

Clever Use of an Old Bomb Shelter
Dec 2019
What a clever way to use an old bomb shelter. You can only walk one way through it so be sure you start at the correct end. During the Christmas season, it is decked out like a Christmas Wonderland. It was fun to walk through and see the happy faces of children.

Very interesting tunnel
Jul 2021 • Solo
Found this tunnel completely by accident despite it being on my list of to do’s here. Larger than I anticipated and well lit - so no safety issues. Provided a short cut in the Upper Town. Interesting history. Worth exploring!

Interesting experience
Dec 2019
We visited the tunnels in December, which saw it being decorated in a festive manner with Christmas music that added much character to the tunnel, but I still found it to be quite an interesting place considering its purpose and its architecture that is built into the hill. It's quite an interesting walk from one end to the other, connecting two well known areas, admiring the history of the place.

Mysterious
Nov 2021 • Solo
Gric Tunnel is a part of mysterious Zagreb tunnel network under the Upper Town, but it is the only one open to the public.

Today it is transformed into a tourist attraction and hosting temporary exhibition and events.

When not used for events, it is an underground shortcut and a great place to escape the summer heat.
