- MoniaitsLondon, United Kingdom1,670 contributionsUseful to read the history before visiting.Walk her from our hotel - about 40 minutes. Unfortunately, as previous reviewers have mentioned, all the surrounding buildings are fenced off due to damage suffered during the 2020 earthquake. Wikipedia has a very good article about the history of the cemetery and is useful in understanding the set up.Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 5, 2023
- nicki cPontefract, United Kingdom103 contributionsInteresting and worth the effortPeaceful and informative walk around this central cemetery. Memorials for public officials, those lost in the 1990 homeland war and WW2 German soldiers. I walked the 45 minutes from central Zagreb and back which was also interesting. You could get the bus if you prefer.Visited April 2024Traveled soloWritten April 24, 2024
- Berke AyrancıoğluGraz, Austria641 contributionsAway from the center but niceZagreb is a small city but the cemetery is far away from the center. I would suggest visiting the cemetery only if you have extra time in the city. The distance is walkable but there should be public transport too. There are interesting tombstones and the architecture of the buildings is remarkable.Visited April 2024Traveled with friendsWritten May 17, 2024

One of a kind cemetery in the world. I've bookmarked this place because of all the social media photos I've seen in the past. However, due to the recent earthquake in 2020, the buildings was badly damaged and considered unsafe. Everything was fenced in. You can't take a really good photo. You can still appreciate the ones that's not fenced in. You can still walk around the grounds and admire the beautiful sculptures and gravestones.

Of the great cemeteries of Europe, Mirogoj is second only to Central in Vienna. This place is gargantuan, meticulously kept, and filled with wonderful history and monuments. Much more than simply black stones, the plots here are fantastic, inspiring and grand. The main building, fronting the road, is truly a site, and suffered greatly in the recent earthquakes. We wish we had more than the 2-3 hours we spent here.

Beaut and large old cemetery that's lovely to stroll around in the early weekday mornings when no one else is really there. The parking out front near Srebrnjak is adequate for normal days, but not for holidays like All Saints Day.
To the reviewer a few down who was wondering why anyone would rate a cemetery on TA, uh...why did you rate Mirogoj? Moreso, though, cemeteries mean different things to different people, and visitors can get a feel for the history of a place, and the current atmosphere of a place (and the locals) by visiting cemeteries. At least I feel that way.

Took the tram here to this old, but still in use, cemetery. We came at the right time of year. Most tombs are 'family' ones. Didn't realise that All Saints Day was a public holiday. Traditional people come to clean and decorate the tombs, leaving flowrs and candles.
We visited a couple of days after. There were beautiful flower displays everywhere.

Probably the worst rip off trip in zargreb. Could not determine how to get here despite asking loads of.people at the train station...nobody seemed to know. Ended up paying 35 euros to a taxi driver to get there. It's quite a distance from the centre. The place has fallen into decrepitude and there seems to be some attempts at restoration. It's a lovely peaceful location but a very expensive walk with the dead.

Even if you do not like cemetaries, this one is worth visiting. The main intrance has a huge church, galeries and columns. The graves are spectacular. There are also monuments for the victimes of world war I and II

The Mirogoj cemetery is listed as one of the nicest in Europe, and it certainly can compete with those other famous places like Highgate cemetery in London, Père Lachaise in Paris and Novodevichi in Moscow. The weather was fitting to the place, a bit cold and raining. The area is vast, but it is enough to walk a few blocks to get an idea of the place. If you have the time it is certainly worth a visit. There are a few bus lines that go up there from the center.

Our guide told us, it is the most important cemetery in Croatia. It is the resting place for so many famous Croatians. There are beautiful ornaments on the graves, and the entrance very impressive. Regardless of their religion famous Croatians might be buried here

It's a beautiful cemetery with a very impressive facade. The towers from outside look very beautiful. The main structure got damaged during the earth quake and is worked upon.
Many important Croatians are buried here.
A very peaceful place to spend half an hour.

Does it have a "Find A Grave" type database for locating someone buried there?

Ciao. Anche noi abbiamo avuto questo problema. Fortunatamente abbiamo trovato una splendida persona che ci ha accompagnato fino alla tomba...il cimitero è davvero enorme!! Impossibile trovarla se si va a caso. Detto questo, posso solo dirti che Drazen è sepolto nell'ala più nuova e all'entrata di questa, ci sono dei tabelloni con delle mappe che ti spiegano che numero ha la tomba e dove trovarla. Ogni settore ha queste mappe. Se non trovi il suo nome, sei nell'ala sbagliata! buona fortuna!

hola el horario es todo el día corrido, podés recorrerlo sin problemas oir la mañana y la tarde, supongo que por la noche lo cierran, pero lamentablemente no había personal ciando fui y no he podido realizar preguntas a los empleados.
Yo he ido por la mañana casi mediodía y me quedé hasta las 16hs más o menos, quizás era horario en que los empleados estaban de receso.

come si raggiunge dal centro con i mezzi pubblici? Ci sono giorni di chiusura?
Written April 11, 2015
dalla zona della Cattedrale con l'autobus 106 o con il 226, circa un quarto d'ora, 20 minuti di viaggio. E' aperto da aprile a settembre dalle 6.00 alle 20.00 e da ottobre a marzo dalle 7.30 alle 18.00
