    Local Market of Zagreb
    A market where you can find fresh and local fruits, vegetables, flowers, meat etc. Although it is good, honestly I don't think it is really special. Its location is very central, you wouldn't lose so much time by visiting, so I would suggest.

    Great experience
    This is a large market on different levels and in a variety of spaces with each speciality grouped together. We found the fruit prices quite reasonable and everything looked fresh. There are some adjacent shops selling prepared food as well.

    A vibrant open-air market
    I visited this market while walking around Zagreb. It is an open-air market located at the top of a flight of stairs just off Ban Jelacic Square. There were rows of red umbrellas and lively shouts flying around. In addition to fresh fruits and vegetables grown by local farmers, and foods such as honey, they also sell household goods such as brooms and baskets, and souvenirs, all at reasonable prices. Vegetables and fruits are generally sold by weight, but some stores will sell you just one or two pieces. It is a kind of local kitchen market with over 80 years of tradition, and it is fun to experience the lively activities of the local citizens. I didn't notice it at the time, but the covered market below also sells local dairy products such as cheese and cream, as well as fish and meat.

    Full market
    You will find it as you walk in the Cathedral area. Full market with fruits and vegetables outside and meat, fish and others inside. There are terraces of cafeterias that overlook the fruit area. We bought some good cakes.

    The open-air "Market" in Zagreb
    A large open-air market in the center of the old town. Lots of tents, all strictly red, under which we find many stalls selling all kinds of food or drinks, not to mention the souvenir shops nearby. Here you can walk among the colors, smells and aromas of fruit, vegetables, cheeses and much more. The atmosphere takes us back in time and makes us savor what Croatia has to offer. Truly characteristic!

    Dolac,Zagreb
    Dolac Market is one of the most recognizable places in Zagreb and a must-visit destination for both tourists and locals. This traditional market, located near the main square, offers a wealth of fresh produce and authentic local charm. Atmosphere The atmosphere at Dolac is lively and cheerful, with many vendors offering fresh fruits, vegetables, homemade cheeses, meats, and various delicacies. The vibrant colors and scents make a visit to the market an unforgettable experience. Friendly vendors are often willing to share cooking tips or recommend the best ways to use the products they se Products At the market, you can find a wide range of products, from local fruits and vegetables to homemade baked goods and souvenirs. Freshly picked strawberries, tomatoes, and olives are particularly recommended and are a true delight for the palate. Additionally, be sure to try the homemade cheeses and cured meats, which are a hit among visitors. Location Dolac is conveniently located just a short distance from the main square, making it a perfect spot for a quick visit or to enjoy a leisurely breakfast. There are also cafés and restaurants nearby where you can enjoy a coffee or a meal. Tips I recommend visiting Dolac early in the morning to avoid the crowds and have a chance to buy the best quality products. Also, bring cash, as many vendors do not accept cards. Conclusion Overall, Dolac Market is a place you must visit when in Zagreb. Not only will you find fresh and delicious products, but you will also experience the true local culture and tradition. It’s a place where you can connect with locals and enjoy the daily life of Zagreb.

We first came across the market as part of one of the free walking tours we took around the city. However we liked the look of it so much we decided to return to take a better look around. And I'm glad we did!
After a baking hot day we went looking amongst the stalls for something refreshing, and was not disappointed but the amount of choice and great value for money.
We ended up with a large bag of fresh peaches for only 5kuna, and they were stunning! Some of the best peaches we have ever had, full of flavour and juicy.
I would 100% recommend here for any of your greengrocer wants.

Farmers market with its iconic red umbrellas and filled with fresh fruits and vegetables. At the top of the stairs, don't miss the monument to kumica, a village woman dressed in folkloric costumes and with a basket on her head. It is a tribute to these working women from the outskirts of Zagreb who have been selling their own products, such as cornbread and eggs, for centuries in Dolac, the so-called “belly of Zagreb”.

This market in reading was supposed to be really vibrant and a big tourist spot in Zagreb.
I guess when we visited in March 2023 and it being the end of winter, it wasn't as vibrant as it would've been in the summer period.
The market was about a third full of stalls and was quite dirty with a lot of litter on the ground.
We had a look around and even bought some of the lovely fresh fruit on display which tasted really nice.
Their was a lot of locals around doing their grocery shopping and its always good to see how locals live.
A nice market but not as vibrant due to the period of the year we visited.

Right in the center of Zagreb, a few steps away from the cathedral and the main square – Trg bana Josipa Jelačića, you will find the local farmers’ market – Dolac.

This is the best place to buy fresh food from the local producers and even if the prices might be a bit higher it is still worth paying extra for the quality of the products.

The Dolac market has been part of the city’s scenery since 1930 and over the year it has become the major trading point in Zagreb where farmers from the surrounding villages came to sell their products.

In the upper, open-air part you can find fruits, vegetables or flowers and in the lower one, there’s meat, fish, or dairy products.

This is a large mainly open-air market near the central Jelacic Square in Zagreb. We aren't big shoppers but were in the area multiple times and looked around a little as we were nearby or walking through. There are lots of fruits and vegetables, as well as more touristy souvenirs to buy. It's hard to miss if you're walking anywhere through Zagreb.

The central square of the Old City has this wonderful market. With the mass of red umbrellas, it calls to the visitor. Just walking through puts a smile on your face. We saw lots of fruits, nuts, mushrooms, and other produce. There are vendors that sell crafts and local home made items. We wandered through and picked up enough goodies at reasonable prices to have lunch at the cathedral fountain just around the corner. By the way, they also have very nice restrooms. Surrounding the market are some local bakeries where you can get a drink or roll to round off your lunch. A market is always the best way to know local people.

Right in the heart of Zagreb, roam through this colorful farmer's market, just up a set of stairs from Ban Jelacic Square, is a feast for the senses. Dolac is often referred to as "the belly of Zagreb" by locals. Under the iconic red umbrellas are stalls with fresh fruits and vegetables. The vendors are very warm, always wanting to try the fruits. I love the sweet Mandarin Oranges and pomegranates. Head downstairs to the covered market where you'll find butcher stalls, cheeses and dried fruits.

Love going to the local farmers market when traveling. This is always a great way to learn the the culture a d see how the local live. This is must place to visit.

The market is located a few minutes walk from where we stayed, even tough we didn’t buy anything it is worth visiting. It is colourful and the locals say it is the best place to buy fresh food from local producers. A few steps away you have the amazing cathedral and the main square.
