Among the main tourist attractions are the New Jelačić Palace, one of the best-preserved feudal estates in Croatia.

For culture and heritage lovers, we recommend a visit to the Matija Skurjeni Museum, dedicated to the local poet, and the bronze statue of the writer Ante Kovačić in the city center. For outdoor activities, there are numerous hiking trails on nearby Medvednica or the surrounding hills, groomed bike paths, paragliding or golf on the picturesque PAR 3 course.
