Zagreb has experienced a massive surge in winter tourism recently, with local hotels reaching eighty percent capacity. During the initial weeks of the festivities, occupancy rates for accommodation in the capital even climbed above ninety percent. Officials expect the roughly one hundred forty stalls selling gifts and food to generate around half a million euros in total earnings. Global publications like Forbes and National Geographic have highlighted the city as a top seasonal destination. The local tourist board and Croatia Airlines have teamed up to offer special travel packages for visitors coming from cities such as Sarajevo, Dubrovnik, and Skopje.
Travelers using the national carrier can now access a program called Stopover Zagreb, which provides guided tours and hotel discounts for short stays. Passengers on these flights are also being treated to a menu named Tastes of Zagreb, featuring traditional items like poppy seed rolls and pumpkin seed crackers. The director of the airline, Slaven Žabo, mentioned that these initiatives are designed to make the capital a primary choice for regional city breaks. With twenty-five different holiday locations across the city, the event includes open-air concerts and a dedicated Christmas tram. By combining historical charm with modern transit deals, the city has maintained its status as a major international holiday hub.
