How to avoid the worst of it today
- The Museum of Broken Relationships At opening Small, strange collections that are never oversubscribed; Naive Art is next door.
- The Upper Town Before 10:00 Umbrellas and strudel, then up the funicular steps before the walking tours cluster.
- Tkalciceva Late morning Saturday's coffee ritual is the city's real spectacle; sit in it rather than dodge it.
Where the crowds are
- Tkalciceva's terraces at spica: Saturday's coffee hours pack the lane, by design.
- St Mark's photo railing: The tiled roof's brief semicircle of phones.
Quiet places in Zagreb
- The Green Horseshoe: A chain of park squares through the Lower Town.
- Mirogoj: The arcaded cemetery, always quiet.
