Running along the remains of Zagreb’s medieval defense walls and marking the southern border of the Upper Town (Gornji Grad), the Strossmayer Promenade is one of the city’s liveliest and most scenic walkways. Named after the famous 19th century Croatian bishop and politician Josip Juraj Strossmayer, the romantic terraced promenade is shaded by towering chestnut trees and its scenic lookouts offer expansive views over the Lower Town below. The easiest way to reach the promenade is by the funicular railway which runs from Tomićeva Street, close to the central Bana Jelačića Square, and despite being one of the shortest funiculars in the world, riding the 66-meter long track is a quintessential Zagreb experience.
