Thankfully, planning a visit to Zagreb just got a lot easier with the launch of the new website by the Zagreb Tourist Board, Pets of Zagreb.

In this regard, I’m particularly pleased that with this website, we further highlight our city as a recognizable destination that extends a warm welcome to visitors with pets, a commitment we will solidify at the end of April with the hosting of the World Dog Show 2024 at the Zagreb Fair,” stated Martina Bienenfeld, Director of the Zagreb Tourist Board.
