If you wish to fill your days with adventure and adrenaline, there are many options for you to choose from. Despite being a continental town, it sure offer<\/span><b> a lot of opportunities for fun experiences in water: you can go rafting, kayaking, and canoeing on rivers Kupa and Mreznica<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Even if you are a beginner, it is a very safe trip because the local guide will make sure to accompany you at all times and keep you entertained even if you don\u2019t want to jump or go through the falls in the kayaks. It is intended for visitors of all ages and levels of experience, all of which are sure to have fun as well as enjoy a somewhat different view of Croatia\u2019s landscape. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you do not want to leave the city, we highly recommend <\/span><b>hiking on Medvednica<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, all the way to Sljeme hilltop, which is a favourite pastime of both locals and tourists. The reward awaits you at the top, where you can have <\/span><b>an astonishing view of the whole city<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There are also numerous other hiking and running trails in Zagreb, or not so far from the city. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those who prefer exploring the city on bike, there are many <\/span><b>bike rentals available<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You can also go to <\/span><b>a cycling tour of the city<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where you can visit all the main sights and attractions accompanied by the local guide. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are interested in climbing, you can choose whether you wish to go <\/span><b>rock climbing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or you prefer to do it indoors. <\/span><b>Fothia is the place to go for indoor climbing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: it offers a safe space to practice bouldering or climbing under a careful eye of the supervisors. Even some professional sportsmen come to train here, but do not let that discourage you: the colour &#8211; coded trails allow the beginners to have fun within their own limits. The hall is located outside of the city center, near the football center \u0160alata. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If all of the above is not as exciting to you, perhaps <\/span><b>paragliding <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will satisfy your adrenaline cravings. It is one of those experiences that you will never be able to forget. There are several options you can choose from. One flight lasts from 20 to 60 minutes, averaging around 40 minutes. Once you have let go of your fear, you will be able to enjoy a wonderful view you would never get to experience otherwise.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_Trip_From_Zagreb\"><\/span><strong>Day Trip From Zagreb<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you heard us right, <a href=\"https:\/\/Traveling.com\/en\/croatia-tours\">Traveling.com now offers tours!<\/a> If outdoor activities in Zagreb have not quenched your thirst for adventure, we have another offer!

Zinfandel\u2019s combines the local and international cuisine. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are looking for a cozy restaurant with intimate atmosphere that also offers top quality local ingredients, <\/span><b>Mano <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is the place to go.
