The story of Tkalčićeva Street

Tkalčićeva follows the course of a stream that once separated two medieval settlements, Gradec and Kaptol, which later joined to form Zagreb. The stream was covered over in the 19th century.

Its low, brightly painted houses are now full of cafés and small shops, making it Zagreb's favourite place for an evening stroll.
