"Dolac (pronounced [dɔ̌lat͡s]) is a renowned farmers' market located in the Gornji Grad - Medveščak city district of Zagreb, Croatia. It is the most visited and well-known market in Zagreb, celebrated for its unique combination of an open-air market with traditional stalls and a sheltered market below. Just a few dozen meters from Ban Jelačić Square, Dolac is nestled between the historic parts of Zagreb, Gradec and Kaptol. This central location makes it easily accessible and a vibrant hub of daily activity right behind the town’s main square.
Since 1930, the daily market has been the city’s primary trading place, situated on a raised square accessed by a set of stairs from Jelačić Square. Farmers from the surrounding villages gather to sell their homemade foodstuffs, along with the freshest fruits and vegetables. The covered market downstairs houses butchers, fishmongers, and vendors offering the local specialty, sir i vrhnje (cheese and cream). Additionally, flowers and lace are widely available, adding to the market's vibrant atmosphere. The renovated fish market, ribarnica, is particularly popular, providing fresh seafood every day except Monday. Dolac Market stands as a testament to Zagreb's rich agricultural tradition and remains a beloved destination for both locals and tourists."

"These markets are magic and I can't recommend them enough! The fish market is the vibe, the big open-air piazza area with all the cafes around it makes it so nice to spend a few hours and then there is the underneath part with all the delis, dairy, bread and meat lives. I loved it."
