Zagreb flea market. Shopping in Zagreb. Flea markets and antiques in Zagreb

Today we'll talk about food. Dolac market is the most important in Zagreb. It is located in the very historical center, and not a single tourist who comes to the city can pass by it. There is no garbage on the market, everything is clean and tidy, and the sellers try to lay out their goods as beautifully as possible. Someone might think that this is done just for tourists. No, the bazaar is real, and pensioners from the nearest quarters buy there.

By the way, "dolaz" is translated from Croatian as "depression". In fact, everything turned out to be very cheerful and welcoming.

1. When you see Dolac for the first time, it seems that this market is very old. In fact, it was opened in 1930, on the site of the old city walls, which were destroyed. This is evidenced by the name of the street that leads to the market - Pod Zidom. It has nothing to do with Jews, and translates as "Under the Wall".

2. In the market you can find all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and many products are produced by the sellers themselves. Watermelons and melons, of course, are brought from other places, here are Spanish melons, for example. And not sweet. I haven't tried the watermelon, but I liked that they are sold here already cut, choose the piece you need and go home to eat.

3. There is no place for rotten vegetables and fruits in the Dolac market. Not only does this repel buyers, the market administration can fine the seller if he puts rotten meat on the counter. If it goes bad, it means to the trash!

4.

5. When the city walls were demolished, they began to think about what to place there. Nowadays it would be built here shopping center, then confined themselves to its analogue in the fresh air.

6. These red awnings are Dolac's trademark. Almost the same were from the very beginning.

7. The system of the market is no different from the Russian one. You are a farmer, young and successful, want to sell your lovely tomatoes and plums? Come, pay rent for a place - and go ahead, develop your small business.

8. Is it just worth talking about the fact that there is no bandit roof here, checks of SES and firefighters?

9. Most of the sellers and market visitors are elderly people. Along the perimeter of Dolac, in the first floors of houses on the square, there are dozens of cafes and bakeries where sellers and buyers can dine. Coffee costs about 30 rubles, and this is real, brewed coffee.

10. All vegetables are beautiful, but don't think that they are nitrate.

11. Farmers often arrange contests for who will be more interesting to lay out their goods.

12. Bargaining on the market is not only possible, but even necessary.

13.

14.

15. They sell not only vegetables, but also dairy products. Several days a week there is a meat row, but I could not see it. And closer to dinner the flower-growers come.

16.

17. Traditional Croatian bakery. Cheap and sooo tasty!

18. I will tell you more about bakeries in a separate post about food in the Balkans.

19. In the market, no one will forbid you to take pictures, the security guard will not come running, and people will not turn away. I was very surprised that many even thank you for taking a picture of them. These Croats are wild people, aren't they?
