Zagreb’s largest farmer’s market, Dolac, is the belly of the city and the social glue of its citizens. Back in 1930, when the market first emerged in what was then an age-battered residential area, few believed that Dolac would become the must-visit place both for fresh food and a bit of a chinwag. Initially the market concentrated on produce from local farmers and nearby villages. Since then, Dolac has grown into a gastronomic heaven flaunting food from all over Croatia. It’s the place to buy Zagorje cottage cheese and cream, mandarins from the Neretva valley, lemons from the island of Vis, Istrian olive oil, cherries from Zadar and Slavonian-reared meat. The stalls on the upper, open-air level of the market are decked out with characteristic red parasols featuring a striped motif that is typical of the Zagreb region. Immediately to the north, Petrica Kerempuh Square hosts a colourful flower market.
