Fresh Flavors of Dolac Market in Zagreb
Dolac Market is an open-air farmers’ market in Zagreb called the “belly of Zagreb.”
Arriving at the market at 7:00 a.m., it is already a swarm of activities, as you will see local customers haggling for discounts and sellers yelling their prices. At the booths, fresh fish, fresh vegetables, and many regional cuisines are the perfect opportunity to try them all. Find out from a local their preferred regional food; they will fiercely suggest the well-known bread supper loaded with cheese. Trukli is one of the several comfort foods that highlight Zagreb’s cuisine.
Discover the treasure store of regional food that the lower level of the market offers. While butchers present pieces of meat, including the legendary Croatian pršut (prosciutto), fishermen provide daily catch from the Adriatic Sea. The air smells like smoked pork and freshly made sausages. Those who like cheese may find various regional variations reflecting their provenance, such as the tangy Pag cheese.
This market offers a wealth of traditional Croatian handicrafts and artisan works, ranging from pottery, wooden toys, embroidered linens, and unique keepsakes that reflect Croatia.
