Things To Do
in Dugo Selo

Capture daily life, architecture, street cafés and the parish church; good for candid portraits and atmospheric evening shots.

Excellent for landscape and wildlife photography — marshes, meadows, traditional wooden houses and migratory birds during the season.

Classic small-town railway vistas with trains heading to Zagreb; evocative for industrial-rural contrast photography, particularly at golden hour.

Well-preserved rural architecture and farm scenes offer rustic, authentic frames — especially photogenic during harvest or festive events.

Small market stalls selling seasonal fruits, vegetables, cheeses and homemade preserves—ideal for sampling fresh local produce and buying picnic supplies.

Many bakeries offer fresh breads, burek or sweet pastries in the morning; great for a quick breakfast while exploring.

A firm handshake and eye contact are standard for initial meetings; use titles and surnames for older people until invited to use first names.

Show politeness to older generations and be respectful at churches and memorials—dress modestly when visiting religious sites.

Locals are hospitable; if invited to a home, bringing a small gift (wine, sweets or flowers) is appreciated. Expect offers of food and drink and polite refusal a few times before accepting.

For social gatherings, slight flexibility is common, but for business or transport connections punctuality is important.

Tipping around 5–10% in restaurants is customary for good service; rounding up the bill at cafés and taxis is fine. For small services (like coat checks or help with luggage) a small tip is appreciated but not expected.

Croatia uses the euro; debit and credit cards are widely accepted in shops and restaurants, but small vendors and market stalls may prefer cash. Contactless payments and mobile wallets are increasingly common—carry some cash for rural or smaller purchases.

Mild temperatures, blooming fields and excellent birdwatching in Lonjsko polje. Weather can be changeable—bring layers and waterproof gear for occasional rain.

Warm to hot days, ideal for cycling and long outdoor excursions; expect more tourists in nearby Zagreb. Heatwaves can occur, so carry water and plan active outings for mornings or evenings.

Pleasant temperatures, harvest season and colourful landscapes — a great time for food-focused travel and photography. Some facilities may reduce hours as the tourist season winds down.

Cold, sometimes snowy weather with quieter streets and cosy indoor dining; nearby Zagreb provides more cultural events if you want more activity. Roads can be icy—dress warmly and check transport schedules.

Gentle walking routes and birdwatching trails through wetlands and meadows; best for nature lovers and photographers.

Hilly area southeast of Dugo Selo offering marked trails, forested areas and panoramic viewpoints — suitable for moderate hikes.

A short drive north toward Zagreb brings you to Medvednica mountain with more extensive hiking options, forest walks and winter activities near Sljeme.

West of Zagreb, these hills provide scenic trails, traditional villages and varied terrain for day hikes within an hour’s drive.
