Zagreb’s workshop scene provides practical, hands-on experiences that connect visitors with local culture. Traditional craft classes include ceramics-making and hand-sculpting in plaster, while modern offerings feature sewing sessions paired smartly with wine tastings. Photography tours stand out for combining technical instruction with guided exploration of the city’s finest architecture.
We especially love the small-group ceramics workshops for their authentic approach and the photography tours for their mix of sightseeing and skills training. The wine-paired craft sessions offer great value by combining two memorable experiences.
