    Embark on a journey toward the Strossmayer Promenade, next to the Lotrščak Tower, and you will see one of Zagreb's best entertainment projects. Strossmartre is arguably the most spirited spot in town, thanks to everything from the abundance of summer festivals to the much-awarded Advent in Zagreb offering concerts, exhibitions, art workshops, and great wine and beer deals all year-round.

    Sitting in the Centar Kaptol shopping complex, Kaptol Boutique Cinema and Bar is wedged in an area with a serene, parklike atmosphere a 10-minute walk north of the cathedral. Most foreign films (including those from the United States) are shown in their original language with Croatian subtitles. The cinema features a handful of showing rooms which are each uniquely desgined, and grabbing a coffee or drink in the establishment's designer bar before or after your movie is a must.

    Located in a forested, hilly area, you would never think Tuškanac is part of Zagreb if you didn't know it. Over the summer, the 20th-century outdoor stage transforms into an open-air movie theater, airing a variety of flicks. The park is also home to a number of festivals, including the fun Pop-Up Summer Garden, which is centered around cool seating, food, and drink stands. The park also features a number of historic vacation villas once used by the city's artistocracy.
