Over the course of twelve days, six hidden Upper Town courtyard oases will be opened

And this year, in accordance with the slogan Everyone has their own story… DVORIŠTA tell stories about Zagreb that you have never experienced before.

During 12 unforgettable days – from July 12 to 23 – visitors have a unique opportunity to peek behind the facades of some of Zagreb's most beautiful palaces and experience the magical ambiance of these unique upper town spaces.

But there is also a lot of good urban entertainment waiting for them, because in Dvorište they can refresh themselves with delicious snacks, refreshing sips and have a good time with first-class musical performers and live concerts from jazz to pop.

Locations

The courtyards bring two locations premiered in 2019 as part of the National House of HAZU: the upper representative courtyard on Opatička (Opatička 18) and the lower, hidden and special one, overlooking Radićeva Street (Dvoranski prečac 1) .

Last year, as part of the Courtyard, we first discovered the Courtyard of the Observatory in Popovo tower (on the top of Opatička) , as well as the Archaeological Garden, the northern courtyard of the Zagreb City Museum (with an entrance from the courtyard of the Observatory). This year, after many years, we are returning the Atrium of the Zagreb City Museum with the oldest sundial wall clock in Zagreb (Opatička 20) to the Dvorište itinerary.

And there is last year's hit-location again, the beautiful Courtyard of Erdödy-Keglević Palace at Ćirilometodska 4 , which today houses one of the residences of the Faculty of Law, and was once the last home of the leader of the Croatian Revival, Ljudevit Gaj, and the site of his famous Illyrian printing house.

Music

The courtyards remain true to their agenda and maintain their status as a true summer stage for young musical talents. Pava Ćorić, Noa Rupčić, Vjekoslav Vostrel, Jakob Grubišak, Lucija & Luka, Nina Herr, Karla Krmpotić , it's hard to list them all… But it is important to emphasize the following: we are talking about as many as 60 musical programs, therefore, as many as 5 parallel concerts each evenings throughout all 12 days.

The daily programs will be published a few days in advance on the event's social networks, so the organizers invite all interested parties to follow them. The event is open every day from 18:00 to 24:00 , and entrance to all areas is – free!

From July 12 to 23, we'll see you at Gornji grad – Get hooked on Dvorište!
