All of them have a really recognizable Karlovac charm! All generations can enjoy the rich facilities on the promenade from the Frog monument to the new Music Pavilion and the city theater Zorin Dom. And taking photos at interesting photo spots is a must. My favorite is the Katzler pavilion. I definitely recommend visiting Advent in Karlovac, especially to people with kids who go on a day trip half an hour from Zagreb. In addition, they explore the sights of the city, and later enjoy the Christmas atmosphere of Advent in miniature&quot;, Daria assured us.<\/p> You can walk, sail and skate<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/divan.fyi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Ledeni-tobogan-i-malo-klizaliste.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56032\" src=\"https:\/\/divan.fyi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Ledeni-tobogan-i-malo-klizaliste.jpg\" alt=\"Ice slide and small ice rink\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/divan.fyi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Ledeni-tobogan-i-malo-klizaliste.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/divan.fyi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Ledeni-tobogan-i-malo-klizaliste-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/divan.fyi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Ledeni-tobogan-i-malo-klizaliste-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/divan.fyi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Ledeni-tobogan-i-malo-klizaliste-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p><p> This year, Advent in Karlovac offers an upgrade to the usual winter cultural, sports and entertainment events with an appropriate gastronomic offer. For example, this year&#39;s novelty is <strong>free skating<\/strong> at the City Ice Rink near the Sokolski dom and <strong>the ice slide<\/strong> in \u0160anac for the first skating steps of the youngest and absolute enjoyment of the joys of winter.<\/p><p> During the Advent weekends, the Association of Tourist Guides &quot;Bastion&quot; and the TZ of the city of Karlovac prepared specially designed <strong>Advent themed tours<\/strong> around Zvijezda. In an hour&#39;s walk along the most famous sights of Karlovac&#39;s core, visitors will learn how the city used to celebrate important days and holidays at the end of the old year and the beginning of the new year. They will thus remember Saint Barbara, the gifts of Saint Nicholas and customs for Saint Lucia. Stories about how the town used to be decorated during Advent, what decorations were put on the Christmas tree, what was on the holiday table and how it was prepared for midnight, will bring visitors back to the atmosphere of old customs in the Karlovac area.<\/p><p> In addition to walking along Zvijezda, visitors are also prepared for <strong>Advent rides on the \u017ditna la\u0111a<\/strong> , in the atrium of the Old Town of Dubovac, a must-see for romantics and lovers of old walls. Because what would Advent be in a city that lies on four rivers, if it did not offer unforgettable tours with mulled wine, pepper cakes and appropriate Advent stories during the sailing? \ud83d\ude42<\/p> A special part of the program dedicated to children<p>","post_date":"2022-12-17 11:34:42","post_modified":"2023-01-09 10:28:34","featured_image":"https:\/\/divan.fyi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/posjetitelji-u-karlovcu-1.jpg","post_author":"Matina Ten\u017eera","categories":[{"name":"Advent","slug":"advent-en"}]}
