A contemporary art gallery, located in a former textile mill, Lauba is a privately-owned gallery, opened in 2011 with Tomislav Klicko's private art collection. Since then, it has become a creative place and exhibition space for many Croatian and international contemporary artists.
Although it's located off the main tourist sites, Lauba is an interesting place to visit: the interior is lovely, temporary exhibitions change regularly, and there is a nice bistro with very decent food.

The Museum of Broken Relationships is quirky.
Besides, it's small and it has a nice café with WiFi, a good selection of coffees and teas, and homemade cookies.
So you really have no excuse to skip visiting at least this one when in Zagreb (see above for more details).

The Museum of illusions is located in Ilica Street.
Get lost in the maze of mirrors, watch people around you shrink or grow, have fun with many other optical illusions and brain teasers.
It's rather small but in our opinion a great place to visit with kids.

It is nice, it is close to the main square. It has lots of Gothic architectural elements. The embalmed body of the Cardinal Stepinac lies in a sarcophagus near the main altar. The interior is full of statues, paintings, and inscriptions in a Slavic script. Check how Matt from Landlopers got genuinely surprised by it.
In March 2020 after a strong earthquake, the Cathedral's spire was damaged and taken down.

Lake Jarun is an artificial lake located in the western part of the town. People of Zagreb love this lake, and it's one of the most popular recreational areas in the town. The lake is also a popular clubbing place for after dark.
You can jog, walk or cycle around the lake; you can swim in the lake during the summer, or have a picnic. If you are staying in Zagreb for more than a day, it's always a good idea to explore the town beyond its center.
Lake is easily reachable from the city center. Just hop on tram no. 17 or no. 5 and they will get you to the lake in 30 min.

Medvednica Mountain is located north of Zagreb, while its slopes are an integral part of the town. There are many hiking trails on the Medvednica, but probably the most popular hike that locals take is up to the Puntijarka mountain house, located at an elevation of 957 m, just below Sljeme, the highest peak of Medvednica.
The hike literally starts in the town, from the last tram station all the way up (no.14 from the main square; and then a no.15). On weekends the trails get busy with locals. However, if you aren't into hiking, you can also reach the summit by car or a city bus.
In Puntijarka you can have a simple traditional meal, like beans, or roasted potatoes, or a delicious apple pie. And the prices are very affordable.
Another popular hiking trail (because it's the least demanding, and close to the town) is Miroslavec trail that starts in Sestine and takes you to the Kraljicin Zdenac along and across the creek.
Kraljicin Zdenac is a small pond. Next to it there ate plenty of wooden tables and benches for a picnic and a rest. A bit higher there is a mountain house Lugareva kucica offering simple but delicious meals.
Other popular landmarks include remains of Medvedgrad, a medieval fortified town; caves and springs, like Veternica and Zdencec; chapels and churches; and a hotel Tomislavac.
If you like to feel like local, hiking should definitely be on your list of things to do in Zagreb.
