This peripatetic format (a stroll, a walking lecture, observation while walking) will make you acquainted with the basic urbanological settings of the Zagreb Fair and some excellent works of both modernist and vernacular architecture that are located there. On the other hand, a pop-up exhibition will enable insight into the architectonic works that once existed on the premises or the less visible details of the existing ones.
The walk ends with the visit to the exhibition dedicated to Većeslav Holjevac, Zagreb mayor who deserves the most credit for both Zagreb Fair and New Zagreb.
