Why it is worth your time
Hidden between Ilica and Flower Square, the Oktogon is an opulent 1901 covered arcade with an octagonal centre under a glass dome. Marble, wrought iron and elegant shopfronts make it Zagreb's loveliest passage, easy to miss.
Croatia Atlas tip
Walk through it as a shortcut and look up at the glass dome, most people rush past without noticing.
