We arrived here by a recomendation. At first we ended up going to the crematorium which was actually amazing, the peace you feel in this outdoor space is undescribable. The cementery is very nice also

I go couple of times a year but always end up taking nice little walks along the arcades admiring their state (they are starting to look like the romantic historical ruins) and it is one of the few places where there is peace and quiet (no pun intended).

A well kept cemetery, with beautiful architecture, plantings and decorations.The cemetery inters members of all religious groups. Famous Croats are buried here, and it helps if you know a bit of Croatian history. A peaceful area full of magnificent graves and sculptures, the most beautiful part of Zagreb!

Well worth a visit. This beautifully maintained cemetery boast magnificent family history and architecture. With some of the most decorative graves and crypts we have ever seen. The grounds are beautifully maintained with majestic old trees lining the pathways and a magnificent historic wall surrounding the grounds.

Zagreb cemetery is truly magnificent, huge cascades adorn its entry-My objection relates to development and maintenance of the graves that were neglected and untidy

You haven't seen Zagreb if you haven't seen this cemetary! Don't go there without documentation form the tourist office: "Mirogoj" 84 pages of information. Don't be silly or too courageous: just get to the cathedral and get on a bus there; DON'T get on a tram at Jelacica, which is said to bring you there also... Correct, 4 stops, but... More

The cemetery is composed of beautiful arcades and well-maintained family plots. The famous and not-so-famous are here. What is touching is that there are no distinctions for religious preference here; a Muslim, a Christian, an athetist, a Jew--no matter what, they are all together. A tribute to Zagreb's citizens recognizing what matters most--remembrance.

Cemeteries from all around the world can be ashamed! Mirogoj is an architectural master-piece. Arcades from famous Croatian sculpture Herman Bolle are beyond beautiful.. Such peaceful area full of magnificent graves and sculptures are the most beautiful part of Zagreb! Must see!

Such a peaceful place. A cemetery. Many local folks come to the cemetery, not only to honor the dead but also to have a nice relaxing walk.
