Grič Tunnel

Tunnel·Upper Town

A wartime shelter

About Grič Tunnel

During the Second World War a tunnel was dug beneath Gradec, the Upper Town, to shelter people from air raids. Restored and opened to the public in 2016, it is now a handy shortcut between Mesnička Street and Radićeva Street, refreshingly cool in summer, and sometimes a venue for exhibitions and events.

Why it's on our list

  • A wartime tunnel under the old town
  • A shortcut between Mesnička and Radićeva
  • Cool on a hot day

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Grič Tunnel before you go.
