About this venue
Hipodrom Zagreb is more than a sporting venue—it’s one of the city’s most recognizable open-air event spaces. As Zagreb’s historic racetrack, it’s closely linked to equestrian sport, yet it has also become a go-to “big-stage under the sky” location for major concerts, festivals, and large-scale gatherings—ideal when an event needs room to breathe and a true sense of spectacle.
Inside, the experience feels distinctly different from an arena: expansive sightlines, an airy atmosphere, and crowd energy that carries naturally across a large outdoor setting. Event layouts typically feature clearly marked zones, food and drink points, and practical on-site amenities, helping the flow stay smooth even when attendance is high.
You’ll find the venue at Ul. Radoslava Cimermana 5, Zagreb, Croatia. Access is usually guided through well-signposted entry points around the perimeter; nearby parking options and public transport stops make it easier to reach the gates.

About the city
Zagreb, Croatia’s lively capital, is not only the country’s administrative and cultural heart, but also an increasingly popular European destination for top-tier sports and music events. The city blends a relaxed Central European feel with the energy of a modern metropolis, so going to a concert or a match is often just the start of the overall experience. Visitors are drawn by the variety of programs, the welcoming atmosphere in vibrant neighborhoods, and a wide choice of places to enjoy before and after the event.
One of Zagreb’s biggest advantages is its practical, easy-to-navigate infrastructure: the network of Zagreb Electric Tram (ZET) lines and buses quickly connects you to key city points, including arenas and stadiums, without complicated transfers. If you arrive by train, Zagreb Glavni kolodvor sits close to the center and links smoothly with public transport, while for air travel the main gateway is Zračna luka Franjo Tuđman Zagreb (Zagreb Franjo Tuđman Airport). If you travel by coach, Autobusni kolodvor Zagreb makes arrivals even easier, and thanks to solid connections, reaching most event venues remains straightforward and fast.
When you’re not in the stands or the crowd, Zagreb offers a great “tourist bonus”: stroll across Ban Jelačić Square, explore the historic Upper Town and Kaptol, then head down to the promenades and terraces in the center where the city’s rhythm is at its best. For outdoor downtime, there’s Jarun and Maksimir, and along the Sava River it’s easy to slow down before an evening out. Add the city’s well-known coffee culture, diverse food scene, and accommodation for every budget, and you get a place where an event naturally turns into a weekend escape or a short city break.
