How to Get to Zagreb Synagogue#

Tips for Visiting Zagreb Synagogue#
- Look for the bronze plaque and the carved Star of David at the synagogue's former site on Praška Street - local Zagreb guides still point them out.
- Visit on a weekday morning when the surrounding Kaptol neighborhood is quiet; the memory walk between the municipal Jewish cemetery and the synagogue site is especially solemn then.
- The Jewish community center nearby sometimes hosts exhibitions or concerts - check local event listings in advance.
