Lotrščak Tower & Zagreb Funicular
Kula Lotrščak / Uspinjača
A 13th-century city defense tower that fires a cannon every day at noon, next to one of the world's shortest public funiculars.
Lotrščak Tower was built in the 13th century. Since 1877, its Grič cannon has been fired every day at noon, and visitors often gather at the foot of the tower to wait for the "noon gun." From the top, you can look out over the rooftops of Lower Town. The funicular beside the tower is only 66 meters long and takes about one minute to connect Ilica Street with Upper Town. The fare is low, and the ride is fun to try at least once. Right in front of the tower is Strossmayer Promenade.
Opening hours
Tower approx. 9:00 am–9:00 pm; cable car approx. 6:30 am–10:00 pm
