Hello! We will be in Zagreb May 1 next year. Trying to decide if we should travel that day or stay in Zagreb? Is everything closed up for the holiday or is it worthwhile to spend the day there? Thanks so much for your help! I can’t find anything relevant on the internet!

Zagreb is a fabulous city and a wonderful surprise. Places to visit are: The Museum of Naïve Art, Dolac open-air fruit & veggie market, Garden Brewery, St Mark's Church, Zagreb Cathedral and stroll Tkalčićeva Street. Tourist attractions should be in full swing.

See Zagreb while it’s not yet being overtouristed.
Croatia Airlines just this year added flights from around Europe into Zagreb. My guess is it won’t be the same relatively undiscovered destination in a couple years.

I’m just concerned about May 1 being a national holiday. I’m wondering if everything will be closed, in which case maybe it would be a better day to travel to our next destination?

According to AI, the touristy areas will be operating as normal on May 1st.

Stop using AI. It is wrong. Most museums, attractions, shops will be closed on holidays. Of the ones listed St Mark's Church is closed essentially permanently due to security reasons and cathedral is still closed for renovation and will be for awhile.
