Palić Zoo and the Lakeside Promenade

Why go

This Palić day suits families and anyone who wants a longer garden setting followed by a short architectural walk. Start at Palić Zoo and allow the animal enclosures and planted grounds most of the visiting time. Continue to Palić Water Tower, where the arched gateway marks a clear change of scene, then follow the park axis to Grand Terrace, Palić. Compare the tower’s vertical shape with the terrace’s broad timber structure before looking toward the lake. The two buildings are exterior stops, so the pace stays gentle after the zoo. Check zoo admission arrangements and leave this outing for weather that suits time outdoors.
