As a Zagreb settlement of recent history, Jarun and Vrbani do not abound in cultural sights such as the Lower and Upper Towns. The culture of these neighborhoods is contemporary and is based on sports, entertainment, and recreation. Jarun is also a venue for many events, especially during the summer.

Apart from the festival on Jarun, you can also enjoy other rich content such as a summer open-air cinema, various sports competitions, concerts and the like.
Apart from sports and recreation, the Jarun shores are known for the murmur from some of the most beautiful cafes and restaurants in Zagreb, which turn into a hot dance floor in the evening. Naturally, we would single out the beautiful elite club Gallery of the clubs, while not far from it is the legendary Aquarius. Jarun restaurants Lido and Helena will always offer you freshly prepared and delicious food in a pleasant ambiance. At the same time, Vrbani hides the charming bistro Alegri and excellent restaurants Umami and Spizzu.

The Jarun recreational sports center is often associated with rowing on a regatta track 2250 meters long. Still, you can have fun on dry land in the greenery surrounding this water surface.

You can also use sunny and warm days on one of the sandy volleyball courts or on the beaches of this Zagreb sea, of which as many as five beaches have been awarded the 'Blue Flag' label, which guarantees their cleanliness and equipment.
