The Gric tunnel is one of the most visited attractions in Zagreb. It's a great place to soak WW2 history, where guests can stroll through the tunnel and experience the history of the site. The tunnel lies under the hill of Gornji Grad, and guests can access it right next to the Zagreb Funicular. The tunnel was devised as a public bomb shelter in 1943 and is open to the public through a pedestrian route, which can lead out to different city streets. One can book a war tour and explore these sites.
