About this audio guide
This guide to Strossmayer Promenade in Zagreb follows the poet Antun Gustav Matoš, a rebel and a dreamer who was not born in the city but wrote its bohemian life into his newspaper columns, and his habit of reading the paper over coffee in a Viennese-style café beside this walk. It also touches the citizens who paid for the promenade in the nineteenth century. Best heard from the shaded benches facing out over downtown.
