This village is also the birthplace of Josip Broz Tito, the former president of Yugoslavia. His house, now a museum, contains original furniture, letters from foreign leaders, and memorabilia, with a life-sized bronze sculpture outside.

After pickup from your hotel in Zagreb, you’ll make the trip to Kumrovec, a preserved, open air museum village of 19th and 20th century homes.

You’ll also see his elementary school, arboretum where he hosted public figures, and a large bronze statue in his honor.

Antique homes, called hize, represent Croatia’s history. Each house tells a story of peasant life and craft, such as pottery, wheelwrights, blacksmithing, and toy making, which is a protected cultural heritage.

Unforgetable experience - The ethnic town/museum is spectacular: beautiful (nature and buildings) and perfectly preserved. I wanted to go because I am especially interested in Tito's history, but the museum is super interesting even if his house was not there, because it perfectly shows what life was like for Croatian villagers in the 19th century (mainly, but also 20th). The guide too, super nice; and after the visit to the ethnic village, he took me (I was alone) to an event in which different wine producers in the area presented their wines and competed for which was the best. There I was able to drink everything I wanted, eat some local food and listen to live music. Everything delicious, everything beautiful. I recommend 100%.
