For visitors
In addition to a rich programme of events spotlighting Croatia’s cultural heritage, the National and University Library in Zagreb (NSK) offers visitors and the general public guided tours of its spaces and collection. Come and visit Croatia’s largest library!
Apart from taking you through one of Zagreb’s most recognisable buildings, whose impressive spaces total 44,432 sq metres, our guided tours uncover many interesting stories from more than 400 years of the Library’s history.
Also, they bring closer to our visitors the Library’s rich holdings and collections, in which the Library preserves the invaluable treasures of Croatian and the world’s cultural heritage and scientific legacy.
