- Dolac (Zagreb): The market is above the main square at the foot of Old Town but it is more than just a place to buy fruit and veggies. This urban market is a crossroads where people come to see and be seen; to trade gossip; and to relax with a cup of coffee. Early morning is the best time to visit because that's when the bread is freshest, the displays the prettiest, and the people the most interesting.
- Pazarin (Split): Pazarin is reminiscent of a Turkish bazaar in looks, sounds, and smells. Booths and tables line both sides of Hrvojeva Street outside the east wall of Diocletian's Palace from the Riva to the Silver Gate. You'll find the usual assortment of produce plus a large variety of textiles and some of the most persuasive vendors anywhere.
- Bjelovar's (Bjelovar): This market is quite civilized and partially covered. It is noteworthy as the place where farmers from Croatia's agricultural belt bring their best produce, dairy products, fish, and meat every day. The market is at its busiest from 7am to noon, but a few vendors stay open until 6pm or so. The later it gets, the lower the prices go.
