OIV Tower on Sljeme is one of the symbols of Zagreb. It is located at the very top of the Medvednica Nature Park and is also the highest tourist point in the capital city of Croatia.

As part of the tower, the new Sljeme 360° open-air observation deck has opened at an altitude of 1118 meters. It is an excellent choice for a day trip, as well as for enjoying nature and experiencing the city from a bird’s-eye view.

Moreover, you will surely capture some of the most beautiful photos here, which will serve as lasting memories. From the observation deck, you can enjoy a mesmerizing and unique 360° view of the stunning nature of Medvednica, forests, meadows, and ski resorts, mountain lodges, as well as panoramic views of Zagreb, the Croatian Zagorje region, and the Slovenian Alps.
