Backo mini express - Mini Train Museum in Zagreb
Backo mini express - Mini Train Museum in Zagreb is a place you must visit if you are on a trip to Zagreb with children. And if you have rented an apartment, room or holiday house in Zagreb in the city centre, you will not have to take a long walk to this charming museum on Gundulićeva street near the main square and the famous Ilica street. Is there a child, regardless of gender, who did not play with trains at some point in his childhood, who did not lay rails or just push mini models on the dusty parquet floors of his parents flat or the handrails of the stairs of houses. Trains have been an obsession for many, and why this is so is clear when entering the Mini Train Museum in Zagreb. Without a love for models and modeling of trains, with a long series of hours, days, months and years dedicated to landscaping and joining long rails, there would not be this amazing exhibition - year after year the exhibition space grows and now Backo can boast the fifth largest model in Europe, with 150 trains on 1,500 tracks. The roar of trains ascending over wooded passes, emerging from tunnels and touring miniature cities and stations, will not leave even adults indifferent, and not only wagons and locomotives move - there are miniatures of skiers descending down the snowy slope, including the figures of Janica and Ivica Kostelić. The exibition of Antun Urbić, called Backo, is only growing since 2015, and you can see it at the address Gundulićeva 4. You can shop for some models there as well.
