Pod drvoredom kestena skulptura Antuna Gustava Matoša na najljepšem gornjogradskom šetalištu je jedna od najpoznatijih i najomiljenijih zagrebačkih skulptura. Iz „matoševe perspektive“ se pruža pogled na skoro cijeli grad uključujući i kuću njegovih roditelja koja se nalazi u Jurjevskoj Ulici. Djelo je kipara Ivana Kožarića, izrađena od aluminija i to konveksno-konkavne mase te je postavljena na šetalište 1978. godine.
Iako nije rođen u Zagrebu, Antun Gustav Matoš (1873. – 1914.) "Bunjevac porijeklom, Srijemac rodom, a Zagrepčanin odgojem", iznimno je volio i cijenio grad Zageb. Bez dlake na jeziku piše feljtone, putopise, kritike i polemike kojima šokira i oduševljava suvremenike, a njegova lirika jedan je od najvrjednijih opusa hrvatske književnosti. Saznaj te više o A. G. Matošu ovdje.
Gornjogradsko šetalište, uređeno sredinom XIX. stoljeća te nešto kasnije nazvano imenom biskupa Josipa Jurja Strossmayera, izgrađeno je dobrovoljnim prilozima građana. Ovu romantičnu šetnicu obronaka Gornjega grada, s koje se pruža neopisiv pogled na cijeli Zagreb može se doći Zakmardijevim stubama ili najstarijim javnim gradskim prijevoznim sredstvom – uspinjačom, inače, najkraćom žičnom željeznicom na svijetu. Kada se već nađete u blizini, nemojte propustiti posjetiti još jednu zagrebačku atrakciju – kulu Lotrščak iz koje svakoga dana, pucanj iz gričkog topa označava podne.
