    Croatia's inland capital and cultural heart

    A city of grand Austro-Hungarian architecture and home to a multitude of museums and the majority of the country’s residents, inland Zagreb is Croatia‘s cultural hub. Legions of visitors have flocked to the city in recent years and yet Zagreb has managed to retain its old world charm, extending a warm and inviting welcome to all of its guests.

    The city can be roughly divided up into three historical parts. First up, is the thousand-year old “Gornji Grad” or “Upper Town” which contains the Presidential Palace, St Mark’s Church with its iconic roof, the “Sabor” or Croatian parliament, and a plethora of museums and galleries set on cobbled medieval streets lit by gas lamps. Next comes the 19th century “Donji Grad” or “Lower Town” which is full of shops, restaurants, cafes, theatres, and parks. Characterised by high-rise towers and mainly residential in nature, the newest part of the city is nearly entirely post World War II and is aptly named “Novi Zagreb” or “New Zagreb”.

    Enjoy your time in this lively little capital strolling the cobbled streets, watching the world go by in busy cafes and darting between collections in the many museums and galleries. You’ll also find that it’s a year-round outdoor city thanks to the presence of Jarun Lake in the southwest where people venture to swim and sail; Mount Medvednica where Zagrebians hit the ski slopes; and the hiking destination of Samobor. The otherworldly green and blue lakes of the Plitvice National Park are also easily accessible on day trips.
