Zagreb
Croatia
A city with a million hearts. Zagreb has managed to preserve its soul as well as its cultural and historical heritage.
Zagreb lies on the intersection between the Adriatic coast and Central Europe. It is the hub of Croatia's business, academic, cultural, artistic, and sporting worlds. Start with the Baroque atmosphere of Zagreb's Upper Town, but don't stop there. Check out the open-air markets, impressive architecture, museums, and tasty cuisine. Zagreb is a city of green parks and walks. It has a horseshoe of urban greenery that starts at Ban Josip Jelacic Square. There are also many places to visit in the city's beautiful surroundings.
Gornji grad (Upper Town) and Donji grad (Lower Town) are the hubs of Zagreb. There you'll find most of the restaurants, bars, and tourist sights. Zagreb started as two medieval fortress towns overlooking the Sava River. It had a renaissance in the Baroque period, when it became a trading center thanks to its strategic location. Despite its bustle, Zagreb reveres its past. The city's mix of medieval towers, palaces, squares, and churches makes it a lovely place to explore. You'll love Zagreb, and we recommend it for any Croatian vacation. It's the perfect place to start or end an Adriatic trip.
What we love about Zagreb

As Croatia's capital, Zagreb is always very lively, but my favourite time in Zagreb is spring. As a very green city with lots of parks and people with flowers everywhere, it's an extremely beautiful time of year. Magnolia trees everywhere, their petals flying around on a light breeze, and the whole city living outside, on the streets, in cafes, markets, it's like everything wakes up at once. And, despite being a big city, Zagreb has the fragrance of the thousands of roses people plant in their yards and on their balconies.

I love how harmoniously evidence of different historical periods live together in Zagreb. The small historical houses in the Old Town make you feel like being in a town, while the main square helps you feel the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. This complexity is reflected by its gastronomy and cultural scene, and a special vibe that's hard to describe. You should go there and feel it.

Zagreb is home to one of Europe's best Christmas Markets, but also makes for an amazing destination in the summer, with its lively city squares and cafe/bar-filled streets. The capital of Croatia offers many do-not-miss historical attractions.
