🐾 Wildlife 🌲 Forest 🏘️ Town 🌲 Nature reserve 🗼 LandmarkZagreb is the capital of Croatia, located in the north between Mount Medvednica (1035 m.) and the river Sava. Zagreb has been the cultural centre of the country since the Middle Ages and it continues to be an excellent destination from a cultural, artistic, monumental point of view... A beautiful city on a human scale, as interesting as Dubrovnik or Split, Zagreb is ideal for a city-break or a short stay, or to stop for a few days on the Adriatic coast. Zagreb is a really quiet and vibrant city at the same time, full of life, with charms that you have to discover little by little, forgetting the time. The charm of Zagreb lies first of all in its Old Town, or Upper Town (Gornji grad), perched on a hill accessible by a funicular or stairs. The Upper Town (Gorniji grad) of Zagreb was formed in the 17th century by the merger of two towns, Gradec and Kaptol, which are now parts of the city. Stroll through the old town with its colourful houses and lively cobbled streets and stop at the cafes and terraces to watch the people pass by. Visit also the Lower Town (Doni Grade), built in the 19th century, where the splendour of Austro-Hungarian architecture and monuments, in the romantic style, with its wide tree-lined avenues contrasting with socialist buildings, are mixed. This is the other attraction of the city of Zagreb: this magnificent contrast. Go to the Dolac market, with its red umbrellas, also full of life. Also the pedestrian streets on the main square of Ban Jelacic, where you will find many restaurants, cafés, shops, ... You will always find the terraces full. But Zagreb is also the city of museums and galleries, which are mostly in the historical city: the Museum of Decorative Arts, the Mimara Museum, the foundation of the sculptor Meśtrović, the City Museum, the Croatian History Museum, the Strossmayer Gallery, the Archaeological Museum, the Ethnographic Museum, the Museum of Techniques, the Museum of Broken Hearts, the Museum of Naive Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the New Lauba Museum,... But the most interesting thing is the combination of museums and a flourishing underground art that can be seen in galleries (Nova Galerija, Ulupuh, Klovicevi Dvori,...) and concept-stores (Filijo, Prostor, WHW,...), the participative street art museum. Zagreb, a city full of vibrant artistic life.
