Capital of Croatia
by IngaA
As a capital city, Zagreb represents the whole country. It bears Croatian spirit and seems to combine some features from all the areas of the country.
The Medieval area of Zagreb is called "Upper town". It's dominated by a beautiful church with tile roof. Tiles are of different colours and the pattern on the church rool represents Croatian national flag.

You must visit 'Saloon',park Zrinjevac, and of course the most important place in the whole town:Jelaèiæ-square. When I'm away from Zagreb,I miss Zrinjevac the most. It's beautiful there in summer.Everything's green and full of flowers.When the night comes, it's great place to bring girls to.
The Saxophonist
by antistar
An amazing find, just off the main square. A quiet little arcade, on the corner of Bogoviceva and Preradovicev Try, that is beautifully tiled and lights up like a grotto on a sunny day. The arcade has two corridors that enter and center on a small dome in the middle, which is airy and bright from the soft light that filters through the coloured glass. It has phenomenal accoustics, attested to by the saxophonist whose haunting notes drifted down through the corridors, like Courtney Pine in Angel Heart, drawing me into the center. The saxophonist had obviously picked a great spot, because although the arcade was underdeveloped, and it was a quiet Sunday of closed shops, the echoing soulful notes just drew in unsuspecting music lovers and left them with no alternative to hand over some cash for the amazing performance.
Zagreb and its parks
by Daja123
There are many parks in Zagreb, actually it might be cold the green town. Everywhere you walk around there is at least one greeen corner with flowers foliage and the fountain. Maksimir, Tuškanac and Ribnjak, the huge city parks inside the town, are coloquialy called by the locals as the "pulmons of the town". Maksimir has 18 hectars of lush greenery and forest, opened to the public in 1794 and was the first of its kind in this part of Europe. It is the perfect spot for a half day outing.
