Postcard from the stars
by caribou_ire
If you like sitting down, and you like squares, you´ll love Zagreb. Most of the 4days i was there I spent sitting in a collection of different squares, eating icecream, just watching all the interesting people walk by. Although not very eventful, its something i won´t forget for a while.

LOWER TOWN: the heart and the soul of the city! Except for the numerous shopping centers and caffes (which are very popular in Zagreb) you will find there a great deal of historical buildings, museums, churches etc...
There are numerous green areas,like 'Lenuzzi's green horseshoe' (the area covered by the central parks of Zagreb, in the shape of a horseshoe), Botanical GArden )over 10 000 species of plants), Maksimir park (ideal for walk near lakes or in the ZOO), Jarun lake (so called 'Zagreb sea')
You shouldn't miss the Cathedral, Croatian National theatre, Mimara museum, National Universty Library, the Old town (full of history!) and the main Ban Jelacic square....
The NEW ZAGREB: the part of town which was build after World war II, on the right side of river Sava.
Its' buildings are result of the modern architecture.
Some Stops...
by coceng
The night bus that I took from Zagreb made some stops along the way...So sad that I did go out from the bus, to smoke, to eat, to drink, to the toilet etc... but not able to take any night photos...I knew the capabilities of my cheap camera.
Once the sun arised, the bus did make 1 or 2 more stops...so I had the chance to take a pic or 2.
I don't know this area, anybody would want to try a guess, feel free to drop me a line...
The trams at the central square
by zrim
Trams seem to be arriving and departing every 30 seconds or so at Trg bana Josipa Jelacica. I would have liked to jump on a tram and seen some other parts of Zagreb, but I was afraid that I'd get hopelessly lost. Judging from the other tips I have seen on VT, I made the right choice.
