Take the cablecar up to Slijememountain and have a 'taste' of Zagreb; the green of nature, the red of the roofs, the white of the houses and the reflection of the sun. Then walk up to Tomislav Dom Hotel and order a strukla (cooked pastry filled with fresh cheese) and a glas of red wine. This is life! Opening the window in seven in the morning, sunshine on your face and listening to this beautiful language in the street.

Some brief history...
The first written mention of the city dates from 1094, when a diocese was founded on Kaptol, while in 1242, neighbouring Gradec was proclaimed a free and royal city.
The Baroque reconstruction of the city in the 17th and 18th centuries changed the appearance of the city. The old wooden houses were demolished, opulent palaces, monasteries and churches were built.
The many trade fairs, the revenues from landed estates and the offerings of the many craft workshops greatly contributed to the wealth of the city.
When Kaptol, Gradec and the surrounding settlements were administratively combined into the integrated city of Zagreb in 1850, the development accelerated still more. The disastrous earthquake of 1880 sparked off the reconstruction and modernisation of many shabby neighbourhoods and buildings.
So, today it looks marvellous, and is a plce you will enjoy visiting!
