Favorite thing: This very pictoresque palace, which is situated on the oldest square of the town, belonged to the well known Sermage Family. The look of the front facade attracts so much and you'll click on your camera without hesitation.

Fondest memory: The harmonious Rococo palace, which stood on Stancicev trg, takes the today appearance in the mid of the 18th century. Its owner in the 17th century was baron Prassintzky and later the Sermage family.

Favorite thing: Varazdin Tourist Office probably offers loads of free brochures and maps and you can also buy some local souvenirs, books, CDs and DVDs they have on display. But the Tourist office can also be closed on Sundays, which is not something that should happen in a serious tourist place.

Ah well, after all - my impression was that people of Varazdin love to enjoy their town themselves and are not trying too hard to attract loads of tourists. Don't let this stop you if you are in the area - most information about Varazdin is also available online here:
