    The Lenuci Horseshoe is a stretch of parks in Zagreb's lower town that together form a big horseshoe. Zrinjevac is one of them. There's some very reprentative buildings around it, mostly travel agencies, ministeries, embassies. You also find a bandstand as well as a nice meteorological clock here which keeps telling you that "the sun will be back in March".

    Imagine stepping outside the main station and all you see it a green area with beautiful buildings around and a statue of a guy on a horse. Welcome to Zagreb! I didn't arrive by train but I am sure it's a great place to arrive to by train. Makes a nice change to the usual drugdealer and tack shops scenario, anyway. ;)

    When you want to walk along the horseshoe and you have reached this point - the main station (Glavni Kolodvor) - turn right and continue with Botanical Gardens, Marulicev trg and finally Trg Marsala Tito. Unfortunately I was running out of time so I didn't see the western part of the horseshoe. I am sure it's nice though. So you walk on.... I'll meet you at the national theatre at Trg Marsala Tito in the next tip ;)

    The Art Pavilion is at the northern end of Tomislav trg, the square in front of Zagreb's main station. I liked this building when it was lit up at night as the lights where shining through the roof. Very nice, but unfortunately i didn't bring my tripod to take a picture.

    Lenucijeva zelena potkova, the Lenuci's green horsheshoe, is situated in the central postition of the Lower Town. Many visitors of Zagreb says it is the most beautiful and most attractive part of the town.
    In the central part of this park there are: monument of the first Croatian King Tomislav, the Art Pavillion and the Croatian Academy. On the both sides, there are many representative palaces built in the neo-classical stayle.

    the lenuci horseshoe is the name given to a series of small park squares that can be found directly in front of the main train station. it is a beautiful area of grass, flowers and lush trees surrounded by some of the most beautiful buildings in zagreb. at the head of the area is a statue of kralj tomislav, the first croatian king, and towards the bottom of the park is a small meteorological ornament, that can show you the weather and whatnot. throughout the area you will also find the art pavilion building, and a bandstand.

    i like nothing more then sitting in zrinjevac (one of the parks) and watching the people stroll by. a vivid memory i clearly recall from my last visit is sitting on one of the park benches, and watching a gorgeous young couple 'get it on' so to speak. i was writing in my diary about how sad and lonely i was feeling, and while trying to write, i'd look up and see them so in love, and my heart would be wounded just that little bit more (oh the drama!!! haha). i can remember the next day also going back and sitting there, and this time just feeling at peace and happy with myself, and realising that life isnt so bad. especially not when surrounded by such beauty. life was ok... :)

    A brilliant yellow exterior woos you to it from its place on Trg Tomislava. Inside you'll find a superb home for all kinds of domestic and international art, great beneficiaries of the generous natural lighting that spills in from the top.
    On the rear side of the Pavilion, in its ground-floor, there is one of the best restaurants of Zagreb with international cuisine.

    If you arrive to Zagreb by train, this will be first scene that you catch after you leave railway station. This is Tomislav square, one of the most beautiful squares in the city (but there are many most beautiful squares in this city ;) ), named after first (and probably most important) Croatian King, Tomislav that lived in 10th century. There is his statue there.

    Take a good look arroung you here.

    I'll take you to a circular trip aroud old town and we will return back here.

    If you go straight you will come to city's focal point, Jelačićev trg (Jelachich square). So let's go. :)

    When I just started working at my bank, one of the clients complained to me that his son had to meet the same loan criteria like «other people».The father felt his son should not have been treated like «everybody else» because he worked «on Zrinjevac». The tone and choice of words indicated that I should have known which important institution resided «on Zrinjevac», but I had no idea. Turned out it was Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
    It was pure pleasure to explain to the haughty father that our bank valued every customer and offered best terms and conditions to all the people regardless of what walk of life they came from ;-)))

    I still have no idea which of the buildings houses Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The only institution I can identify is the Supreme Court. I'm bad, I know. Such an important son is working there…

    Btw, Zrinjevac is one of the three squares connecting Jelacic square and the railway station. People from Zagreb tend to refer to all three as "Zrinjevac" although Zrinjevac is only the first one after the main square.

    It’s the most significant place in the city. You come out of the main railway station and its right across the road. King Tomislav was the first king of Croatia. The square is main tourist attraction as you could see hundred of tourist hanging out there. There is a big statue of King Tomislav is also situated at the top of square. Nice place to relax and chill out.
