Not very easy to get around if you don't have a car
In a nutshell

A modern capital with beatiful old elements.
170 Reviews The medieval Lotrscak Tower (Kula Lotrscak)was built in the 13th century to protect the city gates. Every day at 12:00 h a cannn is fired from the tower, giving the citizens of Zagreb the chance to check their watches. There are still rumours that Croatians are always at least 3-5 minutes late.
Gradski trgovi - the City Squares
109 Reviews The wide Austro-Hungarian styled Jelacic Square (Trg Bana Jelacica) is the busy heart of Zagreb. It is completely pedestrianised, although many tram lines cross the square. In the middle of the square a monumental horse statue of ban Josip Jelacic can be found. Its history dates back to 1866. The...
48 Reviews This is the biggest and the most beautiful park of South East Europe, it was laid out in 1784 and is graced by an old oak forest, sunny open space and romantic lakes. Besides, there is a huge Zoo park too, one of the biggest in that part of Europe. There are kilometres of walking paths, several...
50 Reviews Zagreb's main landmark is the Cathedral of the Assumption. The original church was badly damaged by sieges of the Tartars and by an earthquake. The two impressive bell towers (104 and105 m) were erected in Neo-Gothic style at the beginnig of the 20 th century. In summer 2004 when I visited Zagreb,...
66 Reviews To be honest, I don't know much about the Evangelists and have never entered into this church, although have passed by so many times. It is situated in the center of the city, very close to Croatian National Theatre. The church was constructed at the end of the 19th century, following the plans of...
38 Reviews Great museum that you should not miss, situated in an old beautiful building on the most beautiful Zagreb Square Zrinjevac, the building alone is interesting enough to visit. The museum is not too big, there are some interesting collections. One of the things you must not miss is Zagreb mummy,...
10 Reviews and 249 Opinions i spent two days at this hotel and all i can say this is one of the best hotels i stayed at. the...
50 Reviews Food is excellent...and then, it's in the heart of the city. Bussiness meeting, lunch with family or just without any particular occasion..it's always the right place to go. During the spring and summer you can eat outside in the quiet atmosphere. The staff is friendly and always on your disposal....
17 Reviews I love pizza and like it to be make strictly in a traditional Italian way, fire up the wood. Pizzeria "2" or "Dvojka" offering such a kind of pizza and for my money its the best in town. Fact is, it isn't as good as it used to be before but still no other pizzeria in the city centre couldn't compare...
37 Reviews Krivi oput means 'wrong way' and it's nice place to hang out if you like good and non-mainstream music (reggae, ska, rock, punk, metal, electronic); it's quite famous place in Zagreb for alternative scene, has good prices of drinks and remains open until 2 am. Outside there's large terrace with...
43 Reviews I left Zagreb by direct train to Ljubljana. The trip took about 2,5 hours and in summer 2004 the ticket cost 83,25 Kune (ca. 11,00 Euro). Zagreb's main train station Glavni Koldvor is an important station for trains between Western and Central Europe. International connections lead to Munich,...
40 Reviews Besides tram, bus network is the second best public transportation inside the town and, in particularly, to its outskirts and surrounding settlements. This is the bus station next to the Cathedral. From here you can get very easily, in about ten minutes, to the Mirogoj Cemetery, which is a must see...
19 Reviews Situated in Vlaska street it is just in a walking distance from the Main Square, no more then 10 minutes walking. It isn't spacious, there are two storeys only and easy to access all shops. Besides shops it has several cafe-bars and pizzeria. As for cloths, do not expect designed brands here, an...
12 Reviews KING CROSS is located on the land of 150.000 m2 at the western entrance to Zagreb, on the main roads to Italy and Slovenia. It is on the routes of public transport. Its dimensions, modern structure and business activities make it a superb modern complex. Nothing has been left to chance and a great...
24 Reviews When you are in Zagreb, there is no way not to notice our big natural protector from the North, a homeland of Zagreb if you like it, the mountain Medvednica with its top Sljeme. With Jarun, it is also one of the beloved Zagreb's people sanctuary, during all four seasons. You can hik all over it, but...
30 Reviews If not for other reasons I am in particularly grateful for joining to VT because this membership have teach me to walk the streets of my hometown with open eyes. It is completely new sensation, now I see things which have never seen before. Now I understand much better what my school professor used...
8 Reviews Up there, on our mountain Medvednica, you can enjoy skiing or snowboarding, in Winter, of course. In other times of the year where there is no snow, you can enjoy hiking or simply, breath the fresh mountain air. The tracks are not long but they are well kept and skii elevators are usualy running...
13 Reviews Cycle paths are clearly marked through the center of Zegrab. The red path is only the width of one cycler and further delineated by yellow lines on edges of the path. Each path is intended for only one direction, so you have to find another path for the return route.
81 Reviews Braca Hrvatskog Zmaja (The Knights Order of the Dragon) was first founded in 1408 by Croato-Ungarin King Sigismund, under the name of Ordo Equestris Dragonis. This secret organisation, which members could have been Croats of noble origins, had in its beginning the one purpose only, to defend...
29 Reviews Zagreb is packed with architectural interesting sights and buildings. Among the most famous are the two Neo-Gothic bell towers, the Romanesque Lotrscak Tower or the various architectural styles of the buildings surrounding Jelacic Square. Near the train station are a few more well worth seeing...
