Zagreb – the Capital
With a population of approx. 1 million, Croatia’s capital Zagreb represents the cultural, political, and economic center of the country. While constantly growing and developing itself, Zagreb is looking back at a long and eventful history. The urban architecture was influenced by the Austro-Hungarian rule in the 18th and 19th century. Engineers and famous architects from Vienna planned the outlook of the city and designed many monuments and buildings. Uptown is one of the most romantic and charming parts of Zagreb and offers a great view over the whole city. The shortest way up is to have a ride with the 150 year old funicular! At Dolac market, farmers from the surrounding areas sell their fresh products. Park Maksimir is one of the biggest and oldest city parks in the Balkan region. The 19th century Mirogoj cemetery with its artful arcades and opulent graves of Zagreb’s aristocracy is also certainly worth a visit. The locals are known to be fashionistas and coffee enthusiasts. Meet them in the countless cafes and bars and get a sip of Zagrebian lifestyle.
