Zagreb City Guide

Zagreb is not only Croatia's largest city but also its capital. Close to Medvednica Mountain, this central European city can be divided into two main areas. These are the 'Gornij grad' (Upper town) and the 'Donji grad' (Lower town). In the Upper town, which can be reached using a funicular, you'll find many interesting baroque and medieval buildings. Zagreb, which is located on the Sava River in northern Croatia, boasts a huge number of cultural and historical attractions including over 35 museums and art galleries. The Archaeological Museum is home to over 400,000 artefacts, the most famous of which is probably the Zagreb Mummy, while the Croatian Natural History Museum houses a fascinating collection of Neanderthal remains. One of the city’s most notable buildings is the Zagreb Cathedral with its distinctive, towering spires. Ban Jelacic Square, which is the city's main square, is the perfect please for a stroll, and Zagreb also has a wide selection of shops and malls for you to check out. Throughout the year, Zagreb hosts a large number of festivals, and there are lots of bars and restaurants where you can find both local and international fare.

  “ Zagreb is a nice city, but you can get through all the major sights (minus the museums, we arent really museum people) in about two ours. Its easily walkable and the people seem to be pretty friendly. Great for a day trip or one overnight, but I wouldnt spend longer than that.

  “ The owners are great, they instantly make you feel at home. The atmosphere is very relaxed. The rooms, beds, bathrooms are very clean. Ample of opportunity to meet other fellow-guests and travellers, and hit the night scene later... Can't beat their location, bang in the middle of… more the centre, by Jelacic Square, 2 minutes from Gormji Grad (Upper Town) and Dornji Grad (Lower Town).close

  “ Despite the walk up to the top flat it provides a perfect place to reside and allows you to escape Zagreb. The fact that there are a a few flights of stairs to get to the apartment it provides it own natural security. There is a supermarket and bakery down the road to stock the apartment and… more is about 20 mins walk into the main city square (that\'s if you want to walk) - it\'s about 5 mins by tram. I would definitely stay here again if I wanted to go to Zargreb again.close
