Zagreb, the capital of the Republic of Croatia, is one of the oldest European cities with its history running back  to the 11th century, and is yet one of Europe’s  youngest metropolises.

It is the administrative, economic, diplomatic and cultural capital of the country, with a population of almost one million. This   “city of million hearts” as locals call it, has always been attracting visitors’ attention.

Lately, this interest has been growing faster than ever before due to Croatia’s soon accession to the European Union. In addition, its central European location makes it easily accessible from all parts of Europe.

Zagreb is also the city of science and culture. Many excellent scientists and artists  who have enriched Croatian and world heritage, work here. The city has approximately fifty museums and galleries, as well as private art collections and about twenty theatres and musical venues.

From spring to autumn many events and exhibitions take place outdoors. They are a real treat for the visitors and they largely contribute to Zagreb’s special atmosphere.

The most important cultural attractions and hotels, many of which are members of international hotel chains, are conveniently located in the heart of the city, all within 20 minutes walking distance.

Not only is Zagreb renowned for its Gothic churches, Baroque palaces, Art Deco buildings, beautiful city parks, but is also famous for the fascinating atmosphere in the historic Upper Town and the numerous downtown outdoor cafes where the true pulse of the city becomes captivating.

Other main attractions include one of Europe’s most lively outdoor markets, Dolac, with its cheerful red parasols – it is here that the scents and the colourful diversity of fresh picked fruits, vegetables, fresh fish from the nearby Adriatic, meat and dairy products  make you  remember  those almost forgotten tastes of your childhood…

Despite being a Central European city in geography, culture and baroque architecture, in many ways, Zagreb has a Mediterranean way of life. Its numerous downtown open air cafés   give Zagreb the image of the biggest European café. Thanks to its many influences, the city has a special charm and that unique hospitable feel generated by its proverbial open-hearted inhabitants.
