Chroniques de Zagreb
Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, was founded in 1094 by King Coloman of Hungary, and over the centuries, it has developed a unique blend of Austro-Hungarian and Art Nouveau architectural styles. The city's historic core, including the Upper Town, is a maze of narrow streets and charming squares, with many buildings dating back to the 18th century. Today, Zagreb is a vibrant cultural hub, with a thriving arts scene, a network of museums, and a lively atmosphere that's equal parts Eastern European and Mediterranean. The city's contemporary identity is shaped by its rich history, with many festivals and events celebrating its heritage throughout the year.

Principales attractions à Zagreb
💡 Visit late afternoon when the sun lights the stained glass windows from inside. The square outside has no shade so bring water.
💡 Go before 11am for the best produce. Try the 'strukli' from a bakery stall – a savoury pastry costing about €2. No haggling expected.
💡 Bring your own food. The park café is overpriced and average. Enter from the main gate near Maksimir tram stop.
💡 Go on the first Wednesday of the month for half-price entry. The museum shop sells quirky souvenirs you won't find elsewhere.
💡 The roof is best viewed from the steps of the Croatian Parliament building opposite. Go early to avoid crowds in the small square.
