Cronache di Zagreb
Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, was founded in the 11th century as a small settlement on a hill. The city's medieval core, including the Upper Town, was a major trading hub in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After World War II, Zagreb underwent significant modernisation and architectural changes, incorporating Art Nouveau and Socialist-era styles. Today, the city proudly showcases its rich cultural heritage, with a mix of historic and modern attractions, including the Zagreb Cathedral and the Museum of Broken Relationships. Zagreb's cultural identity is characterised by its lively atmosphere, warm hospitality, and a blend of Croatian and European influences.

Principali attrazioni a 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.
