Zagrebの歴史
Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, was founded in 1094 as a medieval settlement on a site where the Zagreb River meets the Medveščak River. The city's architectural evolution is a blend of Austro-Hungarian, Art Nouveau and socialist-era styles, reflecting its complex history. Zagreb's cultural identity is a unique blend of European and Balkan influences, with a thriving arts scene and a passion for traditional folk music and dance. The city has a rich history of cultural and artistic expression, from the Croatian National Theatre to the Museum of Modern Art. Zagreb's charming Upper Town, with its cobblestone streets and Baroque fountains, is a must-visit destination.

Zagrebのトップ観光スポット
💡 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.
