Chronicles of Zagreb
Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, was founded in 1094 by King Ladislaus I, who built a fortified settlement on the site of a medieval church. Over the centuries, the city's architecture has evolved from Romanesque and Gothic styles to Baroque, Art Nouveau, and modernist influences, with the Upper Town featuring many preserved historical buildings. Zagreb's cultural identity is deeply rooted in its Austro-Hungarian heritage, and the city is now a thriving hub for arts, festivals, and cultural events, with a lively café scene and a blend of traditional and modern cuisine. The city's name is derived from the Croatian word 'zagrebati', meaning 'to flow' or 'to flow well', referring to the nearby Sava River.

💡 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.
