Chronicles of Zagreb
Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, has a rich history dating back to the Roman Empire, when it was a small settlement called Andautinum. Over the centuries, the city has been shaped by various architectural styles, from Gothic to Art Nouveau, with many buildings still standing today. In the early 20th century, Zagreb became a major cultural hub, earning the nickname 'Little Vienna' due to its rich cultural and artistic heritage. Today, the city is a vibrant, cosmopolitan metropolis with a thriving arts scene, a UNESCO-recognised historic centre, and a lively atmosphere. Its strategic location at the intersection of Central and Eastern Europe has made it a key trading and cultural crossroads.

Top Attractions in 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.
