Chronicles of Zagreb
Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, was founded in 1094 by King Ladislaus I, and its strategic location at the intersection of the Sava and Drava rivers made it a significant trading centre in the Middle Ages. The city's architectural evolution is a testament to its complex history, with Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles evident in its historic core. The Ban Jelačić Square, with its iconic statue of Josip Jelačić, is the heart of the city's cultural identity, hosting various festivals and events throughout the year. Zagreb's rich cultural heritage is palpable in its museums, galleries, and historic buildings. The city's architecture is a blend of medieval and modern styles, with a unique charm that sets it apart from other European cities.

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.
