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 Kupa rivers made it a key trading hub in the Middle Ages. The city's architectural evolution is a testament to its rich history, with the Upper Town (Gornji Grad) featuring a mix of Gothic, Baroque, and Art Nouveau styles, while the Lower Town (Donji Grad) is home to more modernist and socialist-era buildings. Today, Zagreb is a vibrant cultural centre, with a thriving art scene, numerous museums, and a lively atmosphere that's equal parts Eastern European charm and Western sophistication.

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.
