Chronicles of Zagreb
Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, was founded in 1094 as a trading post on the Medvednica Hill. Over the centuries, the city has evolved into a rich cultural melting pot, with Austro-Hungarian, Yugoslavian, and modern Croatian influences evident in its architecture. The city's Upper Town (Gornji Grad) features a mix of Gothic, Baroque, and Art Nouveau buildings, while the Lower Town (Donji Grad) is a hub for modern art, design, and nightlife. Today, Zagreb is a vibrant city with a strong sense of community and a lively cultural scene.

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.
