Trips to Zagreb

Zagreb is a delightful and perfectly sized metropolis, ideal for an overnight stay on your journey south or for a weekend getaway. As the capital city, it is the largest in the country, with just under a million inhabitants. In the city center, you'll find a picturesque old town with cultural monuments, excellent shopping, and a vast selection of restaurants, cafes, and bars. The large, beautiful cathedral and St. Mark’s Church, known for its checkered roof, are well worth a visit. Throughout the year, a variety of festivals take place, and both the opera and concert programs are impressive. The culinary scene is a delightful mix, from authentic Croatian home-cooked meals to exotic sushi bars with lavish interiors. Croatians are quite fashion-conscious and dress with flair. Besides designer stores, you can find second-hand and ethnic clothing in varying price ranges. Zagreb residents enjoy socializing outside their homes, and the cafe culture is vibrant, with most people having their favorites—grab a coffee and enjoy some local folklore. There are also casinos, clubs, and music venues that will keep you entertained into the early hours. Zagreb is a charming city and will likely leave you wanting more if you take the time to stop by for a first visit. Welcome to Zagreb.
