Overview
Zagreb, Croatia’s northwestern capital, is distinguished by its 18th- & 19th-century Austro-Hungarian architecture. At its center, Upper Town is the site of Gothic, twin-spired Zagreb Cathedral, 13th-century St. Mark’s Church, colourful tiled roof.
Description
Zagreb is made for strolling. Wander through the Upper Town's red-roof and cobblestone glory, peppered with church spires. Crane, your neck to see the domes and ornate upper-floor frippery of the Lower Town's mash-up of secessionist, neo-baroque and art deco buildings. Search out the grittier pockets of town where ugly-bland concrete walls have been transformed into colourful murals by local street artists. This city rewards those on foot.
