Zagreb

A "prim" town

Zagreb, the tranquil and charming capital of Croatia, beckons travelers with its vibrancy, beauty, and pristine streets. There's a lot to admire, from historic churches, lush parks, and picturesque squares to the grand theater and the winding cobblestone alleys of the old town. In Zagreb, it feels like you're in a fairy tale, where, as the saying goes, "If you go left, you'll reach the cathedral; if you go right, you'll reach the museum, and if you go straight, you'll find a monument." It's a city that invites exploration at every turn!

Guide to Zagreb

Virtual tour in Zagreb

Zagreb is a charming, compact city with a rich European architectural heritage and well-developed tourist infrastructure. The central historical area is divided into the Upper Town (Gornji grad) and the Lower Town (Donji grad), where you'll find most of the city's attractions.

Aside from exploring its architectural and cultural treasures, Zagreb also captivates visitors with its mysterious and unusual art installations. For instance, it's home to the world's only Museum of Unhappy Love, featuring exhibits related to failed love affairs. These exhibits range from a lesbian's axe used to chop her ex-girlfriend's furniture to wedding dresses, sex toys, and even a coffee machine. The museum's founders, artists Olinka Vištica and Dražen Grubišić, consider the most valuable item in their collection to be a prosthesis donated by a 1990s war veteran who met his beloved in the hospital. He humorously notes that the prosthesis outlived their love because it's made of more durable material.

Another pleasant surprise in Zagreb is the Dolac open-air market, located next to cathedrals and churches. Shopaholics can explore jewelry stores on Tkalčićeva Street, offering handmade silver pieces, and then unwind with a cup of aromatic coffee at the city's charming sidewalk cafes. Zagreb has a delightful blend of culture, history, and quirky attractions to explore.
