About Zagreb

Zagreb is the capital and largest city of Croatia, located in the northwest of the country near the foot of the Medvednica mountain. The historic city is traditionally divided into the Upper Town, known as Gradec, and the Lower Town, known as Kaptol, each with its own churches, squares, and old streets. Zagreb is a major cultural center with numerous museums, galleries, theaters, and festivals that attract visitors throughout the year. Its position makes it an important transportation hub in Central Europe, linking road, rail, and air routes between the Adriatic coast and neighboring countries. Travelers also enjoy the city's parks, cafes, and lively markets, which give Zagreb a relaxed yet energetic character. The Upper Town, with its St. Mark's Church and colorful roofs, offers sweeping views, while Dolac Market and the funicular to Gradec add a local and historic touch to any visit.
