Zagreb In-A-Day
A city for strollers
Zagreb offers the set-piece sights one would expect from a capital city, although it’s the opportunity to stroll its markets, pavement-cafe quarters and green open spaces that really brings out the best in the city.
Morning
Begin the day on the animated main square before strolling uphill and eastwards to admire the cavernous interior of the twin-spired Neo-Gothic Zagreb Cathedral. From here cut across the animated, photogenic Dolac market towards the picturesque, café-lined Tkalčićeva ulica. It’s a short uphill walk to The Upper Town, where you can visit the award-winning Museum of Broken Relationships before soaking up the impressive views from the Upper Town’s ridge-top promenade.
