Things to do in Zagreb

  • Zagreb, Croatia

    Explore the upper town

    Zagreb is divided into two halves, the Zagreb Upper town and Zagreb Lower Town (Gornji and Donji Grad). The first one is the old city and historic core, dating back to the 11th century, full of red tile roofs and cobblestone streets and is the most romantic part of Zagreb. Visitors to the Croatian capital are often steered in the direction of Zagreb’s historic core. Locally known as Gornji Grad (Upper Town), the old town combines the twin settlements of Gradec and Kaptol and is located just a few minutes from the city’s main street, Illica. It is a throwback to another era, one marked by architectural brilliance and immortal legends.

  • Zagreb, Croatia

    Explore King Tomislav Square

    King Tomislav Square is lined with trees, dotted with flowerbeds and bordered by the imposing yellow façade of the grand Art Pavilion. Sit on one of the square’s benches and observe the people of Zagreb mixing and mingling. This square was originally named after Franz Joseph I. Following the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it was renamed for King Tomislav, who is attributed with uniting the Croats of Dalmatia and Pannonia into the single kingdom of Croatia. The first Croatian king was honored with a grand monument in the square in 1947. Head to the south end of the square for a closer look at this giant edifice, which depicts the king riding a horse on top of a huge plinth.
