Zagreb

A city with deep roots and lots to offer, Zagreb is Croatia’s capital and cultural heart. Here you’ll find exceedingly old buildings (and traditions to match) alongside a devoted café culture and excellent nightlife. The city dates back to the 2^nd century, but many of the buildings can be traced to the periods of Hungarian rule and Socialist influence – they are often austere and imposing, but stately in their own way. The cultural scene is where Zagreb really shines: buzzing café-lined squares set the stage for the Croatian habit of socializing over strong coffee, and there are plenty of galleries, theatres, and of course, a host of outdoor events when the summer rolls around.
