Zagreb People & Culture

OK...Museum freaks...this is THE place to go...ofcourse for the rest of us to. I LOVED MY VISIT TO ZAGREB. The people, City, atmosphere, colouring, archiceture, the many outside Cafes and the food. GREAT Great great City to observe and even relax. You must see and do: Get a tram card at the news-kiosks and head for the City center Trg Bana Jelacica. St. Stephens Cathedral, Archbishops Palace, Kamenita Vrata (Stone Gate), Sabor (Parliment), Banski Dvori (Presidents palace), OK and all the museums.....you cannot miss them. Make sure to do your shopping in Ilica road and get a nice seat in a cafe for a great Cappuchino with a cake and just observe the people around you. Enjoy the great city of Zagreb....I will be going back.

people tend to send you in the wrong direction. not on purpose, but they do. so aks 2 times just in case.

nice people, good beer, all these in a very charismatic town. even if it is a bit expensive

The most interesting part of Zagreb is Jarun, with its places to go out, to enjoy, and to meet many young people.

wonderful town, very easy to get around; great history; people are kind, and jovial although it's worth it to take the time to earn their trust
the market is one of the better ones that i visited in Europe- open air and oh so colorful- must try the fresh corn on the cob- delicious
there's a very tasty reasonably priced restaurant on the terrace (level 1.5) just off the stairs that join the upper lower levels of the market- great place to sit and people watch, but don't expect too much from the waiters!
if you need a break, there's a very modern comfortable movie theater at the "mall" located near the main train station

Not very impressive and can be seen in a day or two at the most but, it gives you a better picture of Croatian culture. Don't miss the Museum of Naive Art .

Zagreb is the capital and the largest city of Croatia. Zagreb is the cultural, scientific, economic and governmental center of the ...
Zagreb is an old Central European city. It is located on the intersection of several important routes beetwen the Adriatic coast and Central Europe.
Zagreb offers its guests the Baroque feel of the Upper town, picturesque open-air markets, various kinds of shops and delicious local cuisine. The Day of the City of Zagreb on the november 16 th is celebrated every year with special festivities, especially on the Jurun lake near the southwestern part of the city.

Zagreb is my home city, so I can tell only best about it. Here, you can do everything: there are interesting museum and sights, beautiful nature in the city center (park Zrinjevac, but there is also Maksimir, in which you feel like you are in a forest, and it's only 15 minutes with a car or a tram from the centre...), interesting culture events (cest is d'best), and everything you want. Food are fabulos, there are some really good hotels, lots of hospitals. If you are in Zagreb during summer, take clothes like you are going in Africa and an umbrella, and if you go in Zagreb during winer, tke warm clothes. And, of course, you have to go to Millenuim to try the best ice-cream ever!

Beautiful city! Many call it the "Gem of the Balkans". Rarely can you find so many examples of cultural and historical significance from different periods in such a small region, and Zagreb is my favorite of all. The architecture of this Capital is simply breath taking.

This is Zagreb from student perspective:
cheap, great for nightlife, clubs are working until 4 or 5. Different kind of music in every club, from Serbian to Indian :) Hostels are cheap. Zagreb is not to big city as London or Paris, but it has a lot to offer ;)

The only parts of this place worth visiting are donji grad and gornji grad, that's lower and upper town if you will. Upper town is really beautiful, looks like Prague. Visit the main square, the train station and nearby square, Zrinjevac parks near the train station, the cathedral and all of upper town, especially the Tkalciceva street which begins at the main square, it's full of pubs and restaurants.

You can also go hiking on Madvednica, the mountain overlooking the city, and visit Medvedgrad, an medieval castle on the slopes of the mountain. Zagreb is not worth more than 2 days of your time.

Croatia happens to be one of my favorite trips yet! Beautiful country with lots of waterfalls. If you are adventurous and like outdoor sports or simply want to just chill on the beach, this is a very beautiful country to do it in. I did some climbing, bicycling, kayaking, and braved it to jump off a waterfall. The people are so friendly. English is learned in schools there although not everyone speaks it very clearly... it's still understandable in case you are lost, which I found hard to do (however, I wasn't the one driving)

The Croatian capital has lots to see by way of museums, parks and the like... but would rather suggest spending your time on the coast, Dubrovnik upwards, hopping off at as many cities there as you can... but perhaps a couple of days at Zagreb is still worth it ... for a more East European or Balkan feel to Croatia, as against the Mediterranean feel its coast offers...

Go to GORNJI GRAD, or on the main square Trg Bana Josipa Jelačića, you'll have plenty things to see....

crkvica je lijepa, ali ponekad se osjeti smrad sa obliznjeg smetlista :s

za zitnjak me veze samo bivsa skola - tehnicka skola rudera boskovica...inace, na zitnjaku je pevec, bauhaus, doma namjestaj, trznica, turbolimac, turbosrport...i hrpa drugih trgovina...al ipak, u jankomiru je bolje

naravno, opet spominjem crkvu jer su sve crkvice, kapelice u cijelom turopolju predivne
