Zagreb combines a cool carefree attitude with old-world European culture.

While most visitors flutter up and down the country’s coast, Croatia’s inland capital is equally captivating. The city has remained remarkably authentic, avoiding a takeover by international chains, and indulges in a café culture that rivals the likes of Vienna.

In the midst of an artistic uprise, even Zagreb’s dullest areas have been brought to life with interesting street murals. The city’s curiosities are best experienced on foot, strolling along its cobbled roads but with Mount Medvednica visible in the distance, there’s a road trip waiting to be had. Crystal clear lakes and wild woodlands are a short drive away, offering a natural reward for those willing to explore.

Zagreb, the fascinating capital of Croatia, is a cosmopolitan mix of medieval architecture combined with a modern urban face. Teeming with cultural attractions, including a huge amount of museums, Zagreb is an excellent destination for a short city break, or as a stopover before heading to the wonderful Croatian coast. Car hire is a convenient and cheap way to explore this diverse city and venture further into the Croatian countryside.
