Croatia is quite a heterogeneous country, having preserved the legacy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the north-east and the Italian flair in its coastal regions. However, the most revealing and significant part of the country is, naturally, its capital. Being the heart and soul of Croatia,
Zagreb is a city you can't miss the opportunity to stay in for at least 3-4 days during your
Croatia tour.
Historically, Zagreb has been divided into two parts, upper and lower, connected by the shortest funicular in the world which has a length of only 66 meters. Pretty short ride, huh? But this funicular experience can become a great start to your Zagreb city tour, taking you up to the cobblestone streets of the old town.
Probably the most touristic place in this part of the city is the Zagreb Cathedral. Having survived several harsh demolitions during its almost a thousand-year history, the Cathedral has been restored to its original Gothic appearance and become the tallest building in the whole country.
