When planning your European getaway, consider adding Zagreb to your Croatia itinerary for its attractions, picturesque scenery, and vibrant culture. Located by the Sava River, the capital is full of historical heritage, making it a must-see destination.
Start your Zagreb sightseeing with Lotrscak Tower, built in the 13th century to protect the south city gate. The tower continues the tradition of firing a cannon at noon every day. Legends suggest the cannon blast either scared away the Turks or helped synchronize church clocks, adding a unique charm to your visit.
Another highlight is Mirogoj, a cemetery designed by Herman Bolle in 1876, often considered one of Europe’s most beautiful. Its fortress-like arcade, sculptures, and lush surroundings create a serene atmosphere.
For a true taste of the city, visit Trg Bana Jelacica and Dolac Market. Trg Bana Jelacica is the bustling main square, while Dolac Market offers local produce and authentic delicacies. Both are perfect spots to relax and soak in the local atmosphere.
