CITY INFORMATION: ZAGREB
Effervescent, avant-garde and always elegant, Zagreb embodies the grace and dignity of Old Europe, boasting a rich cultural heritage and artistic vibrancy unlike anywhere else in Croatia. A dynamic, yet unhurried metropolis and capital city, Zagreb’s design beckons one to stroll, relax, and observe, with its many gardens, alfresco squares, landscaped promenades, and secret courtyards.
A year-round destination, each season illuminates a new affirmation of our affection. Zagreb is one of Wanda’s favorite cities of the world, “I love everything that happens here.”
Zagreb’s location has inevitably influenced its character. At an intersection of cultures, empires, and ethnic boundaries, Zagreb, a former Kingdom in its own right, is at once European, Mediterranean, and Austro-Hungarian. Today, Zagreb’s long history is evident in every structure and sidewalk, while its vibrant and cutting-edge art scene energizes contemporary society.
The Croatian capital has not received such popular attention as its Adriatic neighbors; thus, Zagreb may not yet ring familiar to the modern traveler. Be that as it may, this capital city, the seat of the government, where 20% of the country’s population resides, is a cultural capital, a university town, home to generations of artists and poets, with architecture showcasing centuries of history and evolution.
See why locals and visitors alike fall in love with this beautiful and distinct city!
