Zagreb

Zagreb wakes up to the smell of coffee on Ban Jelačić Square. Passers-by greet each other while the buildings reveal their history on every corner.

In the Upper Town (Gornji Grad), Zagreb Cathedral towers over the skyline, and nearby the mosaic-tiled roofs glitter in the light. Next door, the museums take you back in time with exhibitions that tell the story of Croatia's soul.

Head down to the Lower Town (Donji Grad) and street art takes over the alleys: an explosion of colour with serious urban vibes. On Tkalčićeva Street, every stall smells of freshly baked bread and local sweets. Don't skip a stop at a mesnica (butcher's) to try the famous stuffed chicken, peka style.

For a chill break, Zrinjevac and Maksimir Park offer shade and greenery, perfect for a picnic. When the sun goes down, the bars along the Sava river come alive with live music and drinks under the stars.

Just an hour and a half away, Plitvice Lakes National Park reveals emerald waters and breathtaking waterfalls.

Zagreb: a city full of contrasts, history and… street vibes. Ready to explore? ✨🧳
