Zagreb, Croatia Travel & Tourism Search
Zagreb is the capital of Croatia and a charming medieval city with architecture and cobbled streets reminiscent of Vienna, Budapest, Prague and other Central-European capitals. In 2005 it was visited by over half a million tourists, mainly from Austria, Germany and Italy.
Zagreb is a railway hub which has direct links with other major European cities such as Vienna (6 hours), Budapest, Zurich, Munich, Berlin, Salzburg, Venice, Ljubljana, Sarajevo, Belgrade etc. Also, as of 2004 you can ride on the new 160kph “tilting trains” that connect Zagreb with Split and other major cities in Croatia such as Rijeka and Osijek. If you make a reservation early enough you can get a substantial discount.
Zagreb Card Travelers who are staying for several days should consider buying the so-called Zagreb Card. It gives them unlimited travel on public transport in Zagreb, discounts at virtually all of the city’s museums, reduced prices at many restaurants, shops, and service providers and many other concessions. It costs 90 kuna (approx. 12 euros) and it is valid for 72 hours from the date and time entered on the card. Holders of the card also receive a special booklet with the list of all the establishments and the discounts available to them. The card can be bought at any of the Zagreb's Tourist Information Centers and at the reception desks of the majority of Zagreb’s hotels.
A new bar, featuring live music on Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus a DJ on Saturday nights, Hopdevilhas 101 different types of Belgian beer. The unique interior features a waterfall that runs along entire wall, and stone archways. The water from the waterfall flows beneath a glass floor, which you can sit on.
There are a number of interesting places in Zagreb's vicinity. Travelers should certainly check Samobor, which is a picturesque medieval town with well preserved old lore and long tourist tradition. The prevailing architecture is that of the Baroque period. The town is also reputed to be the place where the best "kremšnite" - one of Croatia's best known cakes - are made. Samobor is a short 20 minute drive from the Zagreb city center. You can get there by bus or take the A3 towards the Slovenian border.
Also worth a visit is Jarun Lake, on the outskirts of the city. Jarun Lake is a recreational area based around a large lake where locals go to relax, exercise - and party! The centerpiece of the area is the actual lake itself, which is used for windsurfing and has a large rowing section with spectator stands. There are also shingle beaches surrounding the water, alongside which are several bars that get very busy during the weekends but are also nice for a sunny lunchtime snack. All the bars there are considered 'fancy' places and usually play commercial music.
There is also a large nightclub very close to Jarun called Klub The Best. It is the largest in Zagreb! |
