Lotrscak Tower

A 13th-century defense tower from which a cannon is shot every day to mark noon.

Reviewed By sallyannsligo - Sligo, Ireland

A great place to get fantastic views over the city, Lotrscak tower is very interesting and I would definitely recommend a visit when in Zagreb, try and get there at 12pm when they fire the cannon also it's great to hear all the church bells going off at this time. Nice friendly staff also.

Seen as a symbol of the city of Zagreb, St Mark's Church is situated in the upper part of the city. The colourful roof displays a couple of coats of arms.

Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb

This centrally located theater seats only 850 people.

Reviewed By planetogra - Tewantin, Australia

This imposing building sits in the 'Green Horseshoe' area in the centre of Tito Square. The Croatian National Theatre ( Hrvatsko Narodno Kazaliste or HNK ) was built by architects Herman Helmer & Ferdinand Fellner under the Habsburg Empire & inaugurated in 1895. There are 5 theatres to encompass the wide variety of theatrical performances which attract a wide audience. The surrounding area used to be all swampland. HNK is a majestic edifice & its bright yellow ochre colour certainly ensures it stands out.

Cathedral of the Assumption

Reviewed By JulieM531 - Wellington, New Zealand

Magnificent set up on the hill above the city. Majestic, beautiful, even though one tower is shrouded with scaffolding. Walking inside we were overwhelmed by the peaceful serenity, beauty of the architecture, the many glorious stained glass windows, the statues and altar. We lit candles for recently departed dear friends and their grieving families and felt an extra special peace and comfort as we walked away. Truly a very special place to visit. So good for the soul to find such peace in today's world ...

King Tomislav Square

King Tomislav Square represents the very center of the town. Its vibrant atmosphere attracts both locals and tourists to enjoy sitting on the terraces with a coffee, cream cakes and open views. All the buildings on the square are listed as heritage buildings.

Reviewed By dalilazap - Acireale, Italy

Durante l’avvento di Zagabria, in questa grande piazza c’è una bellissima pista di pattinaggio. Ci siamo divertiti tantissimo, adatta anche a chi non sa pattinare bene. During Zagreb’s Advent, there is a wonderful ice-skating track on this square. We had a lot of fun, and it’s good also for those that can’t skate so well.

Upper Town (Gornji Grad)

Reviewed By O6990UKfrankd

The upper town is truly the center of Zagreb and provides a glimpse into the early days of this city. Take the funicular up from the new part of town and stroll past the houses of government, St Mark's church, and the last remaining city rampart. As you work your way down through the Bloody Bridge and the market, recall the historic origins of Zagreb!

Lower Town

Reviewed By AustraliaDebra

Zagreb is a truly beautiful city and the Lower Town has an amazing church and loads of bars. Also for the girls, there are more shoe shops in this area than any other I have ever been to. Great market in the mornings, and the bars are good for people watching. Grab yourself a 1/2 litre of local beer for 16 - 18 kuna and sit back and enjoy.

Vivid place. I've never seen so many open air cafe bars in just one street. The place is so vibrant. In any time of the day, here was so full of life.
