Top 10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Zagreb, Central Croatia
Zagreb got its start as two medieval fortress towns atop hills overlooking the Sava River, and was reborn in the Baroque period as center of business, perfectly located on routes connecting Central Europe to the Adriatic Sea. These days, Zagreb is the heart of contemporary Croatia’s culture, art, sports, and academics, but its history is not forgotten. The unique blend of medieval towers, 19th century palaces, open-air markets, and ancient cathedrals, make Zagreb the perfect city to explore.

My name’s Renata. After working in education for some time, I decided to switch careers and to use my language knowledge for something else. So I got my tour guide license, and now I would love to tell you interesting stories about my city. The tour includes major landmarks as well as some hidden gems.

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.

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.

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.

I liked this classical space surrounding the national theatre. The square is not commercial, so it is quiet, not crowded by people or pigeons, and one of the cleanest outdoor areas in Zagreb.

Nice, historic square with many government offices and military guards. There is a changing of the guard at Noon on Saturdays and Sundays, weather permitting. The restored buildings and shops give it a very strong cultural character.

This city center is dominated by a statue of the 19th-century governor of Croatia, which was removed by Tito in 1947 but restored in 1990 as an act of defiance.

I reached this main square traveling by tram from Bus station as my hotel is located just at walkable distance. An exciting and invigorating place to wander around, relax and explore the beautiful Zagreb from here. There is an imposing huge sculpture of Count Jelacic, a national hero, in whose memory the Square is named. The signages at one corner guide travellers with suitable directions to visit all the important Museums and other places of interest. With newspaper stands , cafes, icecream shops, all types of eateries, tram station,temporary market, cathedral and entrance point to famous Dolac, this is a true Centre that no one can miss.

Take the funicular if you don't want to walk up the somewhat steep cobblestoned streets to visit the Upper Town. The views when exiting a a great photo op and it's a leisurely stroll to the Museum of Broken Relationships (nearby) and the imposing St Mark's Church.

You will find a large number of stores here, all in one place. Zara, Pandora, Ecco, Kraš chocolate bar, Calzedonia, large number of jewelry stores, footwear stores, cafes, restaurants. Make sure to visit the Vincek ice cream shop and try the delicious ice cream (and cakes), one of Zagreb's best. Just like Mariahilfer Strasse in Vienna. ;)
