Zagreb Trip Overview
The development of the downtown Zagreb starts in the mid 19th century. This is exactly why this part of the town reminds us of Vienna, Budapest or Prague; the many parks, museums, squares and building with gorgeous ornaments as well as other cultural monuments are works of renowned architects, builders and urban planners of its age.
This tour is great for anyone who likes exploring the flat part of the city, but still being in an older part full of history and galleries. Often, this is the central part of the town where cultural events, manifestations, markets, and music events are organized.
