dubrovnik

Zagreb, the capital of Croatia is a typical Central European town with its lively city centre busting with activity. The twentieth century brought the Secession style to its public buildings, parks and fountains emanating the lofty spirit of the Austro- Hungarian Empire. Zagreb has developed out of the two medieval settlements, Kaptol and Gradec, which for centuries developed on neighbouring hills. The 20th century brought the Secession style to its public buildings, parks and fountains emanating the noble spirit of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Often ignored as touristic destination this town is an exciting city which offers an invaluable window into Croatian culture. We invite you to visit our capital city and find out why tourists find this city as one of the most polite city in the world.
