Upper Town (Gornji Grad)
Zagreb's medieval hilltop core, reached on foot or by the world's shortest funicular — cobbled lanes, St Mark's Church, and the Parliament building are all within a compact, walkable area.
Museum of Broken Relationships
A genuinely moving, occasionally funny museum built entirely from donated objects and the breakup stories behind them — one of Zagreb's most internationally celebrated attractions.
Dolac Market
Zagreb's main open-air market, its red umbrellas a city symbol, just above the main square — the best spot for fresh produce, cheese, and a feel for daily Zagreb life.
St Mark's Church
Instantly recognisable for its tiled roof depicting the medieval coats of arms of Croatia, Dalmatia, Slavonia, and Zagreb — the surrounding square is Upper Town's political heart.
Maksimir Park
Croatia's oldest public park and one of the first landscaped city parks in Europe, with lakes, forest paths, and a small zoo — a favourite escape from the old-town crowds.
Mirogoj Cemetery
An extraordinary 19th-century cemetery designed with domed, ivy-covered arcades — considered one of the most beautiful cemeteries in Europe rather than a place of mourning alone.
