Zagreb

Toeristische bestemming info Zagreb

Zagreb is the capital of Croatia and it is located in the central continental region with a population of one million. It is one of the leading economic centers and a destination for business, congress and cultural tourism. The first written mention of the city dates back to 1094, when a diocese was founded on Kaptol, while the neighboring Gradec was named a free royal city in 1242. Both of those settlements were surrounded by sturdy walls and towers, of there are remnants to this day. Zagreb was founded with the joining of those two settlements. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the city gets a baroque renewal with the construction of luxurious palaces, monasteries and churches. After the destructive earthquake of 1880, the city is rebuilt and modernized. Representative public buildings are constructed, fountains and parks are arranged, public transportation and utilities services are set in place. Zagreb is full of historical monuments and many other attractions which serve as evidence of the city’s turbulent past. We recommend you visit Mary’s Post with angels and fountain, statue of Josip Strossmayer, statue of Ban Josip Jelačić (first large public sculpture in Zagreb), statue of the “Thinker”, statue of Petar Preradović, statue of King Thomas, statue of St. George in battle with a dragon (statue inspired by late Baroque era), statue of Antun Gustav Matoš, Well of Life, statue of August Šenoa.

Of the architectural monuments you can visit the Zagreb Cathedral (the most magnificent architectural structure of gothic ecclestial construction southwest of the Alps), church of St. Francis (a one nave, early gothic hall church), church of St. Mark (based on Romanic style, finished as a hall style church and is a unique gothic complex), Lotršćak tower (once the main city tower, today’s trademark of Zagreb), HAZA palace, national theater, national archive building, church of St. Blaise, Napredak building and the Meštrović pavilion. Apart from numerous monuments and architecture, history lovers can visit over thirty museum and gallery collections.

You can entertain yourself in several cultural centers and about 20 theaters. Take part in one of the festivities held in Zagreb. Some of them are the world animated film festival, musical biennale, festival of avant-garde music and flower fair, dance and theater festival and the international folklore festival. Those who like to have fun until the early morning hours can do so in various night clubs (“Aquarius”, “Boogaloo”, “Saloon”, “The Best”), cocktail bars (“Fantasy Club”, “Vertigo bar”), clubs (“Crazy Horse”, “Jabuka”, “Močvara), lounge bars (“Fly!Bar”, “Hemingway”, “People’s”) and night bars (“Piranha”, “Paradiso klub”).

Culinary enthusiasts can enjoy the various delicacies of the city from traditional sweets (paprenjak, samoborski bermet and cakes), meat dishes (ham and cheese filled veal, turkey with pasta and broach), to “štrukli” (Croatia’s best known specialty, can be cooked, baked, added to soup or served as dessert). All of these specialties can be found in one of many restaurants such as “Kadena”, “Laguna”, “Kvatrić” and “Kod Dida”. If you wish to enjoy seafood specialties, visit “Bota Šare”, “Bonaca”, “Dida” and “Burin”.

      Amazing, beautiful, very special place. Love Hvar.
      This is one of my favourite places to visit. The town is gorgeous, it is not overcrowded, a real mix of people, so much to do and explore, great food and wine, and just a pleasure to spend everyday in such a magical environment. Hvar is a party destination (if you can afford it, so it attracts fairly well off tourists and party goers) but we were a family and had a great time - it wasn’t noisy and we found lots of peaceful spots. Amazing.

      Euforični Hvar
      Hvar je uistinu ''''kralj otoka'''' kako su ga prozvali, a samo mjesto Hvar je ipak nenadmašno. Rujan je fantastičan mjesec za posjetu ovom idiličnom otoku, a posebno ovom predivnom mjestu. Temperature su idealne za kupanje i sunčanje, osjeti se dašak svježine koja pozitivno utječe na sve, a cijene u restoranima nisu toliko visoke kao možda u ''''punoj'''' sezoni kroz srpanj i kolovoz. Paklinske otoke morate posjetiti sa taxi boat-om (40-60 HRK po osobi), uspon na Španjolu ili Forticu je neizostavan dio boravka (40 HRK po osobi) na otoku, plaže Dubovica, Milna, Zaraće, Vrboska... Mjesto Hvar je središte jahti, brodova, odličnih restorana, predivnih šetnica, čistog mora, savršenog pogleda na obližnje otoke, idealne temperature i velikog broja sunčanih sati, dobre noćne zabave, a za nas (par) je to bio idealni spoj koji se pretvorio u divnu stvarnost te smo odlučili da Hvar bude naša stalna ljetna destinacija !

      It is not a overvelming supply of beach spots in the center. You have to be early for a good spot.

      Party town
      Hvar is recommended for those who like the night life, the many people, the coctails and party. There are a lot of bars along the beach and a lot of people in the center at nights. The town is very beautiful: narrow streets, fascinating panorama from the fortress on the hill, and it has a very good atmosphere. You can rent a motor boat (a small one if you don''t have a licenece) and visit the little islands opposite Hvar. The disadventage of the town that the beaches are not so good, they are very small and crowded. But on the little islands and near te town (Dubovica) the beach is very enjoyable. If you prefer the calm, quiet places, I recommend you Vrboska on the north side of the island.

      We enjoyed our visit to the beautiful island of Hvar.
      We visited Hvar in the fall. Less heat and fewer tourists. A wonderful time.

      Évaluation vie-ambiance à Hvar
      Ville animée, propre, offre d''excursions et loisirs assez large, idem pour la restauration. Bar Nautica sert de très bons cocktails et à une très bonne ambiance le soir
      Prix des restaurants 2fois plus chers qu''ailleurs (mais c''est le jeu puisque nous sommes au saint tropez croate). Pensez à prendre des chaussures d''eau pour la plage (galets qui font mal aux pieds).
