Zagreb
Strossmajerov Šetalište (Strossmayer Promenade)
This romantic footpath offers the finest views over Zagreb. The most amusing way to reach it is by funicular (from Tomiceva, just off Ilica), although it is also quite feasible to walk up. Close to the funicular station stands the 13th-century Kula Lotrscak (Lotrscak Tower), from where the city cannon is fired daily at noon.
Maksimir Park
East of the city centre, the 18-hectare (45 acre) Maksimir Park dates back to the late 18th century. A vast expanse of lush green lawns and woods, the English-style landscaping includes artificial lakes and romantic follies. There is also a small zoo.
Zagreb Zoo, Maksimirski perivoj bb
