Sightseeing Overview

The city centre lies in two parts: Gornji Grad (Upper Town) and Donji Grad (Lower Town) which meet at Trg Bana Jelačića, the main square. Picturesque Gornji Grad is made up of higgledy-piggledy cobbled streets and buildings dating from medieval times up to the 19th century, including the katedrala (cathedral), Crkva Svetog Marka (St Marks' Church), the Sabor (croatian parliament), the Meštrović Atelier and Dolac (the open-air market). In contrast, Donji Grad follows a geometrical grid-plan, with a series of green squares rimmed by Austro-Hungarian buildings erected from the late 19th century onwards, most notably the Glavni Kolodvor (main train station), the Kazaliste (Theatre) and the Muzej Umjetnost i Obrt (Museum of Arts and Crafts).

The Zagrebcard offers unlimited travel on city public transport, discounts in various museums, restaurants and hotels, as well as favourable deals with some car hire companies and travel agents. It is available from the Tourist Information Centre and most hotels, and is valid for 24 or 72 hours.
