Zagreb
is Croatia’s fascinating and historic capital, with an interesting mixture
of architecture. When strolling in the Upper Town, with its cobble-stone
streets and red-roofs, visit the Gothic Zagreb Cathedral. Also gaze at
the colourful and interesting tiled roof of the 13th-century St. Mark’s
Church. Enjoy a stroll along Tkalciceva Street with its many outdoor cafes.
Then head to the short, steep Funicular Railway, which was constructed
in 1888 and takes you quickly and easily down to Lower Town.
