An elegant central European city, a charming old lady with a warm and welcoming soul that quickly gets under your skin. The Upper Town is the site of the Gothic architecture, the pedestrian-friendly Tkalčićeva Street lined up with outdoor cafes and restaurants where the people of Zagreb just love spending their time being together, the Lower town with the main square, Ban Jelačić, a hub to all the major sights in the city, shops, museums and inevitable city parks out of which Zrinjevac is the most adored.
