zagreb city breaks europeholidays.com.au

Zagreb, the capital of Croatia is sometimes overlooked as it doesn’t have the Adriatic Beaches but that would be a huge mistake as it has lots to offer as a destination. The city is divided into three parts and all are very different. Zagreb has a distinguished 18th and 19th Century Austro-Hungarian architectural flair.

The 1000 year old medieval quarter set in cobbled streets of Gornji Grad (Upper Town), is home to the 13th Century Church of St Mark, a Neo-Gothic Cathedral, the Presidential Palace and the Sabor (Croatian Parliament). It also houses some fine museums and galleries. The Museum of Broken Relationships features seemingly mundane and insignificant objects accompanied by captions that explain their relevance in a failed relationship. It explores the love, pain, drama, irony, humour and reconciliation of break-ups.
