Zagreb Croatia, an Amazing Timeless City that Cruises Miss

Many people dream of visiting Croatia. When people tell us the cities they visited, Zagreb typically isn’t one of them. Most of the time, people visit Croatia from a cruise ship which means they only see the popular coastal cities and their crystal blue waters like Dubrovnik or Split. While these cities may be beautiful, they are crowded with tourists. Because of the constant supply of tourists from cruise ships, restaurants and shop owners prices are higher than the typical inland Croatian city.

The inland and capital city of Zagreb is the new hot place to go. Zagreb is a timeless city that blends history, café culture and captivating architecture with friendliness, graciousness and the unexpected. Zagreb has a big city small town charm. It has a large old hilltop district of cobblestone streets and squares lit to this day by gas lamps that add to the charm. Take the time to stray from the large crowds and visit Zagreb while in Croatia. Here are our recommendations of what to see and do while there.
