Zagreb is very well connected to other countries and other parts of Croatia. The airport is 17 kilometres from the city centre. Besides the national air carrier, Croatia Airlines, the capital is connected to the world by foreign air companies with regular and charter flights. Thanks to a modern system of highways Zagreb is well connected by road as it is by rail.
The Zagreb environs (www.tzzz.hr) are attractive and have a lot to offer, with their vineyards, Wine Roads, medieval and Baroque-period castles (the greatest concentration of castles after the Loire valley), and their many medicinal thermal springs – renovated and now a real Thermal Riviera.
A special tourist attraction is the original ethno-village of Kumrovac. The Zagreb environs are just as attractive to athletes as they are those in search of recreation, to those who enjoy the beauties of nature, customs, traditional culture and architecture.
