Zagreb Tourism

Zagreb, the capital of and largest city in Croatia, is a city of rich history and arts, entertainment and sports. With its attractions, beauty and organisational capabilities it is host to congresses and arts, sports and other events. This central European city is, in the true sense of the word, like a magnet attracting visitors who want to get to know its past and present – read on the streets of the Upper City, the somewhat younger, but no longer young, Lower City and those of New Zagreb.

An excellent hotel infrastructure is adapted to their needs so that visitors – whether they're here on business or pleasure – can choose among hotels belonging to global chains or smaller hotels, also of proven quality. There is a rich offer of cuisine that combines the best of Mediterranean cooking with time-honoured continental cuisine. For those who prefer not to change their habits there is international cuisine on offer. Tourists will be attracted by the varied shopping offer. Since the first pen, whose inventor is Slavoljub Penkala, launched its triumphant course right here from Zagreb perhaps it, or a tie (the cravat, also a Croatian invention), will be an ideal souvenir from Croatia. The choice, of course, is great.

The Zagreb Indoors event is a draw for many top international tennis players. The city is also home to the Jarun Sports & Recreation Centre – a favourite outing area for the people of Zagreb and their guests. Regatta lanes are fitted out for international and local competitions, as are cycling trails, beaches and an excellent offer of restaurants.
To help visitors find their way around easier and to bring the attractions closer there is the Zagreb Card, offering consumers several advantages: free rides on public transport, savings at almost all of the city's museum, many restaurants, shops, services and many other benefits. The Zagreb Card costs 12 Euros and can be used for 72 hours from the date and time printed on it. The Zagreb Card can be purchased on-line, at all tourist information centres in the city of Zagreb and at the receptions of larger Zagreb hotels.

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.
