Zagreb, Croatia’s
northwestern capital, is distinguished by its 18th- and 19th-century
Austro-Hungarian architecture. At its center, Upper Town is the site
of the Gothic, twin-spired Zagreb Cathedral and 13th-century St.
Mark’s Church, with a colorfully tiled roof. Nearby is
pedestrian-friendly Tkalčićeva Street, lined with outdoor cafes.
Lower Town has the main square, Ban Jelačić, plus shops, museums and
parks. The Croatian National Theater, an opulent neo-baroque
landmark, is a venue for drama, opera and ballet as well as an
annual international theater festival. Zagreb is home to many
museums and galleries, such as the sleek Museum of Contemporary Art;
the Mimara Museum, featuring artworks by European masters; the
Croatian Museum of Naïve Art, housed in an old mansion; and the
quirky Museum of Broken Relationships. Jarun Lake, southwest of the
center, is a summer destination for swimming, sailing, restaurants
and nightclubs. Nearby Mt. Medvednica offers skiing and snowboarding
in winter.
