Itinerary

1. „It was the year 903, when trouble befell our Croatia. Hedervary raised the Hungarian flags, trying to forcefully Hungarianize our Croatia. Rise, oh Ban, Croatia calls you, calls you. Rise, Ban Jelačić! There isn’t a hero, there isn’t a Croat, like Jelačić the Ban was. But now the black earth hides him, and green grass has covered his grave“ – the lyrics of the well-known patriotic song in honor of today’s most famous inhabitant depicted on the central square in Zagreb, Ban Jelačić Square.

2. At the turn of the 20th century Tkalčićeva Street was the main centre for brothels. At one stage every other building was a bordello. Today the street is one of the most popular Zagreb attractions full of cafes and bars.

About Zagreb

Zagreb is Croatia's capital, a city of two historic towns, cathedral spires, café-lined streets and green parks beneath Mount Medvednica.

Zagreb has two historic halves. The Upper Town, Gornji Grad, sits on a hill with cobbled lanes, the tiled-roof church of St Mark and the Lotrščak Tower, from which a cannon is fired at noon each day. Below, the Lower Town has Austro-Hungarian squares, theatres and museums around Ban Jelačić Square, with the twin neo-Gothic spires of the cathedral just east and a short funicular linking the two parts.

Top-ranked sights in Zagreb: Ban Jelačić Square (Trg Bana Jelačića), Gric Tunnel (Tunel Gric), Dolac Market.
