This isn't really one thing to do so much as a neighborhood to spend time in, but it has a lot of things to do! We spent time here both walking and on a bicycling tour of the city, and enjoyed seeing lots of landmarks (especially the Cathedral and St. Mark's church), museums (especially Broken Relationships) and beautiful views out over the city. This is definitely a part of the city that you'll find yourself spending time in if you visit Zagreb.

The upper town is the older part of Zagreb. Many of the most significant landmarks of the city are located in this area and it’s full of charm. Some of these landmarks include the Dolac market, St Mark Church, the Cathedral and of course the museums. It’s a bit touristy, but worth visiting if you want to soak up the culture.

My favourite area to visit during my stay in Zagreb, upper town is the historical part of the city and certainly where you find most of the tourists.
With restaurants, cafes, shops, narrow laneways and historical buildings the atmosphere is much better than lower town area.
And obviously the views looking down on the city are spectacular.

I was torn on how many stars to give this review since the Cathedral and some of the churches were still closed due to the 2020 earthquake. Work is being done on all, however in talking with some of the locals, no expected completion date has been established. The entire area is very nice to walk around. The park is large with beautiful flowers and fountains. Lots of seating there. There are several shops and restaurants in the area. When we were there on a Saturday, we visited the market. It was very nice with produce in one area, meat in another, and so on. When we returned later that night the market was gone and there were no signs it was ever there. The whole area was clean and spotless. Make your way to Gornji Grad to see the shrine. We also stopped at Park Kralja Tomislava on the way back to the hotel. They were setting up for a musical performance when we arrived. I would recommend coming to Zagreb. You can see everything in a full day without rushing. I look forward to returning to the area in the future to view the Cathedral and St. Mark’s Church on the inside.

Take the funicular from the lower part of town and spend hours exploring the upper town in Zagreb. Consider taking a short walking tour to get an overview as there are lots of things that you can easily miss. But definitely spend time wandering too at your own pace.

Croatia is so much more than Split and Dubrovnik. I really liked Zagreb. The upper City is full of interesting monuments, buildings and churches. It's a wonderful way of spending a few hours walking around, taking pictures and enjoying the ambience

The Upper Town of Zagreb is very pretty and very interesting. We walked both the Upper & Lower town and we also took a bike tour around Zagreb with Blue Bike Tours to learn more about the history. We took a lot of photos of the sites, unfortunately we were not able to enter several of the buildings we wanted to see due to the earthquake in 2020 (building are under renovation).

We took funicular to this place and took a walk along the quite street. We could see the city buildings from here. And there were some interesting place to be visited as well, like City Museum, Lotrscak Tower, Museum of Broken Relationships and St. Mark's Church.

Croatia, to many of us, is a summer beach destination crowned by the jewel of Dubrovnik, and I have no quarrel with any of those pleasures. But the capital, Zagreb, is a relative jewel of Central European architecture, its old section remaining relatively intact and free of Allied bombardment during WW2. Hence you can walk around a vibrant and thrilling town for a whole day without exhausting it. There are a number of flimsy tourist traps, but many great museums on offer. The only drawback is that the Cathedral isn’t always open to tourists. Great value compared to Western Europe.

Probably my favorite part of Zagreb. Lots of winding streets and beautiful old buildings. The Museum of Broken Relationships is here. I took the funicular up for the ride. Unfortunately the Cathedral was closed for restoration when I was there, but still enjoyed strolling around for an hour or two.

My 17 year old daughter would like to experience some night life. Is it safe to put her on a tour alone without parents cramping her style?
Written February 11, 2019
Sorry for the delay. I would think so as the tours usually have good supervision

Hello, I would like to know about excess of tourists and very high temperatures in the first week of July. Is that a very crowded and warm period, requiring lots of patience? Would you recommend Croatia with kids (5 year old boy)? Thank you very much.

There are happy hours, yes --- but it's hit or miss from one establishment to another. What we found with those places that had happy hour, several discounted appetizer-type items, and not drinks (partly, as previously noted, drinks --- especially wine and beer --- are relatively inexpensive.
