Writing a detailed guide for Zagreb Upper Town…
Zagreb's Gornji Grad (Upper Town) is the older, more atmospheric half of the capital. St. Mark's church with its tile-mosaic roof anchors a quiet square, the Lotrščak Tower fires its noon cannon, and the Museum of Broken Relationships sits a block away. Walk down via the world's shortest funicular (66 m).
Fun facts
- The Zagreb Funicular (66 m) is one of the shortest public funiculars in the world.
- A cannon has fired from Lotrščak Tower at exactly noon every day since 1877.
- Zagreb still employs gas-lamp lighters who light around 200 lamps in the Upper Town by hand each evening.
