Overview
About Zagreb & Surroundings
Croatia's capital wears its Austro-Hungarian past on its sleeve: cobbled Gornji Grad above, Habsburg boulevards and Vienna-style coffeehouses below. Above it looms Medvednica mountain with Medvedgrad fortress; below, Samobor's cream cakes and the Zumberak hills are all a short train ride away.
