History
The oldest public park in south-eastern Europe (1794), 316 hectares of English-style landscaping, lakes, follies and Croatia's national zoo. Perfect for a green afternoon between museum visits — bring a picnic and rent a boat on the middle lake.
“Maksimir was opened to the public in 1794 — earlier than New York's Central Park (1858) and even Berlin's Volkspark Friedrichshain (1848).”
