Zagreb is a friendly capital of parks, museums and cafes, where interesting places stretch almost without pause. The “Heart of Croatia: A Day in the Rhythm of Zagreb” route leads from the Botanical Garden through science, art and chocolate temptations to the panoramas and water of the Bundeka — all in one busy day. Three stops that fall in love. Church of St. Mark. Its motley smalt roof is covered with the coats of arms of Croatia and Zagreb — recognizable at a glance. Lotrshchak Tower. The rise gives a view of the red roofs, and at noon the sound of a cannon rattle — an urban tradition that has measured noon with precise sound for more than a century. Museum of Broken Relationships. Personal stories from around the world, witty and touching exhibits and a non-trivial exposition, awarded with European awards. Along the way, you will find the Nikola Tesla Technical Museum, the Gallery “Klovichevy Dory”, the Octagon Passage, the Bana Yelachich Square, the Chocolate Museum, the Museum of Illusions, the Zagreb Cathedral, the Museum of Contemporary Art, cozy coffee shops and green squares — the pace is easy adjusts to your mood. Interesting fact: the Zagreb funicular is one of the shortest urban transport lines in the world, its length is only sixty-six meters, and it just connects the upper and lower parts of the city near Lotrschak.
