Situated on the banks of the Sava River, Croatia’s capital Zagreb is located in a rather unique position. Standing on the historic and political threshold between East and West Europe, there are predictably a number of references to both, which have been seamlessly integrated into the contemporary setting. There are various things to see and do in Zagreb, which boasts heritage monuments, parks, lakes, markets and much more. But above all these, its streets are dotted with pavement cafes filled with cheerful people who still have distant memories of the gory struggle for independence, but who have slowly learnt to forget. Thus, there are many things to see and do in this charming city for every kind of visitor.
