Modern Zagreb is much more than the city on the two hills (Old Town). The lower town, which comprises the rest of the city that grew outwards from the two hills, was built by Hungarian rulers during the 17th and 18th centuries. Predictably, Zagreb’s skyline is dominated by a plethora of monuments and large ornate buildings that are visible on every street and every corner. These buildings boast diverse styles, indicating that different rulers have left their individual mark on the city. These include Gothic, Baroque and Neo-Renaissance, as well as a mix of some or all of these. Especially arresting is the domed, ochre building housing the Croatian National Theatre. Other buildings to visit are the Art Pavilion, Museum of Arts and Crafts, Mimara Museum, Croatian State Archives, Glavni kolodvor and Hotel Esplanade, which was built to house the guests of the Orient Express.
