Normally we wait until we leave a country to do a wrap up but since we’re going to be visiting a lot of cities in Croatia over a two month period we decided that we’d do one for each city. Here’s our list for things to do in Zagreb…
- The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. A gorgeous Gothic style cathedral.
- Saint Mark’s Church. It has a beautiful roof.
- The Archeological Museum. They have the oldest Etruscan Mummy.
- The Croatian Museum of Naive Art. It’s different and very interesting.
- Visit The National Theater Building. It’s absolutely gorgeous. If they’re doing Turandot run away as fast as you can!
- Stroll down Tkalcicvea Street. You’ll find many ethnic restaurants and it’s the heart of Zagreb’s nightlife.
- Dolac Market. You’ll find fresh vegetables, fish and cheeses.
- Have the salty cheese Strukli at La Struk.
- Have coffee or afternoon tea at Esplanade 1925. It’s where passengers on the Orient Express went.
- Have the blueberry and white chocolate pancakes at Kava Tava.
- Drink the best coffee in Town at Eli’s Cafe.
- Eat Čevapi at either Batak or Čevapi u Somunu (or both).
- Take a day trip to Slovenia. See Ljubljana and Bled.
