No trip to Croatia is complete without a stop in its vibrant capital city, Zagreb. Like any European city, Zagreb holidays offer days spent exploring unique architecture, meandering down cobblestone lanes before perching at a cafe on Tkalciceva street for local delights and a spot of people-watching. Caffeine lovers can rejoice as Zagreb takes the art of coffee culture to the next level, turning your morning java into a delicious ritual with friends. Beyond sampling the enchanting city's vibrant food markets, bars and delightful cuisine, travellers are encouraged to keep an eye out for street art on every corner. While the city is home to centuries-old institutions like the Mimara Museum, which houses artworks from Goya and Degas, Croatian artists have also used the city as a canvas for modern masterpieces and creations. During your Croatian city break, take the two-hour drive to Plitvice Lakes National Park, a Balkin oasis with crystal-clear waterfalls flowing into emerald lakes. Don't forget to see if any events will be on throughout your Zagreb holiday stay, as the city is renowned for having a festival for every season.
