Zagreb - Capital Of Croatia

OVERVIEW

Discover the bountiful charms of Zagreb, a culturally diverse city known for its spectacular architecture, impressive museums and fine cuisine. After departing from the pier, you will settle in for a relaxing and immensely scenic drive to Zagreb, the vibrant capital of Croatia. Now surging in popularity thanks to an artistic and culinary revitalization, Zagreb has become Croatia’s must-see inland city. For an in-depth understanding of Zagreb, you will explore it three ways: via a panoramic drive to some of its most important landmarks, on a leisurely walking tour, and then on your own. There is plenty to see throughout the city, whether it’s the more medieval Upper Town, or the more modern Lower Town, you’ll find abundant cafés, shops and squares. Zagreb is also extraordinarily artistic. Museums range from the Strossmayer Gallery of Old Masters to the Museum of Broken Relationships. Voted Europe’s most innovative museum, the latter showcases quirky items that include air-sickness bags from a failed long-distance relationship to an axe that a jilted man used to chop up his ex-lover’s furniture. You will find Zagreb full of surprises, wonderfully engaging and intellectually enriching. Following your walking tour, you will have free time to explore on your own and grab some lunch before rejoining your coach and returning to the ship.
