Gornji Grad

Gornji Grad, Zagreb's Upper Town, which has gorgeous cobblestone lanes and houses with red-tiled roofs, is a lovely site to start a sightseeing tour of the Croatian city. Many of the city's most popular tourist sites are located in Gornji Grad, which was once two different cities called Kaptol and Gradec. The cathedral, the legislature building, as well as a number of churches and museums, are all located here.

Make sure to wander down Tkalciceva Thoroughfare, the city's most well-known street, which is dotted with sidewalk cafes, eateries, and shops. Kaptol Square, known for its numerous structures from the early 17th century, and the Dolac fruit and vegetable market are other attractions. However, St. Mark's Church, which is instantly recognized by its vividly colored tile roof bearing the coats of arms of Croatia, Dalmatia, Slavonia, and Zagreb City, may be the most outstanding feature. Don't forget to visit the interior as well for a look at the magnificent statues by renowned Croatian artist Ivan Mestrovic and the frescoes painted by Jozo Kljakovic.
