Trésors cachés à Zagreb

Hidden Gems

Zagreb's quieter corners reveal a mix of Austro-Hungarian elegance and eccentric modern history. This collection spans the Upper Town’s medieval fortifications, like the 13th-century Stone Gate and Lotrščak Tower, to the Lower Town’s 'Green Horseshoe' parks, including the 19th-century Zrinjevac and the Botanical Garden. Cultural highlights range from the Art Nouveau Croatian State Archives to specialized institutions like the Museum of Broken Relationships and the Atelijer Meštrović, which preserves the former home and studio of Croatia’s most renowned sculptor.
