Address: 19 Nikola Šubić Zrinski Sq, Zagreb 10000
The Archaelogical Museum is one of Zagreb's most important institutions, with rich exhibits presented in five collections. Among the best known of its treasures are the bandages of the Zagreb mummy (a linen book which is the world's longest Etruscan inscription), the exquisite Head of a Solin girl, and the Vučedol dove. The museum courtyard...
Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Address: Kaptol 31, 10000 Zagreb
This, of course, is The Cathedral. It dominates most postcards and is a key orientation point when in Zagreb (yes, it is not only beautiful but also invaluable for the geographically challenged). The Kaptol diocese was founded in 1093, and in 1242 an original Romanesque construction was erected on this spot. Since then it has been through multiple...

After seeing Meštrović's work all around the city, round out the experience with a visit to this blissfully serene place. It was the artist's home at the beginning of 20th century, and this is where he created some of his best known work. In 1952 he bequeathed it to the then People's Republic of Croatia; it now houses a permanent...

Address: Mirogoj bb, Zagreb 10000
Mirogoj is exceptionally beautiful, especially when ivy adorning its domed arcades turns crimson in the early autumn. But not all is in the looks, for Mirogoj literally charts the history of this city and its land. All the Croatian greats are buried here; the most outstanding monuments, built by the most outstanding architects and stonemasons,...

Address: Savska cesta 18, Zagreb 10000
Years of school trips have not diminished the sense of wonder and joy this place gives to Zagreb's big and little boys and girls. Where else can you find this cornucopia of 19th-century fire engines, old fighter planes, a 1930s diving suit, planetarium AND the opportunity to climb into a WWII Italian submarine? If you book a guided tour (for tours...

Address: Opatička ulica 20, Zagreb 10000
Here in Old Town, all the stories you have read or heard from enthusiastic Zagrebians come together and may finally make sense. This is cleverly done using city models and interactive displays that trace the city's development from earliest days until now. A special part of the exhibition is dedicated to the scenes and circumstances of the mortar...
Zagreb funicular & Strossmayer Promenade
Category: Best Attractions & Activities - Zagreb Attractions & Activities
Address: Tomićeva bb, Zagreb 10000
Zagreb's funicular may be one of the shortest at just 66 meters, but its 55-second ride (progressively more exciting the younger you are) will take you to another world, far removed from crowds of the Lower Town. The journey starts at Tomićeva Street, just off Ilica. Exit a few meters away from the Lotršćak Tower and right in front...
