WITNESSING THE CROATIAN CAPITAL, ZAGREB WITH A MOTORHOME

In the Croatian capital, Zagreb, the main sightseeing area is the medieval Gornji Grad (Upper Town) district. Here, popular tourist attractions include the cathedral with its neo-Gothic façade, twin steeples, and treasury with its large collection of religious art and artifacts; the Croatian Parliament (Hrvatski sabor); the Church of St. Mark with its famous colored tiled roof; and the 13th-century Tower of Lotrščak, which you can climb for fantastic views over the city and the surrounding area. The outdoor coffee drinking culture is very important in Croatia, so don’t be surprised by multitudes of people sitting outside and chatting. The best place where you can experience this as a local is at Cvjetni Trg (Flower Square), or at Tkalčićeva Street - a place where the sounds of music mix with laughter and cheering round tables. Those 2 locations are full of coffee bars one next to another.

If you decide to visit Zagreb in winter then you definitely heard of Advent in Zagreb. During December Zagreb turns into a magical fairy tale with a variety of events and even more magical food offer. Zagreb is truly fabulous during Advent and was  voted the best Christmas market in Europe for the third time in a row.
