| Since
the independence of 1991 Zagreb is the political, economical and cultural
capital of Croatia and has a population of around 770,000. Despite
its importance, Zagreb has managed to retain much of its old charm.
Zagreb is the largest city in Croatia and it is here that most of
the international companies hold offices. The city lies between the
southern slope of the Mt Medvednica and the Sava River and covers
631 square kilometres. Most of the city’s highlights lie within the
upper town (Gornji Grad) with its picturesque
open-air markets, diverse shopping, an abundant selection of crafts
and a wide choice of cuisine. Zagreb is a city of green parks and
walks, with many places to visit in the beautiful surroundings. In
spite of the rapid development of the economy and transportation in
Zagreb, it has managed to retain its charm. |
