Zagreb is the capital and the largest city of Croatia as well as a major scientific and economic hub. Scenically situated between the southern slopes of the Medvednica Mountains and the northern bank of the Sava River, this dazzling metropolis is called “a city of museums”. The streets of the 19th century Donji grad (lower town) are illuminated by gas lamps and have charming restaurants and quaint shops. There are a plethora of upmarket and business hotels on offer as well as some inexpensive accommodation.
