Mirogoj, the central cemetery in Zagreb, is located on the slopes
of Medvednica and is considered to be one of the most beautiful cemeteries in Europe. Howev-
er, Mirogoj is also a beautiful park and an outdoor art gallery. The arcades are the most beau-tiful part of the cemetery – the construction bega in 1879, only
three years after Mirogoj was opened, and they were complet-ed thirty eight years later. Miro-
goj is the resting place of many famous Croats and the complex also contains a number of valu-
able monuments made by promi-nent Croatian artists.

8The picturesque St. Mark's Church is
one of the oldest build-ings in Zagreb and one of its symbols, distinctive for its roof made of multicolor roof tiles. The church has existed since the 13th cen-tury, but it famous roof is much younger – it was in-stalled during its most re-cent reconstruction in the second half of the 19th
century. The roof features emblems of the Croatian regions of Dalmatia and Slavonia on the left side, and the Zagreb City em-blem on the right side. There are three altars in the interior, sculpted by Ivan Meštrovićm, and Kljaković's sacristy paint-ed from the floor to the ceiling. Organ concerts of-ten take place here.
As one of the best preserved mon-uments of old Zagreb, this is the only remaining gate of the former city defense system. It was built in the 13th century and given its present design in 1760. The pas-
sageway within the gate contains a chapel with a picture of St. Mary of the Stone Gate, the city guardian, which according to a legend sur-vived a major fire in 1731 without any damage.STONE GATE

8The history of the Art Pavilion is in a way the
history of the Croatian 20th century fine arts. This is one of the oldest exhibition areas in this part of Europe, spe-
cifically designed for major exhibitions. It is situated be-tween the Central Railway Station and Zrinjevac, in the very heart of Lenuci’s Green Horseshoe.
ART PAVILION
FUNICULAR
8The funicular pro-vides organized pub-
lic transport of passen-gers to the upper part of Zagreb. It connects the Downtown and the Old Town every working day and on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from 6.30am to 10pm and has to this day retained its original exterior design and struc-ture, as well as most of the technical characteris-tics given to it by its build-ers in 1890 when it was opened. It leaves every ten minutes and the price of one ride is HRK 4. Com-pared to other cable cars intended for public trans-port, its track of only 66 meters makes it the short-est one in the world.
Zagreb CathedralThe Cathedral of the As-sumption of Blessed Vir-gin May, Saint Stephen and Saint Ladislaus, or the Zagreb Cathedral is the largest Croatian sa-cral building and one of the most valuable monu-ments of the Croatian cultural heritage. The church has stood in the same location since 1093 and the construction of the present building be-gan in the 13th century. The last major recon-struction was made at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, while the tow-ers are still being recon-structed in stages. The church is open for tour-ists, may be entered at any time of the day, and a mass in Croatian is held several times a day.
ZagrebTIMES 11THURSDAY / 01 JUNE / 2017
Hundreds of food pro-ducers from Zagreb and
its surrounding areas arrive every day at the Dolac marketplace, lo-cated only a few steps
from the central city square, to sell fresh
fruits, vegetables, meat, cheese and cream, flow-
ers… Dolac is referred to as the city belly be-
cause it has fed the local residents for 85 years. At the top of the stairs there is a sculpture of a traditional producer
and seller - kumica.
Croatian National Theater8The neo-baroque
Croatian National Theater building, a mas-terpiece of late historicism designed by the Austrian architect Ferdinand Fell-
ner and German architect Hermann Helmer, is cer-tainly one of the most im-pressive buildings in Za-greb. Opened in 1895 and seating 750 people, it has
one iron curtain and seven painted curtains displayed on different formal occa-sions. Theatre goers can enjoy drama, opera or bal-let there.
LOTRŠĆAK DOLAC
St. Catherine’s
Church
The tower was built in mid-13th century to protect the south city gate and has been used throughout history as living quarters, a ware-house, a coffee shop… Tourists can enjoy a spectacular view of the city from the top of the tower, visit an exhibi-tion or buy some local products in the souve-nir shop. The Grič Can-on is on the fourth floor, and it greets the resi-dents of Zagreb every day precisely at noon.
St. Catherine’s Church is the most famous Croa-tian baroque church. It is located on Katarina
Zrinska Square, erected as part of a former Jesuit
complex in Zagreb Old Town. It was built from 1620 to 1632 and its six
side chapels contain five baroque altars dating
back to the 17th century, and a marble altar from
1732.

Museum of Broken Relationships
Lauba cooperates, exhibits and shares knowledge with peer institutions to keep up to date with and encourage modern art production in Croatia. In addition to unusual exhibits and features, Lauba is designed as a House for People and Art, available to all audiences.
The Museum is a result of a traveling exhibition
of items deriving from broken relationships. An
emotional separation may be overcome by
donating memories to the museum collection
and thus recognizing the end of the relationship.
The Kulmer Palace is full of different objects, from matchboxes to wedding
gowns.
A fearless fighter for human rights and the first female journalist in Croatia has always been one step ahead of her time. She became famous for her romantic novels with elements of national history. The statue is the work of Stjepan Gračan.

young travellers and tourists.Anna Tyler, the Editor-in-Chief of the famous travel guide Lonely Plan-et, lists a number of reasons why Za-greb tops their list of best European destinations. Some of them are the numerous museums, including the Museum of Torture, the Museum of Illusions, and the Museum of Broken Relationships that is the only muse-um of its kind in the world, attract-ing numerous tourists who are look-ing for traditional culture, as well as those who are looking for something alternative. The editors write that the city itself has a lot of Austro-Hungar-ian architecture, numerous foun-tains, parks, as well as a large num-ber of urban buildings painted with graphite.Affordable prices and a great selec-
tion of domestic craft beer are also some of the factors that appeal to those who are on a limited budget.Numerous cafe bars, the atmosphere for enjoyable experience of having coffee on the terraces, and night-clubs are a perfect escape for those who need relaxation, rest, or even an adventure.According to Lonely Planet, with the opening of the new airport, it has never been easier and cheaper to get to Zagreb. The Swedish prov-ince of Gotland ranked second, Span-ish Galicia third, Northern Mon-tenegro fourth, and Leeds in Great Britain fifth. The Portuguese region of Alentejo, northern Germany, Mol-dova, Paphos in Cyprus and Le Havre in the Normandy region of France are also on the list.
ACCORDING TO LONELY PLANET, WITH THE OPENING OF THE NEW AIRPORT, IT HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER AND CHEAPER TO GET TO ZAGREB.
THE EDITORS OF LONLEY PLANET WRITE THAT THE CITY IS RICH IN AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN ARCHITECTURE, NUMER-OUS FOUNTAINS AND GREEN PARKS

VIVID MARKET
Dolac is Zagreb's central market, located between the church of St. Mary and Kaptol. If you want to get to know Zagreb and its inhabitants you must visit this tradicional market know for best homade productsAUTHOR VIKTORIJA MACUKIĆ, IVA TADIĆPHOTO BRUNO KONJEVIĆ/HANZA MEDIA

DOLAC
8To visit Zagreb and not go to Dolac, Zagreb's
central market, would be a real pity. Visiting the Dolac Market early in the morning is the best way for you to get to know Zagreb and its in-habitants.A symbol of Dolac, the old-est market in Zagreb, are the cheerful red umbrellas. Be-low the umbrellas, you will find plenty of fruits, vegeta-bles, and homemade prod-ucts such as cottage cheese and cream, which are a popular local dish. Cot-tage cheese and cream are used to prepare homemade štrukli, a traditional Croa-tian dish which you have to try when you are in Zagreb.
Interestingly enough, the umbrellas themselves have a story to tell. The Šestine umbrella which has become a recognizable souvenir of Zagreb over the years has always complemented the traditional costume of Za-greb, the folk costume from Šestine. The picture of these umbrellas in Dolac is one of the most popular images of the city of Zagreb.At Dolac, you will come across a large number of saleswomen whom the in-habitants of Zagreb still call kumice (farm women). It was a title given to women from Prigorje who used to carry baskets filled with domestic fruits and vegetables on their

heads from the farms every day. In their honour, a stat-ue of kumica was placed in 2006 right at the entrance to the market, when you climb up the stairs from Ban Josip Jelačić Square. The statue is very popular among the visi-tors of Dolac, many of whom have taken a ‘selfie’ with ku-mica Barica.Today's saleswomen are also in the mood for tak-ing photos. Kumica Matica Štef has been selling pro-duce for 50 years, and has had her own stand in Dol-ac for 20 years. Her regular customers, as well as any-one new who comes there, can always find kale, car-rots, lettuce, potatoes, and
other domestic and fresh vegetables.The Dolac Market is not only a plateau between the church of St. Mary and Kap-tol. Below the plateau there is the best fish market in the city, and in the lower part there is a rich offer of other domestic products.To visit Dolac you need to give yourself time, get to know it thoroughly, and find and get acquainted with the best groceries and sales-women. Dolac and its sur-rounding cafes, delicatessen shops, wine bars and bis-tros are the best places for morning coffee, mingling and breakfast in the city. Do not miss it.
The Dolac Market extends all the way to Opatovina, a city street where you can buy clothes and shoes. Opatovina and Dolac are separated by the statue of Petrica Kerempuh, a character from a novel by Croatian journalist and writer Marija Jurić Zagorka, whose apartment was located in Dolac. Today, the Memorial Centre of Marija Jurić Zagorka in situated there. The statue of the journalist is located a few meters away, in Tkalčićeva street. If you go to Dolac from Ban Jelačić Square, you will be enchanted by the smells and colours of Splavnica, the place where the nicest bouquets and flowers in the city are sold. Splavnica is located below the stairs leading to Dolac and is an indispensable stop for all market visitors.
ON THE STAND OF THE RADOŠEVIĆ FAMILY, THE BEEKEEPERS, THERE IS A ABUNDANCE OF VARIOUS TYPES OF HONEY, AS WELL AS THE POPULAR FLO-RAL POWDER.
HISTORYAlthough the inhabitants of Zagreb mostly remember the recent history of the Dolac Market dating back to 1930 when it was opened at today's location, before it was established it used to be called the Harmica Market and it was located in Ban Josip Jelačić Square. The market has always been the belly of Zagreb and an indispensable place where citizens get together while buying groceries for lunch. Dolac is located above the former city walls, where the poor part of the city used to be. The location was proposed by Viktor Kovačić, the famous architect from Zagreb. The market has been operating there since 1930. Last year, it was only moved to a different location because of the restoration of the plateau.

Zagreb offers great variety of places that children will enjoy. Take them to Maksimir, ride around the town in the tourist train, visit the biggest little railway model in this part of the Europe... And be sure - it's not only the kids who will love those activities, so will you!
8Zagreb ZOO stretches on 7 hectares of the south-
ern part of Maksimir Park, and boasts nearly 300 animal spe-cies. The ZOO has numerous external dwellings and sever-al theme pavilions. The oldest inhabitant is a crocodile from Nile, who came to live here in 1972. The ZOO organizes events, workshops and presentations.The ZOO was under construction for two years, and follow-ing the completions of works last year it was opened for visi-tors. One of the nov-elties is a large avi-ary for hundreds of African birds. There is also the new entrance with video surveillance and a visi-tor counter, an additional east entrance, a souvenir shop with around 300 authentic souvenirs that is thre times larger than the previous one, and an addition-
al educational centre. The boil-er room that used to run on fuel oil has been turned into an en-vironment-friendly one, running on pellets. Two bridges have been built and cultural monuments have been restored – the Napoli Fisher-
man (Napuljski rib-ar), and the Lion’s Bridge (Lavlji most), adorned with four new stone lion stat-ues onto which eve-ry child wants to climb to have their picture taken.The spacious Kide-po Lion’s Rock was also erected, as well as a new enclosure for the globally en-dangered red pan-da, and a Madagas-car area. A so-called
“spider’s web” made out of rope, trampolines, benches and deck chairs has been fitted on Swan Island (Labuđi otok) which has recently been connected via Darwin’s Bridge.
8A few years ago Zagreb Electric Tram company (ZET) introduced
free train rides for tourists, and kids are crazy about them. The train rides every weekend between 10am and 7.20pm, eve-ry 40 minutes, along the following route: Ban Jelačić Square, Ilica, Frankopanska, Masarykova, Teslina, Praška, Jurišićeva to Trg žrtava fašizma, and then back to the central square.

BACKO MINI EXPRESSThe biggest model train in Southeast Europe can be found in Gundulićeva street 4. The man behind the idea is Antun Urbić, who got his first model train from Switzerland when he was five. He was fascinat-ed by mini trains which looked exactly like the real thing, so he decided to make his first model in the attic of his house. He soon developed the idea of opening it for visitors. Today he has over 1000 meters of rails and nearly 100 trains, railways sta-tions, and shops. During winter days and the very famous Advent in Zagreb event a model of the Snow Queen ski race was added, and it was a huge success. Backo Mini Express broke all records when it introduced an Advent Fairytale, hosting more than 2700 foreign visitors, which is a 50% increase compared to last year. Backo Mini Express is open for visitors every day.

8Go to Popov toranj and reach for the stars… The
tower dome is home to a century-old Zagreb observatory, opened on 5 December 1903. City fa-thers believed that Popov toranj was ideal for an observatory, as it stands high enough over the city, and the telescope can reach above the polluted atmosphere layers, where the clear sky opens right before your eyes. The tower is in the very centre of Zagreb, and can be reached on foot.

8Children who are 14 and older can play a
popular game room es-cape – they are locked in a room, and have 60 min-utes to find a way out by solving different puzzles. Considering the size of the city, Zagreb’s offer of room escape venues plac-es it in the very top – the total of 10 rooms are on of-fer in four locations. Es-cape room is a game for two to six players (some-times a maximum of five), who have an hour to dis-cover all hidden objects and keys, decipher codes, solve puzzles and riddles, think logically, and work together on solving the problem and finally break-ing out. Children and par-ents can choose from four different room escapes in Zagreb and play the one they like the most.
8Not far from Zagreb city center, a center
for children and adults has been opened which gives you an opportunity to spend your free time in a fun and educational way choosing between 250 wooden games, puz-zles and different brain teasers and riddles.A smart playground is an educational center unique in the world, intended for both children and adults, opened on Zavrtnica, not far from Zagreb city cent-er. It is an entirely new concept which gives vis-itors an opportunity to spend their free time in a fun and educational way choosing between 250 wooden games, puzzles and different brain teas-ers and riddles. All visi-
tors in the educational center have an opportuni-ty to stimulate their brain and keep if fit through play and fun, with profes-sional staff that will help them solve games and ap-ply what they learned in everyday life.The first part of this edu-cational center consists of a smart playroom where all age groups areallowed, whether com-ing as families, individu-als or groups. Here, they can play games that re-quire a lot of brain rack-ing, such as the world’s most famous brain teas-ers: tangram, pentom-ino, the love test, pyra-mid, and many others. Some of the games are of XXL size, so solving them activates the en-
tire human body, and some are competitive, so players need to make an effort to think as fast and hard as they can. The smart playroom is open for all visitors, eve-ry day from 9 am until 10 pm. All activities can be carried out in Croatian, English or Spanish.

MUST TRY
In local restaurans ask for specialties from this region and shop for products that reflect the unique identity of Zagreb surroundingsAUTHOR RENE BAKALOVIĆ
8Zagreb’s gastronomy is a perfect combination of culinary traditions – of the clergy, the nobility
and then the bourgeois, the so-called purgeraj (from the German word Burger meaning citizen), and the rustic tradition of the picturesque ring encircling the city: Zagorje and Prigorje, which developed for nine long centuries. In the urban life of Zagreb, the resi-dents always wanted to show they were able to keep up with the global culinary trends present in major metropolitan centers in neighboring countries – Vien-na and Budapest. Women from the villages of Zagorje and Prigorje brought first-class fresh ingredients to marketplaces in Zagreb on a daily basis. This top se-lection available in Zagreb’s marketplaces has spread to all Croatian regions, as it becomes evident in the restaurants all over the city: Dalmatian, Istrian and Slavonian cuisine. They are now an exhibition of Cro-atian gastro icons.

This two-piece dairy package has developed into a symbol of authentic culinary heritage. Extremely simple, yet very delicate. This cult-status duo is only produced from the milk of cows grazing unpolluted pastures, unquestionably fresh full-fat sour cream and carefully drained cheese. Beside fresh bread, you only need a little salt and perhaps some hot paprika.
Cottage cheese and cream
ŠTRUKLIŠtrukli is a favorite coocked or gratinated pastry, a result of
the transformation of the German strudel on its way east. Štrukli are commonly mentioned in the context
of presenting Croatia to the world. It makes sense: the stuffing consists of cheese
and cream. In Esplanade, the most prestigious hotel both in former
Yugoslavia and now in Croatia, štrukli has been enjoyed by kings and queens, the most prominent statesmen, and the greatest stars of the film
and music industries.
KRAM POGAČEPork scratches are not exclusive to Croatia, but nobody is as mad about them as Croats are. The best ones are sold at very high prices. We love pork scratches so much we put them in the basic food product - pogača, the predecessor of bread. Kram pogača is a small pogača seasoned with ground pork scratches and pepper. These small bites are perfectly combined with a glass of wine or beer.
ZAGORJE SOUPCroats love soups and make them from all kinds of ingredients. Broths like this Zagorje soup can replace an entire meal. This is no wonder - a real Zagorje soup inevitably contains enough good cured meat, dry and fresh mushrooms, root vegetables, onions, garlic and potatoes, hot paprika, pepper, laurel leaf, wine vinegar and, finally, a spoon of sour cream.
TURKEY WITH MLINCIIn its native country of America, turkeys are now huge domesticated
birds. The Zagorje turkey is the smallest protected species, semi-wild
and requiring plenty of outdoor space to survive. This is why its meat it fabulously
succulent. It does not require lots of spices, only mlinci, a traditional kind of pasta gratinated on a wood oven and then doused in gravy, as a side dish.

For as long as these parts have been inhabited, wine has been an inseparable component of both the daily routine and festivitiesAUTHOR SAŠA ŠPIRANEC
The great local wine varieties
8Wine is one of the most valuable elements of
the Croatian tradition and gastronomic heritage. For as long as these parts have been inhabited, wine has been an inseparable compo-nent of both the daily routine and festivities. Over centu-ries, each Croatian wine re-gion developed its own dis-tinctive wine varieties that fully adapted to the climate, soil and expectations of their residents. When you find yourself in one of the wine regions of Croatia such as Dalmatia,
Istria, Hilly Croatia or Sla-vonia, don’t forget to taste some of the wines favorite among the local population.In Dalmatia, it is plavac mali. This is the most important and the most represented red variety in Croatia. It yields soft, ripe and succu-lent wines when offered in a lower price range and origi-nates from Dalmatian fields situated in ravines hidden in endless karst. On the other hand, when it comes from steep slopes facing the sun and the sea, usually from islands or peninsulas such
as Hvar, Brač and Pelješac, it gives powerful, warm, strong and ripe wines, per-fectly reflecting the harsh conditions that created them with their richness and con-centration.When in Istria, malvazija is the most important variety to try. A white wine full of freshness and pleasant aro-mas of ripe fruits, such as peaches and hints of blos-soming acacias. In addition to this basic edition, malva-sia can also be found in more ambitious forms after ageing for a long time and develop-

tip!
ing a more complex aromat-ic set.When in hilly Croatia, look for aromatic white varieties such as sauvignon blanc or Riesling (locally referred to as rajnski rizling). They also use many other varieties to make wine in the region, but what they all have in com-mon are lively acids and a highly refreshing character. The wines of hilly Croatia work ideally as an aperitif, refreshment in summertime, or to go with a light meal.Slavonia and the Danube Region are an empire of graševina, the most impor-tant and represented white variety, but also a general type. Graševina is a good-times wine, and is ideal to go with your lunch. It is normal-ly bold and refreshing with attractive aromas of apple, pineapple or citrus, and is offered at very affordable prices. Sometimes, when it comes from later harvests, it shows quite a different face and its aromas.

8The region of Zagorje lies in the northwest
part of Croatia.That relative-ly small piece of land boasts an extraordinary rich histo-ry and cultural heritage. No other part of Croatia can offer that many medieval castles and fortifications, churches and abbeys, and archeologi-cal sites that attract visitors. All those sights build solid foundation for the develop-ment of tourism. As an in-land destination, it doesn’t always receive the tourist at-tention it deserves. But who-ever visited Zagorje’s green plains and pastures, prom-
ised to return and enjoy its calm beauty once more. But where to start enjoying it, one might ask? Stars at Peas-ant’s revolt museum. Long be-fore our current financial cri-ses, political corruption led to revolts and mutinies. In Cro-atia, one such rebellion oc-curred in 16th century, when illiterate peasants formed an army capable of threatening Zagreb itself. Unfortunately, these poor souls were defeat-ed by royal guards, and their leader Matija Gubec was exe-cuted. He became a synonym of justice and determination, as can be seen in the museum.
This small part of land boasts an extraordinarily rich cultural heritage. Whoever visited Zagorje’s green plains and pastures, promised to return and enjoy its calm beauty once more AUTHOR SINIŠA BAHUN KUMROVEC

Many years ago, Zagorje was inhabited with a vast number of Neanderthals. In our modern society, we often use their name to describe savages, which is quite unjust knowing how fascinating their communities were. Learn more about them in the Museum of Krapina Neanderthals, featuring dolls created by the same crew which handled special effects of “Lord of the Ring” films.
You have had enough of history and archeology? Then it’s time to enjoy some swimming. Zagorje might be far away from beautiful shores of the Adriatic, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have its very own beaches. With numerous natural springs and developed supporting infrastructure, Zagorje seems like a giant spa resort. Visit thermal centers of Tuhelj and Jezercica for some relaxing and unique treatments.

8The largest, the oldest and the most popular national park in Croatia boasts 16 lakes and numerous creeks
and brooks. The park enjoys the protection of the UNESCO as natural heritage, due to its exquisite beauty of the woods and the blue-greens of the water which creates a special atmosphere. The Korana river, one of four Karlovac rivers, has its source in the area of Plitvice Lakes. The Korana has four waterfalls and flows toward the Golubinjača river. Five years ago the park recorded over a million tourists, an all-
time high. The Tourist Board claims that the beauty of this natural pearl cannot be described with words – it has to be experienced first-hand.
8The birth place of Nikola Tesla is in fact a vil-lage with 500 inhabitants. This is the place
where Tesla learned math, religion and German, and then continued his ed-ucation in Gospić, Karlo-vac and Graz. The memo-rial centre in Smiljan was opened on the 150th anni-versary of Tesla’s birth, and it comprises his home, the church of St. Apostles Pe-ter and Paul, barns, a mon-ument, and a multimedia centre for visitors.
