About About the place

Zagreb’s Upper Town is a beautifully preserved historical district offering a step back in time. Characterized by its charming, narrow cobblestone streets, well-preserved medieval and baroque architecture, and stunning panoramic views of the lower city, it provides a distinct contrast to the bustling Lower Town. Key landmarks include the iconic St. Mark’s Church with its colorful tiled roof, government buildings, and a variety of museums, art galleries, quaint shops, and inviting cafes and restaurants. Easily accessible by foot or the funicular, the area offers a peaceful atmosphere and a unique glimpse into Croatian history and culture.

This park is amazing and has beautiful scenery. It is a perfect spot to take a good walk or even go for a run. There is a dedicated trail, well managed in the park. The trees by the trail are just beautiful and provide a lot of good air. There are also benches in the park where you can sit and relax.

The cathedral is hundreds of years old and has a magnificent architecture. The murals and the walls are simply stunning. We got a chance to witness the prayer ceremony and it was divine. Do visit this place and do enjoy it.

The place is so beautiful that I could not take my eyes off it. The place is a heritage building which has stunning architecture and the Victorian style walls are simply amazing. We visited the place on a weekday and it had a lot of people. But things were arranged in a proper way and we could have the tour nicely.

We were so excited to visit this place but were thoroughly disappointed while reaching and looking at the mismanaged affair. The place was crowded with tourists and there was no system to arrange them. The staff was also very rude.

It is the most beautiful building I witnessed which is architecturally detailed. The building structure was royal and the building exhibits a regal vibe to it. Visiting this place was an amazing experience and the place is truly a stunning place.

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience..

Do visit this place and do enjoy it.
