At first sight it’s just another neat Austro-Hungarian city, but upon deeper exploration, you will find a place full of surprises. Engage in a fun planet hunt and discover the solar system in an intriguing art installation. While it’s true that Zagreb is becoming more and more flooded by tourists, especially in the summer months, you will still find clandestine and tranquil oases like the atmospheric Rokov perivoj, with its elegant Art Nouveau villas. Get off the beaten track and get introduced to Yugoslavian monumental art in Dotrščina Memorial Park, where offbeat sculptures remind of the tragic history. Wonder at the captivating shape of the French pavilion, evoking a futuristic temple. This and so much more you will discover in Zagreb. By Mirna Marić
