Both of us were so delighted by the Croatian coast but were not too sure about whether to go to the capital, Zagreb. We are so glad that we did. It was a delightful town full of lots to see and do. The people were friendly, the Austro-Hungarian architecture interesting and there seemed to be an endless number of statues around town.
The tourist office was fantastic and gave us detailed walking tours that we could do ourselves. We were fortunate to hear a choir in the cathedral on the night we arrived and spent the first day wandering around the Upper Town with Malcolm climbing the tower for great views (for Malcolm a must at every town):
The next day we went to the Lower Town where the architecture was the most wonderful:
After a couple of days we headed towards Hungary but not until we stopped at Varazdin which used to be Croatia's capital from 1756 to 1776. It is known for its white, turreted Stari Grad (Old city) as well as its cemetery which is said to be one of the most beautiful in Europe.
