2 ABOUT ZAGREB O ZAGREBU Zagreb city with milion hearts The city of Zagreb, capital of Croatia, on the historic and political threshold between East and West, illustrates both the continental and Mediterranean spirit of the nation it spearheads. Zagreb is the cultural, scientific, economic, political and administrative centre of the Republic of Croatia, and is home to the Croatian Parliament, Government and President. Zagreb, with a population of nearly one million, contains almost a quarter of the entire population of Croatia. Over the centuries, the city was inhabited by people coming from all over Europe; and, in recent years, by people coming from different parts of Croatia, ensuring a rich cultural life. Zagreb is a safe city whose doors are always open; a city with a tumultuous history teeming with interesting personalities; a city that warmly invites all those who wish to get to know it, and a city that will surely fulfill your expectations. In this city, you can easily meet remarkable people, make new friends and enjoy special moments. The façades of Zagreb s buildings reflect the ebb and flow of history, while its streets and squares bear witness to the coming together of the many cultures that have shaped the identity of this laid-back capital. Zagreb grad milijun srca Grad Zagreb, smješten na zemljopisnom, kulturnom, povijesnom i političkom sjecištu istoka i zapada Europe, glavni grad Hrvatske, spaja kontinentalni i mediteranski duh u osebujnu cjelinu. Zagreb je kulturno, znanstveno, gospodarsko, političko i administrativno središte Republike Hrvatske sa sjedištem Sabora, Predsjednika i Vlade. U Zagrebu živi četvrtina ukupnog stanovništva Hrvatske, što je u brojkama gotovo milijun. Građani su stoljećima stizali iz različitih krajeva Europe, a u novijoj povijesti iz svih krajeva Hrvatske te su svojim doprinosom obogatili kulturu grada. Zagreb je siguran velegrad otvorenih vrata, burne povijesti i zanimljivih ličnosti, koji srdačno poziva na upoznavanje i ispunjava očekivanja. U ovom se gradu lako sklapaju zanimljiva poznanstva, nova prijateljstva i proživljavaju nezaboravne dogodovštine. Povijesne se sekvence čitaju kao slikovnica na sačuvanim fasadama, a ulice i trgovi odišu suživotom različitih mentaliteta koji stvaraju prepoznatljiv zagrebački identitet opuštenog velegrada.

8 CUSTOMER REVIEWS Best tour in Zagreb This was the best tour we saw in Zagreb. Our driver was an enthusiastic young university student who spoke flawless English and gave us a great tour that lasted over an hour and covered the old upper town and the lower city. He highlighted all of the important sites and was a wealth of historical knowledge. Cruising around in the backseat of an electric replica of a Ford Model T was pretty cool too... Going back in time The Old Zagreb Tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Croatia...We toured the upper and lower town with Tomislav who was our guide as well as driver. He spoke excellent English and answered all our questions with humor and a great knowledge of historical events. Because the car is electric, it was very quiet and didn't disturb the impressive closeness with the old town.
