Best months: April, May, June, September, October and December.

What to see in Zagreb

1. Ville haute (Gornji Grad) & Église Saint-Marc
   In the Upper Town, cobbled lanes and low façades of the old Gradec lead to St.
2. Cathédrale de Zagreb
   With two neo-Gothic spires rising above the skyline, it is Zagreb's most recognisable church and the anchor of the Kaptol district.
3. Marché Dolac
   Dolac is the central farmers' market of Zagreb, set on a terrace just above Ban Jelačić Square.
4. Musée des Cœurs brisés
   This museum gathers everyday objects donated by strangers from around the world, each paired with the story of a breakup.
5. Parc Maksimir
   Maksimir is a big green lung on the eastern side of Zagreb, where a few minutes take you from the city to a mix of woodland, meadows and lakes.
6. Rue Tkalčićeva
   This gently sloping pedestrian street follows the course of a former stream, the Medveščak, which now runs beneath the paving.
7. Lacs de Plitvice (excursion)
   Sixteen terraced lakes linked by waterfalls and travertine barriers, set in dense forest where the water shifts from turquoise to deep green with the light.
8. Vinodol
   Vinodol has been serving traditional Croatian cooking with a lightly modern touch in central Zagreb for decades.
