Walking is one of the best ways to explore all of Zagreb's picturesque historical sites, hidden alleys & lanes and especially the main square of the city. You can learn a lot about Zagreb on a walking tour as you discover the main sights and attractions at your own pace.
The center of Zagreb is divided into two parts: Gornji Grad (Upper Town) and Donji Grad (Lower Town). Because of its historical structures, churches and religious monuments, Gornji Grad has great historic value attached to it and is literally a tourist's paradise. Donji Grad on the otherhand mostly contains shops, cafes, museums and parks.
There is a lot to see in Zagreb. Zagreb is home to over 30 museums and galleries, several religious and historic buildings and monuments, and a plethora of green spaces and squares. In fact, in Donji Grad 7 squares make up the o-called Green horseshoe or Lenuzzi's horseshoe. Here are a few of the top attractions in Zagreb:
