Visit Zagreb, Croatia

WHY ZAGREB
The Croatian capital may not have the polish of cities such as Vienna and Budapest, but neither does it have the coach loads of tourists. It has an authentic feel, with trams rumbling across the cobbled streets. £1 gets you 8.42 kunas.

EXPLORE ZAGREB
Hop on the funicular up to the Lotrscak Tower, a 13th-century look-out that offers fabulous views (entrance £1.5). For a taste of local life try the goulash (£5) at Gostionica Tip-Top
(Gunduliceva 18), a much-loved restaurant that was once the haunt of Croatia’s most famous poet, Tin Ujevic.

SHOPPING IN ZAGREB
There’s no better place to shop in Zagreb than in the markets. The flower market on Preradovicev trg is stunning, while the main produce market, Dolac, bustles with locals buying fruit, vegetables and cheese. Hop on the bus to Hreljic, the city’s flea market, which pulls in the crowds every Sunday.

STAY IN ZAGREB
Arcotel Allegra is sleek and affordable with doubles from £75.

GETTING THERE
Wizzair flies from Luton to Zagreb from £70 rtn.

Zagreb, in Croatia.
