Croatian capital is full of life and energy: Best 5 sightseeing opportunities in Zagreb

Gornji Grad, or Upper Town, is a beautiful place to begin a tour of Zagreb because of its charming cobblestone alleyways and residences with red-tiled roofs.

St. Mark's Church, in Upper Town, is one of Zagreb's most famous landmarks since it is the centrepiece of the plaza of the same name. The famous church in Zagreb dates back to the 13^th Century and is famed for its colourfully tiled roof and regal-looking gothic gateway decorated with 15 statues in 11 niches.

Even though other important government buildings are located in St. Mark's Square, the church remains the focal point of the square's attention. It is because the church has a very beautiful and unusual roof.

Since the cathedral's twin towers are visible from many vantage points in Zagreb, it is rightfully regarded as one of the city's most recognisable landmarks. Built-in the early 1300s, the cathedral was seriously damaged by an earthquake in 1880 and had to be rebuilt in a neo-Gothic style.

The Lotrak Tower, located in Zagreb's Upper Town, is one of the city's most recognisable landmarks and was built in the 13th Century. Don't freak out if you hear cannons go off around lunchtime; it's only a local tradition.

Every day at noon, the Lotrak Tower's cannons fire to commemorate Zagreb's triumph against the Turks, a custom that dates back more than a century.

Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, is widely recognised as home to the largest concentration of museums in the world due to its high quality and unique exhibits. It goes without saying that the most well-known is the Museum of Broken Relationships. In case you hadn't guessed from the name, the Museum of Failed Relationships is an interesting place to visit that focuses on, you guessed it, breakups. The museum is located in the Upper Town neighbourhood of Zagreb, not far from the landmark Lotrak Tower, and its collection of artefacts seems to be a random assortment.

The exciting activities and experiences in Zagreb are a highlight for vacationers. It is awash in authentic European beauty and studded with interesting landmarks. You may start or finish your trip to the Balkans here, and either way, you'll get a good sense of Croatia and the surrounding area.

More attention should be paid to Zagreb. It's safe to say that you won't be let down.
