Accepted Answer

If your trip to Zagreb is all organized but your itinerary is a bit on the empty side, we can give you a helping hand.

You'll need to rise with the sun if you're planning to check out all the fascinating sights this place has to offer. Archaeological Museum and Ban Jelacic Square are non-negotiable. Dolac and Zagreb Cathedral shouldn't be missed either.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Zagreb?

Accepted Answer

The beauty of having your own wheels is that you can travel where you want, when you want. Make full use of your freedom by experiencing all that there is to do in Karlovac. It's just 30 miles away. Museum of Croatian War of Independence, Katzler Pavilion and Holy Trinity Church and Franciscan Monastery alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Situated 40 miles away, Varazdin is another place to aim for. If you stop by, be sure to check out Town Hall, Croatian National Theatre and Patacic-Puttar Palace.

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Zagreb?

Accepted Answer

Zagreb knows how to dazzle. You could vacation for a good while in this place and hardly scratch the surface. If you want to experience as much as you can in this energetic metropolis, you'll need a rental car. Bear in mind that driving around the city usually comes with tight streets and even tighter parking spots. But don't worry — an economy or a compact car will make this a lot easier to manage. If you're aiming to venture out of the city and discover some of the rocky coastlines that Zagreb is known for, you'll probably prefer a vehicle with a bit more power. A full-size or mid-size SUV is a good choice.
