Zagreb city centre is by far the most popular location for hotels in the city. Only steps away from the magical Old Town and an abundance of museums, it hosts a diverse array of hotels from glittering 4-star and 5-star establishments to spacious apartments and charming boutique hotels. This is an excellent area for all travellers, whether you're with your partner taking moonlit strolls in Old Town or with your family checking out every medieval church and building you can find. Backpackers will find excellent hostels here, too, with clean beds, in-house bars, free WiFi and airport shuttles.Things to see
The 11th-century Cathedral and Archbishop's Palace complex is a magnificent site with towering spires that reach to the heavens. The Mirogoj Cemetery stuns with its exquisitely beautiful vine-covered arcades, domes, pavilions and landscaped gardens. The Dolac Market is a daily open-air farmers' market famous for its cheery red beach umbrellas and glorious selection of fresh flowers, handmade wooden toys and mountains of locally grown seasonal fruits and vegetables. With more museums packed in per square metre than any other city in the world, a tour of museums is essential on any trip to Zagreb. Check out the Museum of Broken Relationships, set in a baroque palace; the Museum of Illusions, filled with holograms and optical illusions; or the Mimara, a vast neoclassical building filled with old masters and archaeological artefacts, all donated by one man. Maksimir Park is an escape from the city, with serene paths curving around lawns, glistening lakes and woodland.How to get to Zagreb
