Discover Zagreb's Lower and Upper Town
Begin at Jelačić Square, in front of the Horseman statue. Zagreb is divided into three parts, and the square belongs to the newly built part of the city. This Lower Town includes the main square, Ban Jelačić, as well as shops, museums, and parks.
Visit the Upper Town and the Croatian Parliament building, home of the Croatian administration.
Explore the Stone Gate, the eastern gate to medieval Gradec Town, now a shrine. According to legend, a great fire in 1731 destroyed every part of the wooden gate except the Virgin and Child painting by an unknown 17th-century artist. On the Stone Gate's western facade, see a statue of Dora, the heroine of an 18th-century historical novel, who lived with her father next to the Stone Gate.
The tour ends with a return to the main square.
