City of Zagreb
Zagreb is the capital city of the Republic
of Croatia, an old Central European
City with 900 years of documented history.
It is known in the world for its culture,
significant commercial and sporting
events, its preserved historical heritage
and the exceptional charm and hospitality
residents.
For centuries it has been a focal point
of culture and science, and now is a
centre of commerce and industry as well.
It lies on the intersection of important
routes between the Adriatic coast and
Central Europe.
When the Croatian people achieved their
independence in 1991, Zagreb became
a capital - a political and administrative
centre for the Republic of Croatia.
Zagreb is also the hub of the business,
academic, cultural, artistic and sporting
worlds in Croatia. Many famed scientists,
artists and athletes come from the city,
or work in it. Zagreb can offer its
visitors the Baroque atmosphere of the
Upper Town, picturesque open-air markets,
diverse shopping facili¬ties, an abundant
selection of crafts and a choice vernacular
cuisine. Zagreb is a city of green parks
and walks, with many places to visit
in the beautiful surroundings. The city
will enter into the third millennium
with a population of one million. In
spite of the rapid development of the
economy and transportation, it has retained
its charm, and a relaxed feeling that
makes it a genuinely human city.
