Zagreb is an old city that today is the capital of Croatia. You can see the center is divided to upper and lower town due to its altitude differences. The places however are connected via funicular train which is very nice and convenient. The town is also good spot for dining and night life. #happynewyear

Yesterday's street in Zagreb, strolling freely, Figure 12349 Zagreb Cathedral, changed styles, said to be the tallest building in Zagreb, remember to be 105 meters high. Figure 5 St.Mark church, the grid is very special. Figure 678 is the shutter that is pressed on the road, there are many detours, and the urban traffic is basically a tram.

St. Mark's Church is a medieval building located in the capital of Croatia, Zagreb, situated in the heart of the city at Markov trg (St. Mark's Square). It is one of the most famous sacred buildings in Zagreb, known for its distinctive two-tone coloration. St. Mark's Church was built in the 13th century and features characteristics of both Gothic and Renaissance styles. One of its notable features is the church's roof, adorned with colorful tiles in red, white, and blue. Visitors are captivated by the unique beauty of the three stone statues of St. Mark, St. Jerome, and St. Lucia at the entrance of the church. The interior is decorated in the Baroque style and houses a variety of artworks and ornaments.

✈ Self-driving tour around Croatia during the National Day, 11 days of itinerary, basically covered all the classic scenes. Sharing some dry goods (detailed content, divided into several issues). 👑Zagreb (Pictures 5-7) This time we took a circular route, landed in Zagreb by LOT Polish Airlines, and spent half a day visiting Stone Gate, market, two churches (not open for renovation) the next day. 🔺The most recommended attraction is Lotrščak Tower, where you can overlook the whole Zagreb. On one side of the tower is the shortest cable car in the world. 🔺Go to St. Mark's Church early in the morning, it's hard to take pictures when there are too many people later. It is recommended to book accommodation near Jelačić Square, where you can walk to all attractions. I booked Apartman Rudi, over 400 per night. 🔺It's cheap to take Uber in Zagreb. 👑Dubrovnik (Pictures 1-4, 12-14) Flew to Dubrovnik in the afternoon of the second day, also considered self-driving, not to mention tired, because we planned to stay in Dubrovnik for 3 nights, and the attractions in the city can be reached on foot. Save 3 days of car rental fee, the domestic ticket is only over 300. 🔺The most photogenic place here is the old town. If you love photography, it is recommended to book a hotel on the hill opposite the old town. I booked Apartments Villa Kosovic - ground floor, the view is excellent, you can overlook the sunrise and sunset of the old town from the balcony. The price is 400 per night, which is very cheap. 🔺As for taking pictures, the main street of the old town is crowded with tourists, but the small alleys on both sides are less crowded and good for shooting. In addition, it is necessary to go up the city wall at sunset, at least reserve 3 hours, otherwise they will rush people when they close. 🔺Another sunset viewing spot in Dubrovnik is on the mountain. Many people will take the cable car to the top of the mountain. But if you want to frame the old town and the sunset, you need a more southern perspective. I found a "wild view" (location in picture 13) through Google Maps, the view is better, and it only costs 15 euros to take a taxi up. 👑Korčula (Pictures 8-11) Three days in Dubrovnik, rent a car on the fourth day to Korčula. 🔺The car rental company chose SIXT, the pick-up and return process was very smooth. Please note that if you are going to several Balkan countries (such as Mostar), you need to pay a 50 euro exit fee. 🔺Drive to Orebi on Korčula Island, take a 15-minute ferry, 15 euros for both people and cars is very cheap. 🔺This small island is like a shield, beautiful when viewed from the air. It used to belong to Venice, so the architectural style also fully reflects the Italian style. There are day-trip tourists on the island, and it is comfortable to stroll in the morning and evening. 🔺Korčula has a real jelly sea, just under the city wall of the old town, where you can swim. The hotels on the island are also very cheap. I booked a four-star hotel (Marko Polo Hotel by Aminess) with a buffet dinner, over 700. 👑Split (Pictures 15-16) 🔺Drive from Korčula to Split in 2 hours, where there is the World Heritage Site Diocletian's Palace. It is recommended to play early in the morning and late at night. When the lights are on at night, the ruins are like the Palatine in Rome. The second day, climb the bell tower, visit the cathedral, feel mediocre, not cheap, not very worthwhile. 🔺Overall, there are many tourists in Split, the whole city is relatively noisy, if it is not for island hopping, one night is enough.

In the heart of Europe, where the past whispers through cobblestone streets and the present pulses with vibrant energy, I find myself in Zagreb, Croatia. It's a city where every corner tells a story, and every moment is a brushstroke on the canvas of life. As the sun bathes the city in a warm embrace, I wander through the historic Upper Town, its medieval charm juxtaposed against the modern rhythm of daily life. The iconic St. Mark's Church stands proudly, adorned with its captivating rooftop tiles, each one an emblem of Croatia's intricate history. Zagreb's parks, like Maksimir, offer solace amid nature's splendor, where tree branches become a delicate canopy over serene pathways. The tranquility here is a balm for the soul, a reminder of nature's timeless beauty. The streets come alive with the vivacious spirit of Tkalciceva, where cafes spill onto the sidewalks, and laughter dances through the air. The Dolac Market overflows with fresh produce, a kaleidoscope of colors and flavors that awaken the senses. Don't miss a visit to the mesmerizing Museum of Broken Relationships, where love stories live on in the artifacts of heartache and healing. It's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. My lens captures the Zagreb Cathedral, its spires reaching for the heavens, a symbol of faith and aspiration. The city's museums and galleries, like the Mimara Museum and the Modern Gallery, house treasures that inspire and provoke thought. As the day transitions into night, Ban Jelacic Square transforms into a stage for street performers, and the city's culinary scene beckons with savory delights. Zagreb's vibrant nightlife pulses to the rhythm of live music and laughter. Zagreb, a city where time stands still and races forward, where history is etched in every stone, and where every moment is a snapshot of a journey filled with wonder. Capturing these moments is not just a passion; it's a privilege.
