The Zagreb Self-Guided City Walk will guide you through the capital of Croatia. The city has a 1,000-year history, making it one of the oldest cities in Europe.
The city lies between the mountain of Medvednica and the river Sava and has two distinct areas.
The Upper Town situated on the two hills Kaptol and Gradec have the twin-spired Zagreb Cathedral and 13th-century St. Mark’s Church; while the Lower Town has the main square, Ban Jelačić, plus shops, museums and parks.
Zagreb is a lovely town to wander with atmospheric streets that come alive at night.
Walk Distance 2.1 km / 1.3 miles mostly flat with a little rise up to the Cathedral and again up to St Mark’s Church, but quite easy.
