If your routes in Kroatia are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.

At the rental office in Zagreb, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.

Sightseeing of Zagreb, Croatia

Zagreb: topics

In the city, many beautiful old churches were preserved. One of the most picturesque is the St. Mark’s Church. The miniature church of the 13th century has been one of the main symbols of the city for more than 700 years. The coat of arms of Zagreb has been laid out on its roof with the help of colored tiles. Within the walls of the church are hidden unique artistic treasures - beautiful frescos, created by famous European masters. The church is quite small, but the beauty of its design has no equal in the city.
An original symbol of the city is the old funicular; it connects the Lower and Upper City. This funicular which was opened in 1893, is the shortest and steepest in the world; its length is only 66 meters. The slope of the cabin during the ascent is 52 degrees, which is a true world record. Everyone who loves unusual activities can ride on this funicular. Its cabins are designed for 28 passengers.

An excellent place for a family excursion will be the Ethnographic Museum. It is located in a spectacular building of the early 19th century. Since its inception, this building has been used for various exhibitions and cultural events. Later, it was decided to convert it into a museum. Today its unique collection has about 80,000 exhibits, but only a small part - about 3,000 - is represented in the halls of the museum. The collection of the museum is very diverse. Its halls feature ancient national costumes, works of art, weapons, kitchen utensils and even luxury jewelry that used to belong to the wealthiest inhabitants of Croatia.
