The upper town is the older part of Zagreb. Many of the most significant landmarks of the city are located in this area and it’s full of charm. Some of these landmarks include the Dolac market, St Mark Church, the Cathedral and of course the museums. It’s a bit touristy, but worth visiting if you want to soak up the culture.

Probably my favorite part of Zagreb. Lots of winding streets and beautiful old buildings. The Museum of Broken Relationships is here. I took the funicular up for the ride. Unfortunately the Cathedral was closed for restoration when I was there, but still enjoyed strolling around for an hour or two.

This isn't really one thing to do so much as a neighborhood to spend time in, but it has a lot of things to do! We spent time here both walking and on a bicycling tour of the city, and enjoyed seeing lots of landmarks (especially the Cathedral and St. Mark's church), museums (especially Broken Relationships) and beautiful views out over the city. This is definitely a part of the city that you'll find yourself spending time in if you visit Zagreb.

This is a lovely area that has lots of things to see. It is one of the 17 districts of Zagreb. It has lots of amazing buildings to see and you can find yourself wandering around just being amazed at every turn by the scenery. We really enjoyed our time here. You only need a day and a half to see both the upper town and lower town. Plan your visit to make the most of your time.

My favourite area to visit during my stay in Zagreb, upper town is the historical part of the city and certainly where you find most of the tourists. With restaurants, cafes, shops, narrow laneways and historical buildings the atmosphere is much better than lower town area. And obviously the views looking down on the city are spectacular.

I was torn on how many stars to give this review since the Cathedral and some of the churches were still closed due to the 2020 earthquake. Work is being done on all, however in talking with some of the locals, no expected completion date has been established. The entire area is very nice to walk around. The park is large with beautiful flowers and fountains. Lots of seating there. There are several shops and restaurants in the area. When we were there on a Saturday, we visited the market. It was very nice with produce in one area, meat in another, and so on. When we returned later that night the market was gone and there were no signs it was ever there. The whole area was clean and spotless. Make your way to Gornji Grad to see the shrine. We also stopped at Park Kralja Tomislava on the way back to the hotel. They were setting up for a musical performance when we arrived. I would recommend coming to Zagreb. You can see everything in a full day without rushing. I look forward to returning to the area in the future to view the Cathedral and St. Mark’s Church on the inside.
