Visiting a less well-known city meant I arrived with no expectations.

Some of the city\u2019s most emblematic buildings include the iconic, colourful roof of St Mark\u2019s Church and the twin spires of Zagreb Cathedral which tower above the Croatian capital.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22747\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22747\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22747\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/View-from-360-tower-cathedral-e1508036593535.jpg\" alt=\"Zagreb guide Croatia\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22747\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View from Zagreb 360\u00b0 tower<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In contrast to old-world cobbled streets of the old town lined with ornate, centuries-old buildings, Novi Zagreb is home to starkly brutal and modernist communist architecture and concrete structures built under the Yugoslavia era. I loved checking out Zagreb\u2019s cityscape from the Zagreb 360 tower and Lotr\u0161\u010dak Tower.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/adventures\/europe-islands-discover\/\" data-wpil=\"url\"><strong>ZAGREB IS ONE OF OUR TOP 7 UNDERRATED CITIES IN EUROPE; SEE THE REST<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><b> Croatian coffee culture<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caffeine addicts will be in their element in the Croatian capital. One of the first things I noticed when wandering around downtown Zagreb was the endless row of caf\u00e9 terraces filled with people sipping coffee. With an electric mix of Italian, Turkish and Austro-Hungarian influences, coffee culture here is steeped in history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While many enjoy sitting and watching the world go by, in Croatia coffee is all about socialising. Whether its catching up with friends or doing business, the social role of coffee is crucial. And unlike in many bustling cities, coffee is not just a quick pick-me-up but an event, only to be drunk at a caf\u00e9 table and never to take away. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the best beans, try Cogito Coffee, U Dvori\u0161tu or Eli&#8217;s Caff\u00e8.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/croatia\" data-wpil=\"url\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18452\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Croatia-banner.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><b style=\"font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: 0px;\">Nearby natural retreats<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those who love the outdoors, Zagreb has far more to offer than your average European city. Mount Medvednica perching over the Croatian capital offers a natural escape for locals who come to admire beautiful views over Zagreb.
