Medieval, austere and drenched in history, Zagreb’s Gornji Grad, Upper Town District, is a site that does not go unnoticed. Filled with lovely artisanal shops and popular cafes, Gornji Grad also sees the presence of the city's Cathedral, St. Mark's Church and the Croatian Parliament, buildings that attract many travelers every year.
The peaceful and yet, historically loud, Upper Town District is something you do not want to miss. You will see how modern life is run daily while being seduced by beautifully well-kept buildings that are a true testimony of posterity through generations. You will breathe air that will take you back in time, in a historical era where “simple living” was not to be contaminated with scary, new ways of life. The Upper Town, the oldest part of Zagreb, is a cobblestone street with various cafes, restaurants, and bars. This is the place where the old tradition of manually lighting 214 gas lanterns is followed. Wear a comfortable pair of shoes and explore the Upper Town on foot to see many more attractions such as Strossmayer promenade, Dolac Market, Tkalčićeva street, Museum of Broken Relationships, Lotrščak Tower and many more.
It is 9.5 km away from the city center
The most fun way is to take a ride on the ZagrebFunicular, a cobalt-blue cog railway that whisks travelers up the hill from Lower Town (Donji Grad) in just over a minute. You can also take a bus, tram, or taxi or walk to Upper Town from lower Zagreb.
