Zagreb is the capital of Croatia and is now giving Budapest and Prague a run for their money in the popularity stakes. It has more museums per square foot than anywhere else in the world and is divided into three parts. The first part is Upper Town (Gornji grad) which is a thousand years old and its cobbled streets are lit by gas-lamps. Here you will find the Presidential Palace, the historic church of St. Mark's, the Croatian parliament and many museums and galleries. The second part is the 19th century Lower Town (Donji grad), where you will find shops, restaurants, cafés, theatres and parks. Finally, the third part is New Zagreb (Novi Zagreb) which is the modern post world war II section and is full of high-rise buildings and very much off the tourist track.
Zagreb is alive at night with a buzzing atmosphere amongst its cafés and restaurants offering delicious Croatian dishes and plenty of entertainment.

First experience with A&K. Intended to ask various travel companies for quotes but Vicky (Agnew) was so good with her suggestions that we did not seek alternative quotations the suggested itinerary was excellent and helped us decide on a balanced and interesting holiday.
