Friday evening
STROLL UPPER TOWN 1
As the oldest part of Zagreb, the Upper Town (Gornji Grad), has landmark buildings and churches from the earlier centuries of Zagreb’s history. Head to Kaptol Square for a look at the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose twin spires soar over the city, and make sure you take a peek at the Stone Gate, the eastern entrance to medieval Gradec Town, now a shrine.
BAR CRAWLING ALONG TKALČIĆEVA 2
For cocktails and chic bars head to this Upper Town street (formally known as Ulica Ivana Tkalčića). Highlights include Cica at number 18, a tiny bar with cutting edge work by local artists plus 25 kinds of rakija (fruit brandy). Over at number 52, head down the spiral staircase at Funk to a small basement with stone vaulted ceilings, DJs spinning house, jazz, funk and electronic music.
