Neighborhoods in Zagreb

Gornji Grad (Upper Town) is Zagreb's medieval core, a compact network of cobblestone streets, Baroque palaces, and intimate squares perched on a hill above the modern city. It's home to many of the city's most important historical and cultural sites.

Kaptol is the ecclesiastical quarter of Zagreb, centered on the Cathedral and its fortified enclosure. The neighborhood's quiet streets, seminary buildings, and small squares provide a contemplative contrast to the bustling Lower Town.

Tkalčićeva Street is Zagreb's liveliest pedestrian street, a curving stretch of colorful houses filled with cafés, bars, and restaurants. Running along the former Medveščak stream between Gornji Grad and Kaptol, it's the center of Zagreb's famed café culture.
