One Day In Zagreb

On the bushwalk, I tried to stay overnight in Zagreb, Croatian capital, a country along the Mediterranean coast famous for its long-standing culture because I have long missed this place.

Zagreb is not only the capital of Croatia, but also the only major city in Croatia with a population of more than 1 million. But what I like is that there are great prices for budget motels in the suburbs with fresh air, full amenities and very peaceful at night. The town on the hill is lit with gas lights

. Zagreb has the advantage of being a junction connecting Central European countries such as Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary and the Adriatic Sea, so the number of visitors to Zagreb is increasing. From the capital, they will follow trams to other ancient cities like Dubrovnik, Porec or take a boat to Mljet and Korcula islands . .



The scene is like an old musical drama, when the sky begins to turn. Light purple, the light poles along the street are lit with lighters in hand, which is said to take up to two hours to light all the lights. I was walking in the light while my ears could hear the gas screeching. The hotel where I was staying was on a hill above town. If you want to go down the city center, you have to go by mountain rail, a kind of serrated railway like in old Da Lat that has existed for a long time in Croatia and still works very well. Zippered pulley, then steam engine, and now electric system. I took the train down the mountain and stopped in a busy old town, filled with snacks and coffee shops In winter, the golden sunshine is still shining on the golden lime walls full of Greek carvings Zagreb - the old town with gas lamps - Photo: Phong Nguyen Le A corner of Zagreb from above - Photo: Phong Nguyen LeZagreb night - Photo: Phong Nguyen Le The ancient mountain-climbing railway is one of the oldest zippered railways still in operation in the world that started in 1893 in Zagreb - Photo: Phong Nguyen Le2.



After breakfast, I opened the map when I went to Gornji Grad, downtown Zagreb. In the 1770s, Zagreb was merged from two separate towns: Kaptol and Gradec. If Kaptol is seen as the headquarters of the missionaries with monasteries and churches, then Gradec is the place where small merchants and craftsmen meet and trade, the most attractive of Gornji Grad is the square surrounding the church. St. Mark also calls the parish church of Old Zagreb. A rare English-speaking local tells me this is "the Church of Trg Svetog Marka with a funny roof". The name of the church in English is St Mark Zagreb.The church is not huge, even very painted with white lime walls and the familiar old door frames but still exudes a charming beauty by architecture and tiled roof.



In the middle of Zagreb's main square is the Zagreb Main Church, also known as the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, built in the 13th century. A popular destination that also attracts bushwalkers is the fruit and vegetable market because Croatia is famous for its green landscape, full of olives and orchards. , fields of flowers and vegetables… In winter, the market is full of fresh fruit, although it is only a small market, most of which sell agricultural gifts to visitors and tourists. Time to go around the market, take photos and try some of the typical fresh fruits in this area.

I regret that there is only one day, because Zagreb is also known as the city of museums, is the capital of many works bearing medieval cultural imprint with typical regional architecture. I can only see more of the square, where the first statue of the Croatian king, King Tomislav 1, and the Square "Lower Town", a square of urban streets, is located. trams, bicycles, pedestrians and also the shopping area, the intersection of bus trips.



Goodbye Croatia, goodbye Zagreb. Though I still crave to hear about the Museum of Broken Relationships, which showcases mementos of lovers who can't get together with famous old handwritten letters. Goodbye Croatia, goodbye Zagreb . I got on a train going to Athens, Greece. And it was great that at the station, I met a vending cabinet with books inside, books that will accompany me on every trip.
