OMG! Soooo beautiful! I totally love these pix, Old World arch and stuff! I've spent some time there during my days of Euro travels years ago; architecturally, there's no difference between Zagreb and Vienna, (as far as the Old Towns, of course; naturally, since historically, Croatia was part of Austrian Empire, the influence was/is inevitable). And it looks so well maintained, which is fantastic - it would be a shame to let the teeth of time eat the history out...
Aww thanks so much for your wonderful comment! I'm so glad you like these photos 😊 Yes, the strict center is especially well maintained, as it is the heart of Zagreb. You're right, the historical part of the town was built under a significant Viennese/Austrian elegant, classic architectural influence.
This central part of the city, including the old Upper Town, is the most popular tourist attraction area, which makes Zagreb one of the most visited places in Croatia...
