In my book, traveling is all about discovering. And truth be told it feels like all these feelings get lost in the hustle of the top tourist spots. Bathed in the ever-sparkling blue waters, wearing the most enchanting pearls of the Dalmatian coast, with some of the most spectacular wildlife and parks, Croatia is a gem.
The first gem will be shining its golden lights from right in front of the Zagreb Cathedral. The Monument, dedicated to the Holy Mary depicts her on a tall pedestal majestic and impressive, surrounded by four angels. And if you love how the sun plays and reflects its light on the golden monument, you should also get there to see how beautiful it stands at night. Since the entire country is a tale of natural beauties and scenery, here is one right in the city: Jarun Lake.
Bike trails, water sports, swimming or simply sunbathing, all make this place the entertainment center of the city. And did you see that blue color? Just enchanting? Zagreb has a rich and impressive history and a long one for that matter.
And a small part of that history is about defense and the fortified tower of Lotrscak, which has been around since the 13th century. Its main task was to guard the southern city gate and later on, it also received a canon that used to shoot precisely at noon to this day.
Today the Lotrscak Tower has a gift and souvenir shop, and an exhibition space but it also is the place that gives you some of the best all-around sights of the city from its top.
