The city of Zagreb, capital of Croatia, on the historic and\npolitical threshold between East and West, illustrates both the continental and\nMediterranean spirit of the nation it spearheads. Zagreb is the cultural,\nscientific, economic, political and administrative centre of the Republic of\nCroatia, and is home to the Croatian Parliament, Government and President. Its\nfavourable location between the Pannonian plain, the edge of the Alps and the\nDinaric range has allowed it to become a crossing point for mass international\ncommunication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city is protected from the cold northern winds by the mountain of Medvednica and opens up to the rest of the world thanks to a spacious plain and the Sava river. Zagreb, with a population of nearly one million, contains almost a quarter of the entire population of Croatia. Over the centuries, the city was inhabited by people coming from all over Europe; and, in recent years, by people coming from different parts of Croatia, ensuring a rich cultural life. Zagreb is a safe city whose doors are always open; a city with a tumultuous history teeming with interesting personalities; a city that warmly invites all those who wish to get to know it, and a city that will surely fulfill your expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this city, you can\neasily meet remarkable people, make new friends and enjoy special moments. The\nfa\u00e7ades of Zagreb\u2019s buildings reflect the ebb and flow of history, while its\nstreets and squares bear witness to the coming together of the many cultures\nthat have shaped the identity of this laid-back capital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
