Zagreb Holidays Overview
A guide to holidays in Zagreb - The commercial capital of the idyllic Adriatic
coast close to Zagreb is the cultural city of Rijeka, which has an
international harbour that lends it a cosmopolitan flair. Rijeka is
not only the gateway to the beautiful coastal island resorts, but a
tourist's delight in itself with its charming historic buildings. A
stroll along the Korzo Promenade in the old part of town provides
an eyeful of classic buildings and a plethora of street cafes ideal
for resting your feet and enjoying the passing parade. Rijeka also
has an annual carnival full of joie de vivre, involving plenty of
ancient Slavic folklore and mythology. Revellers don masks to scare
away evil forces and a good time is had by all in numerous events,
concerts and the carnival parade.

What is it? Near the village of Scitarjevo, close to
Zagreb, are the remains of the ancient Roman town of Andautonia
which have been excavated and provide a fascinating tourist
attraction. Andautonia was a prominent administrative, economic,
cultural and religious centre about 400 years ago. Archaeologists
are still excavating the site, but visitors can view a 26,910
square foot (2,500 sq m) area of the Roman City including parts of
the main street, city baths, colonnades and side streets. Tourists
can also visit the present-day village of Scitarjevo, which offers
examples of typical rural farms with their characteristic wooden
houses.

2. Croatian History Museum
Mato?eva 9
www.hismus.hr/english/main.htm |
What is it? The building that houses Croatia's history is
itself a part of that history. Sited in the historical town centre,
it is the beautiful Baroque palace, Vojkovic-Orsic-Rauch, built at
the end of the 18th century and formerly the private residence of
three successive baronial families. In the late 1930s the palace
became the residence of Zagreb's mayors, before being designated as
a repository for the historical relics of the city. It currently
houses more than 140,000 artefacts in various collections, from
stone monuments to fine art, religious artefacts to heraldry. The
exhibitions are not permanent but constantly changing so that all
the collections get an airing.
Hours of Operation: Daily 10am to 5pm, Saturday and Sunday 10am to
1pm
Phone:(01) 4851 900 |
3. Croatian National Theatre
Trg Marsala Tita 15
|
What is it? The building housing the Croatian National
Theatre is as much a national treasure as the world-class dramatic,
opera, music and ballet productions that take place on its stage.
Construction began on the theatre building in 1894. Croatian
painter Vlaho Bukovac painted the ceremonial curtain while Viennese
artist Alexander Goltz decorated the ceiling of the auditorium. The
building was officially opened by Austro-Hungarian emperor
Franz-Joseph I at the end of 1895. The theatre is constantly busy
with full performing arts programmes.
