Zagreb's Upper Town (Gornji Grad) centers on Ban Jelačić Square, where the iconic Ban Jelačić statue stands amid cafés and shops. The Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary dominates the skyline with its twin spires, while nearby Kaptol and Gradec neighborhoods feature narrow medieval streets, galleries, and the Museum of Broken Relationships on Ćirilometodska Street. Lower Town (Donji Grad) stretches south with the Zrinjevac Park, the Croatian National Theatre, and the Strossmayer Gallery of Old Masters on Zrinjevac. The Maksimir Park offers green space with walking paths, a zoo, and views toward the Medvednica mountain. Tkalčićeva Street runs through the old town with vintage shops, wine bars, and local restaurants serving traditional Croatian cuisine like čobanac and strukli.
