The medieval Upper Town (Gornji Grad) of Croatia's capital, with St Mark's Church and its colourful tiled roof showing the coats of arms of Croatia and Zagreb. The quirky Museum of Broken Relationships displays objects left over from love affairs. At noon a cannon is fired from the Lotrščak Tower.


Ride the short funicular up from Ilica street, then walk the Strossmayer promenade. In the Lower Town, the Dolac Market is lively in the mornings. Zagreb's Advent market is one of Europe's best.
