Our hotel, the Dubrovnik, sticks out like a sore thumb on the Zagreb skyline. It is in the heart of the city centre, so well located to see Zagreb easily on a walking tour.
The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary 
View of the main square, Ban Jelacic Square 
The fruit, cream and chocolate creation that I should not have had for afternoon tea... 
The Zagreb Funicular is the shortest passenger cable railway in the world. 
View from Gradec towards Kaptol, the cathedral, Dolac Market and St Mary's 
St Mark's Square. The beautiful colours of the roof of the church are simply stunning. To the left of the church you can just see the building which is the seat of government, where the Prime Minister's office is located. 
A crazy cafe on the 'hip' street, Tkalciceva. Why would you want to have your coffee off a washing machine?? Maybe to remind you of what you should be doing instead of drinking coffee? 
A lovely statue at the entrance to the Market Square, Dolac
View across the Market Square towards the Cathedral
Part of the Renaissance walls around the Cathedral
Why did the Franciscan monks cross the road? Maybe they were trying to re-create the Abbey Road album cover?Today while Gavin and his colleagues were languishing in their conference, I took a stroll around the 'Upper Town' part of Zagreb. It is sooo beautiful. Another one to recommend to you all.
