    The structure is impressive but belltowers are fully covered with scaffolds and the cathedral is closed for renovation so tourists are not allowed inside.

    Croatian National Theatre is a great imposing building in the middle of a large square. The architectural style of Zagreb's old town is the Imperial Austro-Hungarian style and the town reminds Vienna very much of course. The theater fits the environment perfectly. We haven't been inside though. Some 200 feet in front of the front of the building there's an interesting statue/fountain by Ivan Mestrovic.

    The station building is in need of some attention and renovation to return it to its former glory. If you do like railways then you’ll certainly be able to spot commuter, express and freight trains here.

    This Baroque palace is the parliament of Croatia. It stands amongst a host of government buildings in St. Mark's Square and looks innocuous if it wasn’t for the Baroque facade. Another reviewer mentioned tours, but I could not find anything on the parliament website.

    This building belongs to the Academy of Music, part of the University of Zagreb. It is the oldest and most prestigious music school in Zagreb, tracing its origins back to 1829 when the Zagreb Musical Society's school was established. The building is an interesting glass block of modern architecture and almost innocuous but for the roof which gives the impression of the aurora lights in the background. Looks amazing in a photo.

    The house was built by an architect from Zagreb, Vjekoslav Bastl. Its façade is lined with yellow - blue ceramic tiles.
    It was the home of Joseph Kallina, owner and director of the pottery factory.
    It is located at the corner of Masarykova and Gundulić Street in the wider center area in Zagreb.

    I love the architectural beauty of places & Croatia has them in abundance.
    Zagreb has the Grand style European buildings which are magnificent, but are they worth going inside.
    A local guide can provide that perspective because it all comes down to time available.
    We wandered on foot around the GREEN HORSESHOE & would have appreciated a guiding hand. Apart from photo opportunities we obviously left with only a superficial view & wondering about the buildings' history & role.

    Hope this viewpoint helps you create a tour that is unique.

    Prišlin's tower: Kaptol defense tower from the beginning of the 16th century. Prišlin's Tower, the former northwestern defensive tower of Kaptola, was built at the beginning of the 16th century. It is located in a small park at the end of Opatovina. The tower and the adjacent medieval wall are part of a defensive structure that was built when the Ottoman threat was at its height.

    Walking around the wonderful Upper Town of the city I loved looking at the wonderful buildings to be found ,one that caught my eye was Zagreb Old Town Hall.
    Old Town Hall ( Stara Gradska Vijecnica ) is actually three buildings that looks superb ,joined up in the 19th century this is a very photogenic building and a bit if a tourist attraction as it has a monument in honour of Nikola Tesla on the facade ,well worth checking out if you're in the area and easy to locate along Ciriometodska Ulica.

    It is said that the Kaptol Walls and the Fortress were built to resist Ottoman attacks and turned Zagreb into an impregnable bastion. In Kaptol Street stands the north-eastern tower, which dates back to the 15th century, while the north-western tower, called Prišlin Tower, is a construction from the end of the 17th century. The houses mostly date back to the 18th century: the most beautiful is from 1710; the oldest, from 1498, is the Lektorova kurija.

    I loved the architecture in Zagreb and especially up in the Upper Town ,one building that caught my eye was Dverce Palace.
    A wonderful and old former aristocrat town house now used I believe for civic functions , a wonderful exterior ,never ventured inside ,don't think I could but I was content to take some photos before moving on ,it's easy to locate along Katarinin Trg and well worth checking out if you're in the area.

    First time in Croatia ,first time in Zagreb and I must say I was blown away by the architecture ,walking around the city threw up so many great looking structures ,one that caught my eye was 18 Trg Kralja Tomislava Building .
    I loved the look of this building ,it's clearly influenced by the architecture of the once mighty Austro-Hungarian Empire ,the facade is really pleasing on the eye ,great stonework ,atop the building is a superb winged statue that adds a touch of class to the building ,it's such a photogenic piece of architecture and most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area and easy to locate along Trg Kralja Tomislava.
