As the capital of Croatia, Zagreb comes as a surprise to many first-time visitors, who expect to find a grey, boring, ex-communist city. Instead, they find a lively, trendy city that is embracing modernisation and quickly reasserting itself as one of the cultural capitals of Europe. The city boasts a wonderful array of historic architecture, superb museums and galleries, great activities and a fabulous variety of performing arts. The nightlife is spectacular, the cuisine sumptuous and the annual events extremely entertaining.
