Being the capital of and largest city in Croatia, many tourists visit for the purpose of enjoying the culture and history of this city on the banks of the Sava River. Whatever your reason for visiting the capital, there are many serviced apartments in Zagreb to choose from, making a nice break from a boring hotel.

Zagreb certainly doesn't have the big-city feel of London or Paris, but with a population of over 1 million people in the area, is certainly has enough of a big-city feel for those who enjoy city living. The capital is also the country's major transport hub, and also the most important location for industrial, research and science industry. It is for this reason that many businessmen and science types choose to stay in a Zagreb city centre (center) apartment.

Despite not having the beaches of Split and Dubrovnik for example, from the tourist point of view, there is plenty to see and do here. First on many people's lists is Gradec, a part of Zagreb which is the city's heart as far as its history and architecture is concerned. Zagreb holiday apartments in this area are few, but many others in the city will not be far away.

If you are reading up on Croatian history during your downtime in your Zagreb serviced flat, you may be surprised at what you find out. Many people are still unaware that the simple necktie or cravat is a national symbol for Croats. Indeed, the cravat actually originated in Croatia and is named after the country. This is why many tourists choose to buy a Croatian-made tie as a souvenir or gift after visiting the country.

Zagreb is also well-known for its international cuisine. Restaurants in the city are known for combining elements of many different styles to create an interesting blend. On a local note, kremšnite (custard slices in flaky pastry), mlinci (a kind of pasta), sir i vrhnje (cottage cheese with cream), orehnjača (traditional walnut roll) and štrukli (cottage cheese strudel) are all favourite and should be tried. You can even take some back to your Zagreb serviced accommodation, if you like.

Whatever your reason for visiting Zagreb, the city is an interesting boiling pot of native Croatian culture and international influence. Still only 20 years since independence, the nation is becoming more and more popular with tourists looking to try somewhere new, and it is for this reason Zagreb serviced holiday rentals are becoming more and more popular.
