I'm sure about the first photo, it's famous "History of Croats" sculpture by Ivan Mestrovic. Not sure about other sculptures!

While Zagreb does have numerous eyesores, and isn't as beautiful as European capitals like Vienna, Prague or Paris, it doesn't deserve to be looked down at like this. People generally either praise cities shown in Urban Showcase, criticize the bad parts while praising the good parts or refrain from commeting. If there's something you don't like about Zagreb, please elaborate, don't spit on it,

Zagreb looks gorgeous in these pictures.

I love the night-time shots: the love of the city comes through - and there is a great feeling of warmth - like at christmas!

There is also something 'Italian' in some of the day - light images.

I've not been to Croatia - we were considering a trip to Dubrovnik last year - but ended up returning to Turkey. But it is certainly on the list - it looks fabulous.

Thank you, if you choose Dubrovnik and Croatian coastline, you won't regret it for sure!

Some Zagreb rooftops:

I think Zagreb looks pretty nice. You can probably argue that it is the best looking Balkan capital.

What did you do to this pic btw? The color looks quite interesting:

Khm... Zagreb is actually 100% Central European ( with the commie-blocks, of course )

Kampflamm · November 5th, 2011, 05:07 PM

Since Croatia is part of the Balkan peninsula I was just comparing it to the other capitals in the region though.

Thank you for these stunning photographs. You have caused me to fall in love with Zagreb. It appears to be a charming city. I wasn't in the mood for winter, but the snow pictures have caused me to be eager for winter.

Please post more pics of Zagreb. In every season, day or night.

Every city has its gritty parts and its glamourous parts. Zagreb has both which is great! A city would be boring without two sides of the coin. Lovely shots.

brch · November 6th, 2011, 10:02 PM

Thanks to all for comments!

@Kampflamm- I like to play with colors, it's lightroom preset called "Zurich street scene". PM me if you want it.

More photos will come, both from good and not so good sides!
