About
The bustling capital city of Zagreb is divided between what locals refer to as the Upper and Lower Towns. Gornji grad is the Upper Town, and Donji Grad is the Lower Town. The Upper Town is the most historic section of Zagreb and was developed as two separate towns - Kaptol, the seat of the Bishop and Gradec, the free town where tradesmen and artisans merged in the 1770s to form the northern section of historic Zagreb. You will not find many Zagreb gay bars in the old Upper Town, but the Lower Town is a different story. The Lower Town is where you will find the cultural, religious and commercial hub of Zagreb. This is where most of the restaurants, Zagreb gay bars and tourist sites are located.
The history buff will certainly appreciate all that Zagreb has to offer, whether you are in the Upper or Lower Town. Museums are in abundance here where the well preserved stories of Zagreb days gone by can be found. The Muzej Mimara Museum houses some 3,700 works of art donated by Ante Topi? Mimara. The collection comprises more than 1,500 exhibits dating from the prehistoric period up to the 20th century. Some of the most famous exhibits include works by Lorenzetti, Raffaello, Giorgione, Veronese, Caravaggio, Canaletto, 60 paintings by the Dutch masters Rembrandt just to name a few. After you have explored the mystical galleries of the Muzej Mimara, be sure to unwind with a cocktail or two in any of the Zagreb gay bars.
But if you are just up for a relaxing stay, you can also hire a walking tour to take you through either or both the Upper and Lower Towns. Walking tours are available from information centers located throughout the city, and don’t last more than a couple of hours. Take in all the sites from someone that knows the city first hand. After you have walked till you dropped, stop into the Zagreb gay bars and relax your night away.
The capital city of Zagreb has much to offer any visitor and many Zagreb gay bars to choose from. While you are here, be sure to use our online directory of Zagreb gay bars!
