Learn about the city's fascinating history and important landmarks during today's privately guided tour. Located in the southern foothills of Medvednica mountain, Zagreb developed from two smaller towns – Kaptol and Gradec. Originally separated by a river, the two towns were officially merged together into the city of Zagreb and the riverbed filled in, erasing the distinct line. The result is Zagreb's Upper Town, a labyrinth of 17th and 18th-century buildings lining narrow, winding streets. Explore the area's ancient treasures along with your knowledgeable guide and hear intriguing tales of the past.
