Nevertheless, we will try to use the unsuspected power of words, and can make yourself comfortable.
At first glance, Croatia's autobiography will not impress you, but if you look at the small print, you will find yourself confused in your judgment. The Balkan Country is a remarkable open-air museum, a library for nature lovers and architectural inventions, an inexhaustible inspiration for adventurers and artists. Croatia's high post in human dreams also helped her role of a corridor of culture in the heart of ssoutheast Europe. If you are looking for exciting adventures, head north, you will become a protagonist of the Lake Bled fairy tale in Slovenia, or you will be amazed of the exquisite building of the Hungarian Parliament in Budapest.

To the southwest, the country gives you an attractive view and a chance to plunge into the Adriatic kingdom.

The city is divided into two parts - the Upper Town and the Lower Town, which compete mercilessly for their cultural sites. The lens of your curiosity should focus on the church "St. Mark ", the Zagreb cathedral on Kaptol Hill, the Lotterschak Tower, and the Stone Gate.

You might have the courage to step on the stage of the Croatian National Theater or share your love disappointments in the Heartburn Museum.
Be sure that Zagreb is not the only place on the treasure map in Croatia. Your walk along the Adriatic coast will take you imperceptibly to the city of Split and the Roman Empire. The paintings of the past come to life through the atmosphere of the Diocletian palace - one of the architectural wonders in the Balkan country. If you still need a pinch of attraction, you can conquer the Marian peninsula, which gives its guests amazing panoramic views and a chance of spiritual growth in some of the Middle Ages chapels.
