A culturally vibrant city with many stunning buildings and outdoor cafes and eateries filled with locals holding long discussions in the sunshine about whatever are the problems of the day.
Zagreb's most famous son, Nikola Tesla is proudly celebrated with civic monuments and the names of hotels and restaurants. However, as he was Serbian, his earthly remains are not here but in Belgrade in Serbia at the Nikola Tesla Museum. Most of the work he is famous for, including the invention of the AC induction motor and polyphase electric power, and demonstration of wireless power transfer, occurred in the US.
My only disappointment was the amount of doodle graffiti giving some parts of town a rundown feel. Some folks blame it on bored Croatian youth. Others on the Serbs. Personally, I blame the Serbs*.
