Zagreb, Croatia
Croatia is still a lesser-known tourist destination for those traveling from North America, but Zagreb, the capital city, is well worth a summer visit. Stroll the streets visiting galleries and museums, or sit and sip a coffee at one of the many cafes. For a unique 360° view of the city, try climbing Lotrščak Tower, built in the 13th Century to protect the southern city gate. Jarun Lake, in the southwest is also a popular summer spot for swimming and sailing, and the lake is lined with little shops and cafes, bars and discos. Croatia is a country worth visiting, and why not start your summer holiday in Zagreb?
