Zagreb, just 30 minutes from the Slovenian border, stretches from the foothills of Medved-
nica (“Bear Mountain”) to the Sava River. In the middle of the sprawl, you'll find the mod-
ern

(Donji Grad, centered on
Jela
č
i
ć
Square
) and the historic
Upper Town
(Gornji Grad, comprising the original hill towns of
Gradec
and
Kaptol
). To the south is a
U-shaped belt of parks, squares, and museums that make up the
“Green Horseshoe.”
The
east side of the U is a series of three parks, with the train station at the bottom (south) and
Jela
č
i
ć
Square at the top (north).
