Short flight? Check. Luxurious hotel? Check. A cultural hotspot to take you away from your daily routine? Check. Less than two and half hours flight away, Zagreb is the ideal city for a long weekend break. This little gem lying in the heart of Croatia is perfect for a refreshing mix of culture, activity and luxury.
Frequently being compared to Prague and Vienna, Zagreb is fast becoming the chosen destination for romantic, stylish city breaks. From the tips of the looming church spires to the colourful residential streets, shrines and statues, a unique charm radiates from every corner. A synthesis of history and modern day life, Zagreb is captivating and extremely fulfilling, even for the most experienced traveller.
You'll stay in The Regent Esplanade where you can couple your cultural experience with ultimate luxury. Lavish décor, traditional style and impeccable service will ensure you get the most out of your short break.
Stroll around the 1000yr old cobbled streets of Gomji Grad, lit with authentic gas lamps to give you a real sense of the past, stopping to explore the picturesque open air markets bursting with Croatian treasures. Hundreds of churches, palaces and museums will also keep you busy. Taste the finest Croatian cuisine in 19th century Donji Grad before a traditional trip to the theatre. If simplicity is what you're after, why not sit outside a buzzing café in a beautiful square soaking up the laid-back holiday atmosphere.
Time permitting, we recommend escaping the city streets for the calm tranquility of lake Jarun. Sprinkled with shingle beaches it is a dream setting for trying out water sports or lazing on the sand. You can also take a drive through one of the local vineyard routes and tour award-wining wine cellars.
Finally, enjoy the thriving Zagreb nightlife in one of the many bustling live jazz and blues bars, or head to one of the infamous nightclubs and dance into the small hours. A truly perfect weekend break in an up-and-coming European city- you'll want to come back again and again.
