Croatia Car Hire Guide
A decade has passed since a bloody war parted Croatia from Yugoslavia and it is once again a surprisingly good tourist destination, boasting medieval cities and the unrivalled Dalmatia coast.
Zagreb can easily be explored on foot, with a few remaining medieval buildings and little evidence from the war except the moving 40,000-brick wall around the former American barracks to commemorate missing persons. There is a good view from the Lotrscak Tower, while the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary has some medieval and Renaissance remnants. Several fine museums are found in the city and there are several lively suburbs by night. Strangely, the Mirogoj cemetery is serenely beautiful with its English garden landscaping and neo-classic mausoleums.
