Zagreb County
Zagreb County is an attractive year-round excursion and recreational destination, a green necklace of Zagreb, the capital of the Republic of Croatia. The county boasts a rich history, tradition, cultural and church heritage, preserved nature, and exceptional landscapes.
Zagreb County, located around the Croatian metropolis, has managed to preserve its soul and tradition despite modern urban developments. The numerous smaller traditional craft centers and settlements scattered throughout the Zagreb surroundings are a testament to this, now attractive destinations for both excursionists and tourists, as well as business people, who often spend a peaceful weekend there or find respite from their dynamic daily business routines.
The Green Necklace of Zagreb
Near Zagreb, which has always been naturally, historically, and economically connected to it, the Zagreb surroundings have produced many great names in various fields of history, art, science, politics, clergy, and literature. Furthermore, many kings, rulers, and local and foreign nobility have paused here throughout history during their travels, finding a place to call their new home. The silent witnesses of those times—castles, medieval fortifications, and numerous noble manors—still tell many forgotten stories to tourists today.
The mountainous belt with gentle hills, picturesque vine-covered slopes, untouched corners of nature, traditions and accompanying events, diverse gastronomic offerings, old wine cellars, and a glass of good wine, along with the hospitality and smiles of its people—all of this is Zagreb County.
