Category
Upon arriving in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, we begin our city tour in the Upper Town, starting with the cathedral, the largest religious building in the country. Its two towering spires can be seen from almost every corner of the city. The current Neo-Gothic cathedral was rebuilt after a major earthquake in 1880. Inside, it is richly adorned and houses important artifacts dating back to the 11th century. Passing through the open-air market, we reach the Stone Gate, protected by the Virgin Mary, which enshrines an image of the Madonna and Child. Legend has it that a fire in 1731 destroyed much of the old town, but the Stone Gate, along with the Madonna painting, remained untouched. Ever since, it has become a place of continuous devotion. Passing through the gate, we arrive at St. Mark’s Church, renowned for its beautiful mosaic-tiled roof. The mosaic pattern symbolizes the unity of the country’s three major ethnic groups. In a city of red-tiled rooftops typical of Eastern Europe, the church’s distinctive roof leaves a lasting impression.

Detailed Itinerary
Day 1~2 : Ljubljana / 2 nights in Ljubljana
Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, sits at the crossroads of Germanic, Latin, and Slavic worlds. Long considering itself a cultural hub of Central Europe, it also serves as Slovenia’s political, economic, and cultural center. In the Old Town, we will visit Prešeren Square and the elegant pink Franciscan Church, built in 1660. The statue of the romantic poet France Prešeren stands on the square, gazing toward his muse. The famous Triple Bridge is located right beside the square; to the east lies the Old Town, home to landmarks such as the Town Hall, the Three Rivers Fountain, Town Square, and the Baroque-style St. Nicholas Cathedral. Additionally, the Love Lock Bridge, completed in 2010, has become a must-visit spot for couples to pledge their everlasting love.
Day 3–4: Ljubljana – Train – Zagreb / 2 Nights in Zagreb
Arriving in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, we begin our city tour from the Upper Town Cathedral, the largest religious building in the country. Its twin spires are visible from many corners of the city.
The current Neo-Gothic structure was rebuilt after the 1880 earthquake and boasts a richly decorated interior, preserving important relics dating back to the 11th century. Passing through the open-air market, we reach the Stone Gate, protected by the Virgin Mary, where a revered painting of the Madonna and Child is enshrined.
Legend has it that a great fire in 1731 destroyed much of the Old Town, yet the Stone Gate remained unharmed thanks to the Madonna painting, and it has since become a place of devotion. Beyond the Stone Gate lies the world-famous St. Mark’s Church, known for its beautifully tiled mosaic roof. The roof’s mosaic pattern symbolizes the union of the country’s three main ethnic groups. Amidst a cityscape of red-tiled roofs, the church’s distinctive roof leaves a lasting impression on visitors.

Today, the palace forms the heart of the Old Town and is considered one of the best-preserved Roman palaces in the world.
Exploring the palace ruins, visitors can see remnants such as the original Temple of Jupiter, the Cathedral of Split, and even spoils brought back from Egyptian campaigns. Despite the passage of centuries, the grandeur and opulence of the Roman palace remain unmistakable.
Modern Split has grown to become Croatia’s second-largest city after the capital and serves as the most important commercial and maritime hub along the Adriatic coast. In the Old Town, tourists love to visit the golden toe of the city’s patron saint; legend has it that touching it brings good luck!
