Our day was spent on a walking tour of the capital city. A long history of rule by the Austro Hungarian Empire is reflected in its architecture. A large square in the heart of the city is the meeting place with hundreds of restaurants. High on the upper city is the magnificent Zagreb Cathedral surrounded by a preserved wall built in the mid 13th Century. A very efficient and modern tram system funnels citizens in and out of the heart of the city and its large town square. We next visited the Museum Naiive which contains paintings and sculptures by unschooled often illiterate artists. Several became world famous like Grandma Moses. The afternoon was spent wondering through the large flower, vegetable and art markets.
