1. Sastavci

Sastavci is not "also called" Veliki Slap. They are two different falls. Veliki Slap is the "Great Falls" (i.e., the tallest/highest waterfall in the park). Sastavci is the waterfall below Veliki Slap, that will be on your right as you're heading toward Veliki. Anyway, semantics aside, this waterfall is pretty cool b/c you walk right by/over it. It's especially nice in the morning when the gorge below is misty from the spray of these falls.

Visited over two days and did trail B and trail E. Both excellent and breathtaking views. Start as early as you can as it just gets busier. Terrain nice and easy and nota problem.
3. Mali Buk

One of the prettiest falls in the park, in my opinion. Also, you can pull off the boardwalk here a smidge to linger (as long as it's not crowded, as it very much can be) and get some good photos. Located in the Upper Lakes area of the park, this waterfall is most easily accessed by entering Gate 2, though it's worth it to go to the Lower Lakes area as well. The whole park is beautiful.
4. Lotrscak Tower

A 13th-century defense tower from which a cannon is shot every day to mark noon.
Reviewed By sallyannsligo - Sligo, Ireland
A great place to get fantastic views over the city, Lotrscak tower is very interesting and I would definitely recommend a visit when in Zagreb, try and get there at 12pm when they fire the cannon also it's great to hear all the church bells going off at this time. Nice friendly staff also.

Seen as a symbol of the city of Zagreb, St Mark's Church is situated in the upper part of the city. The colourful roof displays a couple of coats of arms.
6. Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 407 reviews
This centrally located theater seats only 850 people.
Reviewed By planetogra - Tewantin, Australia
This imposing building sits in the 'Green Horseshoe' area in the centre of Tito Square. The Croatian National Theatre ( Hrvatsko Narodno Kazaliste or HNK ) was built by architects Herman Helmer & Ferdinand Fellner under the Habsburg Empire & inaugurated in 1895. There are 5 theatres to encompass the wide variety of theatrical performances which attract a wide audience. The surrounding area used to be all swampland. HNK is a majestic edifice & its bright yellow ochre colour certainly ensures it stands out.
7. Maksimir Park (Maksimirirski perivoj)
Overall Ratings

This 18th-century, 18 hectare park also houses the city zoo.
Reviewed By Brittany_11_10 - Los Angeles, United States
What a lovely park. There's plenty of green space to have a picnic, play with your pup, do yoga, etc., and trails to stroll along or run on. Maksimir is an ideal place to get outdoors while staying in the city.

9. Cathedral of the Assumption

Reviewed By JulieM531 - Wellington, New Zealand
Magnificent set up on the hill above the city. Majestic, beautiful, even though one tower is shrouded with scaffolding. Walking inside we were overwhelmed by the peaceful serenity, beauty of the architecture, the many glorious stained glass windows, the statues and altar. We lit candles for recently departed dear friends and their grieving families and felt an extra special peace and comfort as we walked away. Truly a very special place to visit. So good for the soul to find such peace in today's world ...
10. King Tomislav Square
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 403 reviews
King Tomislav Square represents the very center of the town. Its vibrant atmosphere attracts both locals and tourists to enjoy sitting on the terraces with a coffee, cream cakes and open views. All the buildings on the square are listed as heritage buildings.

Durante l’avvento di Zagabria, in questa grande piazza c’è una bellissima pista di pattinaggio. Ci siamo divertiti tantissimo, adatta anche a chi non sa pattinare bene. During Zagreb’s Advent, there is a wonderful ice-skating track on this square. We had a lot of fun, and it’s good also for those that can’t skate so well.
