These two settlements, divided by Medveščak stream and connected by the Bloody Bridge, united in 1850 into the city we know today, commencing the history of mayors and archbishops whose lives had been full of interesting anecdotes. One mayor was the first one to get his drivers licence, another one was “carried away by water” and the third one got his heart pierced by a needle after he died. One archbishop took part in the Hungarian revolution, and another one was placed under house arrest. These and many more interesting tales can be heard on this tour that leads you through the historical center of Zagreb.

    I like Lisinski very much. It was very intense to perform there, because people came, listened carefully and felt the music in their hearts. Lisinski is a beautiful concert hall, and I am very honored to be performing there. I have wonderful memories of my first performance in Lisinski.

    Jesse Eisenberg (actor) spent the autumn in Zagreb in 2007: Zagreb is an incredible town. I enjoyed sightseeing the old parts of the town, and at night I went to clubs. I was thrilled that it was near Austria and Italy, so I visited Venice, Milan, Ljubljana, Graz, Split... over the weekends.
