Like many of its neighbouring countries, Croatia is absolutely stuffed with fascinating landmarks, museums, architecture and the like. It differs however in the way that these things are presented: (A) no admission lines into churches or tourists flashing cameras on nuns during mass; (B) no horrendous lines into the museums, and smaller admission expense to get in; (C) less ex-pats ruining your dinner with their excessively loud discussion about how they are on the verge of conquering the nation with their impressive business philosophies; (D) less camera-toters on the main square. The list could go on and on, though in short Zagreb has not been turned into the tourism amusement park that its closest neighbours - Prague, Budapest and Venice for instance - have become. You get to see life as it is here, quite a unique characteristic today.
