Zagreb, the country's capital city, with a population of almost 1 million, is at once a crossroads between Western and Central Europe dating back 900 years, as well as a modern European city rich in cultural and historical monuments, museums, galleries, shops, hotels, restaurants, sports facilities, concert halls, nightlife and theatres, including Croatia's first professional English language theatre.

Zagreb is a major hub linked to every major European city as well as to domestic destinations by air, railway, and roadways.

Rarely does one find a city so comfortable to live in which offers a river (Sava), lake for boating and swimming (Jarun), and mountain for skiing (Slijeme), all within a tram ride. As Croatia accedes to the European Union, Zagreb will become an even more desireable residential location.
