Brijuni Islands National Park
The park's archipelago, located off the western coast of Istria, consists of two large islands and twelve smaller ones. Thick forests, ancient oak trees, pine and cypress avenues, and a 1,600-year-old olive grove—all of this is part of its natural history. Brijuni National Park is known for its lush Mediterranean and marine flora, game parks, and the ruins of an ancient Roman palace and a Byzantine military camp.
Zagreb Cathedral
Construction of Zagreb Cathedral began in the 11th century. King Ladislav I of Hungary proclaimed the Catholic See of Zagreb and dedicated the cathedral to the city. It was destroyed by Tatars in the 13th century. Several restorations followed, and in the early 20th century, two new Gothic towers (104 and 105 meters high) were added, restoring the cathedral to its former glory. Today, Zagreb Cathedral has become a defining symbol of Zagreb.
Museum of Broken Relationships
Located in the Upper Town of Zagreb, Croatia, the Museum of Broken Relationships is the world's only museum dedicated to the story of a broken heart. It houses over 1,000 exhibits donated by heartbroken individuals from around the world. In 2011, it was awarded the "Most Creative Museum in Europe" award at the European Museum of the Year.
