OLIVE (apartment)

Home description

The apartment OLIVE has been inspired by the Mediterranean’s most beautiful tree that nourishes us with wonderful products. The guests will have a chance to enjoy their coffee on a little terrace, sitting next to the olive tree, enjoying the morning sun. You will be surrounded by the beautiful photographs of olive trees and olives – in making their journey from the fruit to the oil. And for those who stay a bit longer, there is a nice little bottle of olive oil to taste or take a bit of Croatia home with you.

The Zagreb Region

WHAT TO SEE IN ZAGREB AND SURROUNDING:
The Upper town, the former Gradec, together with Kaptol is the oldest part of the city. These two boroughs had been engaged in tough skirmishes once. Later they united into one city that spread further down to the South.

UPPER TOWN

THE STONE GATE (KAMENITA VRATA) – is the only preservedMeadieval town gate of the original four.

THE OLDEST PHARMACY – with continuous tradition since 1355.

ST. MARK’S SQUARE – St. Mark’s Church that was built in the mid 13th century dominates this most beautiful square of the Upper Town. Many events crucial for Zagreb and entire Croatia took place here and many important edifices and institutions are located in this relatively tight space. The most attractive of all is St. Mark’s Church with its Romanesque naves, Gothic vaults and sanctuary and picturesque tiles on its multi-coloured roof that are arranged in such way that they form historical coats of arms of Zagreb and Croatia. T

ST. CATHERINE’S SQUARE – named after St. Catherine’s Church, the most beautiful baroque church in Zagreb, built by Jesuits between 1620 and 1632.

LOTRŠČAK TOWER – only in Zagreb the noon is announced by the cannon firing from the Lotrščak Tower erected in the mid-13th century. It is the best-preserved part of the former defence system of the town.

FUNICULAR – the upper station of the funicular is here too – right beside the Lotrščak Tower. The funicular ride it short and picturesque and takes one to the Upper Town, or, in the opposite direction, down to Ilica, the city’s most dynamic street.

BETWEEN UPPER TOWN AND KAPTOL

TKALČIĆEVA STREET – located east of the Upper Town, used to be the boundary between the Upper town and Kaptol – two boroughs that were in engaged in quite tough skirmishes once. This former boundary is today a picturesque street with cafes in almost every house. The people of Zagreb crowd this street day in day out, making it one of the centres of modern urban life.

KAPTOL

CATHEDRAL OF SAINT MARY OF THE ASSUMPTION – it is the symbol of Zagreb with its two neo-Gothic towers dominating the skyline at 104 and 105 metres.

DOLAC – the oldest and the largest market place in the heart of the city, a platter, dish and bowl placed in front of the hungry mouth of the City. Around 60 to 70 thousand people shop daily at this wonderful food mecca, right next to the Zagreb cathedral.

LOWER TOWN

BAN JOSIP JELAČIĆ SQUARE – the Austro-Hungarian styled square is the true centre of the city.

ZAGREB HORSESHOE – the loveliest city squares and the most beautiful parks lined up in a shape of a horseshoe, with fountains and monuments, representative buildings, palaces, museums and cultural institutions – they all make up the amazing “Green Horseshoe of Zagreb”.

MAKSIMIR PARK AND THE CITY ZOO – the oldest public cultivated park in Europe offers a perfect half-day outing. The 18 hectares of lush greenery and forest was opened to the public in 1794 and an added bonus, the city zoo, is hosed within it.

MIROGOJ CEMETERY
Mirogoj, the central Zagreb cemetery, situated on the slopes of Medvednica, is one of the most beautiful cemeteries in Europe. It is not only the burial place but also a beautiful park and an open art gallery. The well-known architect Herman Bolle designed the shape of the cemetery, applying a monumental composition of arcades, pavilions and domes, intermingled with rich vegetation, and adding a gallery of sculptures by Croatian sculptures.

JARUN LAKE
Known as the “Zagreb sea”, this is a great place for sport and recreation. It can easily be reached from the city centre by tram. The lake is equipped with one of the best regatta racing tracks in the world.

MEDVEDNICA
High above the city spread the forested Medvednica, the Zagreb Mountain - a protected nature park and a favourite outing destination for Zagreb residents. The cable car connects the city with Medvednica’s highest peak - Sljeme. Medvednica abounds in beautiful walks, hiking tracks and mountain huts that offer typical Croatian continental specialties such as beans with sausage, sauerkraut with blood sausage, Zagreb snitzel, strukli (cheese strudel) etc. One of the hiking tracks leads to Medvedgrad – the old royal city in the beautiful surrounds of Medvednica Nature Park (accessible by car).

Zagreb area

Zagreb is the hub of the business, academic, cultural, artistic and sporting world in Croatia. Many famed scientists, artists and athletes come from the city, or work in it. Zagreb offers its visitors the Baroque atmosphere of the Upper Town, picturesque open-air markets, diverse shopping facili­ties, an abundant selection of crafts and a choice vernacular cuisine. Zagreb is a city of green parks and walks, with many places to visit in the beautiful surroundings. In spite of the rapid development of the economy and transportation, it has retained its charm, and a relaxed feeling that makes it a genuinely human city.
