Walk the cobblestones of Zagreb’s Upper Town and you can feel the city settle around you: trams murmur below, church bells punctuate the air and, later, a sleek cable car carries you up through fir and beech to the green ridge of Medvednica. The day moves from intimate streets—St. Mark’s tiled roof, the Stone Gate’s votive candles, Tkalčićeva’s café terraces—to a quieter, higher world where Sljeme’s summit opens a 360-degree view of the city below.
