Zagreb Vacation Rentals

In the historical city of Zagreb you can see a number of interesting cultural sites, which you can reach within a few minutes walk from a central holiday apartment. Spend your holidays not far from the upper town or the bishop's town with the famous cathedral. Those looking for peace and quiet can also find some apartments in Zagreb near the city parks. A vacation rental on the outskirts of town is the ideal starting point for walking in the woods or using the cycle paths.

Almost every fourth holiday apartment in Zagreb is equipped with a terrace or balcony, where you can end a varied excursion day relaxed. You live even more close to nature in a vacation rental with garden. If you do not wish to use your car, some landlords offer a shuttle service to pick you up from the airport or train station.
