Day 30: Zagreb

I've been pleasantly surprised by Zagreb.  I'm not sure what I expected, but not the Vienna style buildings that are everywhere in the lower town.  The Austro-Hungarian Empire ruled Zagreb so the architecture should have been expected.  Here's a sampling of the buildings.




This one looks art nouveau.


Here is Art Pavilion and the Train Station.



There is a u-shaped series of parks that are great for strolling.





We ended up at the Modern Art Gallery.  There was an Albert Kinert Retrospective (Croatian Artist) which we liked a lot.



The permanent collection was great.  It was surprising that in a few rooms they hung a number of pieces by different artists together.


A few of my favorites were these>


This one is by Munir Vejzovic.


This one is by Petar Dobrovic call the Island of Hvar, where we visited.


We ate dinner at a lovely restaurant, Vinodol, recommended by our hotel.
