Although not in its best shape, the extraordinary gardening work gives this square a special flare.

The National Theatre is a grand building when you watch it from outside. It is even more impressive when you enter. Unfortunately, you can enter only if you have a ticket for a ballet, opera, concert or a theatre performance. I was there for a concert recently, and left impressed.

When in zagreb, try to buy tickets to see a ballet or an opera which has translation in croatian and english and enjoy the best music and the dance Croatia has to offer.

The theatre is beautiful, but not overwhelming, its builders made many similar buildings across Europe. Still, the whole square is probably one of the most beautiful ones in the entire city.

Worthwhile visiting for a performace. If you don't speak the language you may be lucky to hit a good opera or ballet performance. Otherwise, the building is a piece of history and quite some baroque architecture and in the centre of the most beautiful Zagreb's square, so you'll have to visit it, no matter how short your stay is. Plenty... More
