We started by eating a traditional Croation lunch - beer and a dish similar to lasagna with ham, mushrooms, and enough cheese to give anyone a heart attack!
Then it was off to the most famous cathedral in town, the Zagreb Cathedral.
There was even a Cardinal "sleeping" (as we told Ripley) in the Church. At least it kept him to a whisper!
Just as we were leaving the sun was starting to set and it seemed like a great time to see the lights at the Christmas Market, called Zagreb Advent.
Yup, that's about right!
The next morning we had a few hours before our flight so we took another stroll around the city.
I loved this statue outside of Zagreb University.
The opera house.
City streets with the tram tracks running down the middle.
We came across a WWII bunker. Which had been turned into a Christmas wonderland.
On the other side of the tunnel, we found this wonderful little chapel right in the middle of a stone bridge with a street running through it. The pews were on one side of the road and the altar was on the other side of the road. There were plaques all around the tunnel that said "thank you."
On the top of the hill was St. Marks, one of the most famous churches because of its roof. Cool, huh?
We then walked down the hill to our hotel, stopping to admire the view and take one more pass at the amazing food at the Christmas market.
The old city walls.
And a quick stop at the Croatian football museum.
