Varazdin - Baroque Capital of Croatia : A jewel of harmony
and intimacy, the charm of ''Croatia's Vienna'' lies not
only in its architecture, but also in its atmospheric
squares and lovely streets. The buildings, museums,
music and flowers of Varaždin continue to offer a relaxing
break from everyday life. The city's rich history spans
eight centuries. It was home to the region's wealthiest
nobles, landowners, artisans and artists, especially in
the late 1700s, when the city flourished and became the
capital of Croatia.

Trakoscan - One of the most attractive Croatian medieval
castles and historic sites, Trakošcan, with its forest-park,
lake and nature-trail, its museum and well-preserved
interior, is rightly called ''the pearl of Hrvatsko Zagorje''.
The castle was built at the end of the 13th Century in the
picturesque Bednja Valley, surrounded by the meadows, forest,
and small vineyards of the gently sloping Zagorje mountains:
Strahinjšcica (847 m.), Macelj (715 m.), Ravna Gora (686 m.)
and the tallest, Ivanšcica (1061 m.).
