Zagreb - Lower Town

(Local Name: Donji Grad) Donji Grad (Lower Town) is a relatively modern area of Zagreb, with museums, galleries and the National Theatre. This area, also known as the horseshoes, is spread out around numerous parks, which form a U shape. The beautiful main square of Donji Grad is Trg Josip Jelacica, (Trg Bana Jelacica) which is serviced by most of the trams. To the north of the square is the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Birgin Mary, and Gornji Grad. To the south is lies the majority of sights in Donji Grad.

Unlike the rambling street in the Upper Town, the Lower town is laid out in a more organized grid pattern. The area is lined by squares and gardens, giving it a unique appeal.
