Zagreb, the capital of Croatia has - as metropolitan area - a population of 1.2 million people. This means that more than one quarter of all the inhabitants of Croatia live in or around their capital. The role that Zagreb has for that nation cannot be over-estimated. Clearly, the capital is also Croatia's mega-center. Traditionally, there has been a lot of industry in Zagreb (especially chemical, pharmaceutical, clothes, food), and after the fall of communism, when Croatia finally gained its freedom and national independence, the manufacturing sector made its transition into the world of capitalism surprisingly smoothly.
Now the service sector is also of prime importance for the metropolitan area.
Besides its economic significance, Zagreb is Croatia's undisputed cultural center, and there are many reasons for this. Of course, it is an old city with a multitude of vintage buildings, like the 13th-century Church of St. Mark, or the also medieval Lotrščak Tower (same century). But Zagreb does not only live in the past. In fact, recently the city has been undergoing a renaissance of a magnitude that does not occur all that often around the world. In the early 90's Zagreb "discovered" how close it really is to the West - and this development was mutual. There was giving and receiving, and this led to Zagreb's cultural scene becoming one of the most vibrant ones in Europe.
The city's large student community is a vital part of what makes Zagreb - and the impact this has on its cultural life has been highly beneficial. So Zagreb is hip and modern without having lost its soul and its very specific atmosphere. By the way, the fact that in its center the building of skyscrapers was long forbidden adds to the elegant and posh feeling that Zagreb exudes. Culture-lovers of any kind will find something in Zagre.
