Zagreb is not one of the cities which are ranked highly as a tourist attraction.

The main attractions that you can conveniently view when you choose car hire services are in the city which is divided into two major parts; Donji Grad (downtown) and upper town known as Gornji Grad. Gornji grad is home to Zagreb’s Cathedral and the country’s parliament building. This two have been regarded as architectural marvels by people who visited the city. They feature ancient architectural designs giving a great sight to people who would like to break the monotony of square skyscrapers and other buildings in modern cities.
Donji Grad the lower town part of Zagreb has some sceneries and tourist attractions too. It is mostly visited for its museums and the Croatian national theatre. Lower town Zagreb and upper town Zagreb meet at Trg Bana Jelacica the city’s square which is awesome to its own standards. The city loses appeal or rather much of an interest from sightseeing tourist as you move away from the city center. It might however be interesting if you appreciate 20th century architecture as the landscape is covered by these buildings.
With your car hire, you will find that it can be thrilling to take a holiday to Croatia’s coast. Among its attractions include the city walls of Dubrovnik which shielded it years back. You will probably appreciate Minceta, Revelin, Bokar and Sveti Ivan which are the corner towers of the wall. Dubrovnik also features two fountains in its main street designed by Onoforio and dating back to the 15th century. Porec which has maintained its ancient street system from the Roman times is another of the attractions you will be interested in. There is not much to see here but the city is awesome in its own way owing to the ancient design.
Other sceneries that you can conveniently view when you opt for car hire include the main gate to the city of Labin. It has above it the Venetian lion and Labin crest historic attractions from the 15th century. After sightseeing you can then run to the beach which never tires.
