Our Zagreb sightseeing tour started from the Mirogoj Cemetery, the memorial park where members of many different religious groups rest among ivy-covered marble arcades since the end of the 19th century.

We slowly walked among pavilions, monumental graves and domes listening to the sound of our steps and savouring the lights of the sunset from the Medvednica mountain, feeling the capital town underneath us, with its noise and its chaos, so far and blurred.

On the next day, we went to MUU: the street art Museum of Zagreb. We visited its first and main project, the graffiti Hall of Fame in Ulica Kneza Branimira, 450 meter of a colourful wall painted by the winners of a competition that took place in 2010; 83 astonishing artworks all part of a wider context, a project aimed to ‘bring art into neglected parts of the city where there is no cultural content and to form a more coherent street art scene in Croatia, raising people awareness about street art and its aesthetic, cultural and social value’.

Nearby we found a farmers’ market where we bought something for our road trip and breathed some truly Balkan spirit walking through the stalls!

Back on the road, after less that 150 kilometres, we arrived at the Plitvice Lakes National Park, which soon proved to be another circle of Hell.

The problem is that you have to share all this outstanding natural beauty with many other visitors cueing along the paths and you barely have the time to stop enjoying the view.

I would have liked to spend there at least one whole day but, later in the afternoon, we had to leave because I wanted to be in Zadar before the sunset. Can you guess why? The answer is in the next post!
