Overview of Zagreb, Croatia
Information by Rough Guides
Although the capital of an independent nation for less than two decades, Zagreb has been the cultural and political focus of Croatia since the Middle Ages. Now home to almost a quarter of the country's population, the city grew out of the medieval communities of Kaptol and Gradec, which began life as separate fortified settlements but gradually grew to identify themselves as a single city. However, the present-day appearance of Zagreb owes most to the rapid growth of the nineteenth century, and many of the city's buildings are grand, peach-coloured monuments to the self-esteem of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Outwardly, at least, Zagreb still shares the refined urban culture of Mitteleuropa – public transport is well organized, the streets are clean, the parks impeccably manicured – but behind the city's genteel facade teems a complex blend of central European, Mediterranean and Balkan cultures.

And it went all the way around the airport, stopping several times, letting dozens of people on board, ...

We arrived in Dublin early in the morning. We were staying at the Ashbourne Marriott a few miles away from the airport, and they had a free shuttle that would take us from the airport to the hotel. I called the hotel from the airport, and they arranged a shuttle to pick us up. Check-in time was 3 PM, I believe. We arrived around 10 AM and asked if we could check in early. The hotel staff was very accommodating and said they would try to get us a room for early check-in. By the time we arrived in the hotel almost 4 hours earlier than the scheduled check-in time, our hotel room was ready for us!...
