Readers should also know that Zagreb is the only capital city in the world that hosts one of races for FIS World Cup (Alpine Skiing), which is held on Sljeme, the top of Mt Medvednica. And there is less than an hour of travel from the very centre of the Zagreb to Sljeme which can be reached by car or cable car. The FIS World Cup is called "Snow Queen" after Jelica Kostelic who has a number of Olympic and FIS World Cup gold medals and who trained on Bjelolasica resort. And Bjelolasica is not just an hour and so from Zagreb, but also under an hour from the coast so you can ski one day and the other day enjoy a trip to coast or visit one of close by islands like Krk or Cres. This year's FIS World Cup will be held on 7th and 8th of February so if you want to visit - hurry up! What a wonderful and informative post!

Beginning with Roman occupation and extensive construction of Pannonia (Modern day Yugoslavia), to Venetian domination for several centuries thereafter, and finally to the influence of modern Italy, Croatia proper, Istria and Dalmatia were overwhelmingly Italian in language, culture and outlook. Until 1945 Split was Spalato, Rijeka was Fiume and Dubrovnic was Ragusa. To suggest otherwise is patently absurd. Croatian culture, with the exception of it language, is mostly Italian with Austrian, Hungarian and German overtones.
