History of tourism in Zagreb has went through many phases in which a lot has changed. From the beginning, visitors who came to Zagreb were only people who could afford such a thing, but during the years because of tourism development more people from many different countries have begun to show interest for the city. As Europe was developing, so was the city. Zagreb has always followed Central-European trends and because of that it always had a status of a modern city. As the biggest and the most developed city it was necessary to track changes and develop according to them so that Zagreb would satisfy its status of a cultural place, modern city and its touristic status. Zagreb is without a doubt the heart of cultural tourism in Croatia because of its uniqueness, its size and variety of offers and content. For the last few years Zagreb reached its touristic perk because of many contents that are provided for every kind of touristic needs. Even though history of ancient Zagreb is much more older than the touristic growth itself, even when tourism was not developed, Zagreb was full of certain offers that later started to show the early beginnings of tourism as we know of today. That is the reason why Zagreb is such a special city. It began to build and develop tourism in the continental area in the time when Croatia still was not a such an advanced touristic country.
