Zagreb Zoo is one of the city's long-standing family attractions, set beside the green expanse of Maksimir Park, one of the oldest public parks in Southeast Europe. Visitors come for the animal exhibits and stay on for the park's lakes, meadows and shaded paths, which make a full day out easy to fill. The zoo sits within reach of the city's museum and festival calendar, from the Zagreb Film Festival to the INmusic Festival, so a trip here often pairs with a wider weekend in the capital. Zagreb itself balances a relaxed pace with the amenities of a European capital, and around 800,000 people call it home. Many of the city's hotels, shops and museums cluster in Donji grad (Lower Town) around Ban Jelačić Square, while the historic Gornji grad (Upper Town) offers atmospheric streets and panoramic views. Trams cover all major neighbourhoods, and the Upper Town is best explored on foot. For a zoo visit, staying in Zagreb puts you within a tram ride or a short walk of Maksimir.
