Why it is worth your time
In a little blue car you rise from the Lower to the Upper Town in under a minute, aboard Zagreb's oldest public transport from 1890. At the top waits Lotrščak Tower, whose Grič cannon booms over the city every noon. Climb to its viewpoint and take in the sea of red rooftops.
Croatia Atlas tip
Ride the world's shortest funicular, then brace for the Grič cannon fired at noon: cover your ears.
