The Croats decided enough was enough and dedicated a great mass of acreage to non-paved land right in the city. Chipmunks, puppies and pigeons celebrate this fact daily and you'll find yours is a happier existence if you do the same.

Botanical garden
Botanical garden
With over 10,000 plant species, this garden will remind you that indeed yes, there is more to life than cars and fumes of exhaust and high-rises that house humans and computers transferring billions of dollars with clicks of fingers.
