History of tourism in Zagreb

Povijest turizma u Zagrebu prolazila je kroz mnoge faze u kojima se mnogo toga mijenjalo. Od početka je dolazila samo određena vrsta posjetitelja, oni koji su si to mogli priuštiti, a tijekom godina radi razvitka turizma za Zagreb je bilo zainteresirano raznoliko društvo iz različitih zemalja. Kako se Europa razvijala, tako se i sam grad. Zagreb je uvijek pratio srednjoeuropske trendove te tako uvijek imao status modernog grada. Kao najveći i najrazvijeniji grad Hrvatske uvijek je morao pratiti promjene te se tako razvijati da bi zadovoljio status kulturnog središta, modernog grada i sami turistički status. Za Zagreb se može reći da je nedvojbeno, srce kulturnog turizma u Hrvatskoj, radi svoje jedinstvenosti, veličine, različitih ponuda programa i sadržaja. Zagreb je zadnjih nekoliko godina na vrhuncu svog turizma zbog mnogih sadržaja koje nudi za sve vrste turista. Iako je povijest turizma mlađa od povijesti drevnog Zagreba, čak i kada turizam još nije bio razvijen, Zagreb je već nudio određene stavke koje su polako ukazivale na početke turističke povijesti. Upravo je to razlog zašto je Zagreb jedan takav poseban grad, on je gradio turizam na kontinentalnom prostoru u ono doba kada Hrvatska još nije bila tako razvijena turistička zemlja.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
