WELCOME TO CROATIA
The flag of Croatia is one of the state symbols of Croatia. It consists of three equal size, horizontal stripes in colors red, white and blue. In the middle is the coat of arms of Croatia.The flag combines the colors of the flags of the Kingdom of Croatia (red and white), the Kingdom of Slavonia (white and blue) and the Kingdom of Dalmatia (red and blue). Those three kingdoms are the historic constituent states of the Croatian Kingdom.The shield is in the red and white checks of Croatia. Above is a crown made of shields of its various regions. From left to right they are the ancient arms of Croatia, Dubrovnik, Dalmatia, Istria, and Slavonia.Zagreb is the capital and the largest city of the Republic of Croatia. It is located in the northwest of the country, along the Sava river, at the southern slopes of the Medvednica mountain. In the last official census of 2011, the population of the settlement of Zagreb was 792,875.The wider Zagreb metropolitan area includes the City of Zagreb and the separate Zagreb County bringing the total metropolitan area population up to 1,110,517. It is the only metropolitan area in Croatia with a population of over one million. The first recorded appearance of the name Zagreb is dated to 1094, at which time the city existed as two different city centers: the smaller, eastern Kaptol, inhabited mainly by clergy and housing Zagreb Cathedral, and the larger, western Gradec, inhabited mainly by farmers and merchants. Gradec and Zagreb were united in 1851 by ban Josip Jelačić, who was credited for this, with the naming the main city square, Ban Jelačić Square in his honour.Public transportation in the city is organized in several layers: the inner parts of the city are mostly covered by trams, the outer suburbs are linked with buses, while some suburban areas are accessible by commuter rail. Four young Croatians have come up with an idea to make Croatia the country with the greatest welcome in the whole world. They will spend 65 days walking, driving their bikes, canuing and rock climbing from Savudrija on the north to Dubrovnik on the south of the Adriatic coast. During their trip they will pass 2500km, visit 6 National parks, 3 Nature parks , 4 protected landscapes, reserves and geomorphologic monuments, 6 rivers and 11 mountain peaks.The project is supported by the Croatian National Tourist Board and the goal is to promote natural beauties, protected landscapes and small charming towns of Croatia.In those days we will offer Dinner in the Sky® experience along with a unique culinary pleasure in the center of Split. The table with 22 guests will be suspended at a height of 50 meters by a team of professionals, to enjoy their life’s most unique and special dinner – together with their friends. The event will host the top chefs in Croatia and Dalmatia region. During the dinners, in the evening session, the chef personally will join the quests at the height of 50 meters to serve and talk about his food and menu. This exclusive atmosphere with extraordinary food and face-to-face contact with exceptional chef will create everlasting impression to everybody.
