Zagreb’s melody

In Zagreb's heart where cobblestones gleam,

A city of tales, a poet's dream.

Nestled amongst hills just right,

Zagreb enchants in morning light.

~

Beneath the spires, red rooftops dance,

A symphony of colours, a visual trance.

Medieval echoes whisper in the breeze,

In Zagreb's embrace, time finds its ease.

~

Ban Jelačić Square, a lively stage,

Where history and modernity engage.

Blue trams weave through streets with rhythmic glee,

Zagreb's heartbeat east of the sea.

~

St. Mark's Church, a mosaic of pride,

Stories etched in colours, nowhere to hide.

Lotus blooms, a Croatian crest,

Zagreb's skyline is the nest.

~

Kaptol and Gradec, hillsides unite,

A tale of two cities that were at their height.

The funicular whispers secrets untold,

In its ascent, history unfolds.

~

A city of museums, culture's embrace,

Zagreb's elegance, impossible to erase

In the city’s cafés, a culture takes flight,

Espresso dreams dance in the sunlight.

~

Dolac Market, a lively affair,

Colours and aromas fill the air.

From fresh produce to crafts so fine,

In Zagreb's heart, artisans shine.

~

Mirogoj Cemetery, a serene retreat,

Where whispers of poets and leaders meet.

Cypress guardians in solemn rows,

Zagreb's stories, in silence, compose.

~

In every corner, a poetic spree,

Oh Zagreb, a timeless melody.
