'From Zagreb Balconies', a superb initiative launched by the city's tourist board

On April 6, the Zagreb Tourist Board launched a wonderful initiative dubbed 'From Zagreb Balconies'. The project began with an open call on social media asking citizens to send in photos from their windows and balconies. Hundreds of submissions flooded in from neighbourhoods all across the city. 

Thanks to the project, anyone living outside of Zagreb can now see the city through locals' eyes. We've selected some captivating captures to help you explore Zagreb virtually - from its balconies.
