Varaždin - Baroque Capital of Croatia
A jewel of harmony and intimacy, the charm of “Croatia’s Vienna” lies not only in its architecture, but also in its atmospheric squares and lovely streets. The buildings, museums, music and flowers of Varaždin continue to offer a relaxing break from everyday life.
The city's rich history spans eight centuries. It was home to the region’s wealthiest nobles, landowners, artisans and artists, especially in the late 1700s, when the city flourished and became the capital of Croatia.

Did you know?

The wine-drinkers society “Pinta” was founded in 1694 by count Patačić and certainly stood out for its originality in later history. “Pinta” “wine doctors” would gather together at copious feasts. Their response to the condemnations of Varaždin clergy was a witty remark “He who drinks well sleeps well. He who sleeps well commits no sin, and he who commits no sin shall go to Heaven; therefore, he who drinks well shall go to Heaven.” Women from highest echelons of aristocracy were also to be found among the “wine doctors”.
