Palaces and old buildings show the beauty of baroque, rococo and classicism. This city is also sometimes called “the city of bell towers”. The Croatian National Theater is an everlasting reminder of Croatian culture just like the Varaždin Folklore ensemble. And advantages of the Drava River are fully used — angling, recreation, sports. Varaždin has one thing in common with Split — the statue of Grgur Ninski.
Every year, since 1971, at the beginning of autumn, a baroque music festival has been held. Streets and squares seem to come back to life during September, when the street festival occurs ( Špancir fest).
