Zagreb (pronounced [ˈzâːgrɛb]) is the capital and the largest city
of Croatia. Zagreb is the cultural, scientific, cinematic, economic
and governmental center of the Republic of Croatia. According to the
city government, the population of Zagreb in 2008 was 786,200[3]
(approx. 1.2 million in the metropolitan area).[4] It is situated
between the southern slopes of the Medvednica mountain and both
northern and southern bank of the Sava river at an elevation of
approximately 122 m (400 ft) above sea level. Its favorable geographic position in the southwestern part of the Pannonian Basin, which extends to the Alpine, Dinaric, Adriatic and Pannonic regions, provides an excellent connection for traffic between Central Europe and the Adriatic Sea. The transport connections, concentration of industry, scientific and research institutions and industrial tradition underlie its leading economic position in Croatia. Zagreb is the seat of the central government, administrative bodies and almost all government ministries. Demographics Zagreb is the largest city in Croatia, and is the only Croatian city whose metropolitan population exceeds one million people. Most people live in the city proper. The official 2001 census counted 779,145 residents, although by 2006 that number had grown to 784,900, according to the city government estimates.[3] According to the 2001 census, there are 1,088,841 people in the Zagreb metropolitan area, which includes the smaller cities of Dugo Selo, Samobor, Velika Gorica and Zapreić. However, non-city-sanctioned 2007 estimates place this number around 1.2 million.[4] The majority of its citizens are Croats making up 91.94% of the city's population (2001 census). The same census records 40,066 residents belonging to ethnic minorities. Such ethnic minorities comprise: 18,811 Serbs (2.41%), 6,204 Bosniaks (0.80%), 4,030 Muslims by nationality (0.52%), 3,389 Albanians (0.43%), 3,225 Slovenes (0.41%), 1,946 Roma (0.25%), 1,131 Montenegrins (0.17%), 1,315 Macedonians (0.17%), together with other smaller minor ethnic communities.[5] Climate The climate of Zagreb is classified as humid subtropical (Cfa in Köppen climate classification system). Zagreb has four separate seasons. Summers are hot, and winters are cold, without a discernible dry season. The average temperature in winter is 1 °C (34 °F) and the average temperature in summer is 20 °C (68 °F). Particularly, the end of May gets very warm with temperatures rising above 30 °C (86 °F).
