In Zagreb, you can ride on the royal carriage

From this spring, a unique tourist tour of Zagreb begins with a real royal carriage belonging to the Austrian Emperor Franz Josef, and before him to the Croatian Count Josip Jelacic, the famous abolition of serfdom in Croatia. The carriage was made in the middle of the 18th century and was used mainly for trips between Zagreb and Vienna. 250 years of life did not do her good and the current owner Milenko Milinovich has already invested in its reconstruction about 100 thousand euros, turning it into a modern vehicle - electric motor, navigation and a special computer program telling tourists about the sights along the route in 4 languages, will make excursion comfortable and memorable. According to the owner, a 6-kilometer route will cover such places as Zagreb Cathedral, Dolac Market, Bana Josip Jelacic Square, Blood Bridge, St. Mark's Square and Katarina Zrinskaya Square.

- The project was conceived to connect the past, present and future. For the reconstruction of the coach took 4 years and almost 4 thousand man-hours of the 15 best masters - starting from a locksmith and carpenter, finishing with an electrician and his jewelry work on manual assembling of smart stuffing. Everything will be ready for the spring, for the arrival of the delegation from the European Union, it remains only to finish the most difficult part of the work related to gilding - this will take us about 2 more months. This is an excellent result, considering that I bought it completely empty and required a complete reconstruction from scratch - reports Milenko Milinovich.

The interior design uses natural wood: birch and linden, and the interior is sheathed with leather, silk and Venetian satin. Also in the cabin there are two unique suitcases, manufactured at about the same time as the carriage and complementing its royal luxury. The price of the excursion has not yet been fixed, but taking into account the costs of the owner, it will not be budgetary.
