The City's feudal fortress known as the Old Town is the most important historical building in Varaždin.

Unlike other cemeteries, the Varaždin cemetery, creaeted by the visionary soul of Herman Haller, is not only a resting place of the dead, but also a remarkable example of park architecture and a nature monument.

In a historic necklace of Central European cities Varaždin reveals itself to its guests as a rare urban pearl. 

There are 11 bell towers, 6 churches and 3 monasteries in the old city core. The highest tower is the tower of the Franciscan church (54,5 m) built in 1641. The patron saint of Varaždin is St. Nicholas.

This monumental two-storey palace, built in row on the south side of the Franjevački square (St. Franciscans' Square), has the shape of an elongated rectangle which closes the inner courtyard with three connected courtyard wings.

The weather station in Varaždin, located next to the Alojzija Stepinca Street and Vatroslava Jagića promenade, was built in 1909. It is put up on the octogonal base with three steps.

The Trakošćan castle was built in the late 13th century as part of the northwest Croatia defense system. It served as a smaller observation point for observing the road from Ptuj to the Bednja valley.

The organ in St. Mary's Church is one of the few organs in northern Croatia built in an Italian traditional style.

The tradition of lace-making is an example of culture of the area. As the high point of the baroque tradition, lace gives a touch of festivity to everyday life.

Between the 1st and the 4th century AD, near a thermal water spring, there was a very important Roman settlement named Aquae Iasae in the place of today's town of Varaždinske Toplice.

The town of Ludbreg is known in Croatia as the Sanctuary of the Most Precious Blood of Christ.

The town of Ludbreg is one of the oldest settlements in Croatia. That little town in Podravina region has developed on the crossroads of roads leading from the East to the West and from the north to the south, and all the traders had to pass over the river Bednja.

The Old Town of Ludbreg consists of a square-shaped castle and two outbuildings. Around the castle you can still see glipmses of a defence moat, to which the water came from the Bednja river. The castle has a ground floor plus three additional floors, first of which is significantly higher.
