Fodor's Expert Review Gradska Vijećnica
Varaždin
Government Building
This imposing landmark, one of Europe's oldest city halls, has been the seat of Varaždin's public administration since December 14, 1523. It was completely restored after the great fire of 1776. From May through October you can stop by on a Saturday morning between 11 and noon to watch the changing of the guard called Purgari, a 250-year-old tradition that lives on.
