Uspinjaca (Funicular Railway) 4 stars
Travel Tip: Uspinjaca (Funicular Railway)

We took this funicular when we went to visit the Lotrscak Tower. If you have never been on one before this will probably be the least scary one you´ll every try because it´s only about 40 metres... [more]

St. Mark's Church 4 stars
Travel Tip: Saint Mark's Church

We stumbled upon this church walking around Gradec. Gradec was once declared a free city with its own walls to protect itself and is a nice area to explore on foot. You can still see one of the old... [more]

Travel Tip: Lake Jarun

Not many people believed me when I told them we spent some days on a beach in Zagreb, but that´s exactly what we did! At Jarun there are several man made lakes and a rocky but nice and clean blue... [more]

Pekas apartments 4 stars
Condo Review: Pekas apartments

I have stayed in hostels and a guesthouse in Zagreb and the Pekas apartments are by far the most comfortable. You really feel like you have your own home in the city.

Stone Gate (Kamenita Vrata) 4 stars
Travel Tip: Kamenita Vrata

We walked up to Gradec to see the Stone Gate, but since it was such a peaceful area with almost no traffic we had a nice walk around its little streets. Gradec is situated on a hill and about 10... [more]

Tkalciceva Street 4 stars
Travel Tip: Tkalciceva

This street is lined with cafes and we stopped here on several afternoons to have a coffee and cake. It´s a busy street just off Jelacic Square so great for people watching, but it wasn´t only... [more]

Jelacic Square 4 stars
Travel Tip: Ban Jela?i? Square

Since it is the city centre it would be almost impossible not to see this square if you visit Zagreb. But we must have passed through it several times to take a tram or walking somewhere before we... [more]

Bar Review: SPOON lounge bar

The whole day had been overcast with a few spots of rain and we were feeling our legs after looking around the city´s sights, so we decided to treat ourselves with a drink and a meal at this... [more]

Bulldog Pub 4 stars
Bar Review: Bulldog Pub

We went to this pub a couple of times. It is quite central and a big old place with a kind of airforce and navy theme with these big propellers hanging from the ceiling. The first night there was a... [more]

Travel Tip: Croatian National theater

We decided to watch a play here in the Croatian language. I know for some this might be too frustrating not to understand what´s being said, but I just loved listening to the language and watching... [more]

Hostel Mali Mrak 4 stars
Hostel Review: Hostel Mali Mrak

I wasn´t sure about the location for this hostel but it turned out to be no problem at all. It is too far to walk to the centre but only about 10 mins on the tram which is quite frequent.

Strossmayer's Old Masters Gallery 4 stars
Travel Tip: Strossmayer Gallery

The weather was not that great so I had my arm twisted to visit this gallery in the centre of Zagreb. It turned out to be well worth the 10KN entrance fee. You can see about 7 centuries worth of... [more]

This was just a bit of luck when we decided to have dinner here on a Monday night. It turned out they have a local Mariachi band performing every Monday. These guys were a lot of fun with their... [more]

Zoo - Maksimir Park 4 stars
Travel Tip: Maksimir Park

During our visit it was clear this zoo in Zagreb is making a serious effort to ensure the welfare of their animals but I still cringed a bit to see the proud lions in a small fenced off area. I do... [more]

Travel Tip: Lotrscak Tower
