Experience in Zagreb, Croatia, by Andrea

What is it like to live in Zagreb? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

Zagreb is not my hometown, I only go to Faculty here. It's absolutely amazing, with it's rich history still living through old part of the city, great festivals and places for relaxation. Zagreb has a lot of beautiful parks, pubs, places to hangout, places for recreation and party. I would definitely recommend it, especially in spring.

Food is amazing! It's combination of middle and eastern Europe with some Mediterranean fusion. There is also a lot of Asian, Korean, Japanese, middle eastern restaurants. Street food restaurants are now very popular (and very good! ).

Old Town, Jarun lake, Medvednica mountain (hiking on Sljeme), The Main Square, etc.

Is it good to eat out in Zagreb? Can you tell us your favourite spots?

"Mundoaka street food" is my favourite place. There is also great restaurants on Dolac market place. You can try great sushi in "Binimoto" or have some coffee at "Amelie" with a view on the cathedral. You can also go to Tkalča street and enjoy vivid atmosphere with lots of great pubs and bars.
