What is the student lifestyle like in Zagreb?

There's a good support system for students, many places to go out and hang out daily, everyday.

How much does it cost to live in Zagreb?

For anyone that comes from the EU, Zagreb is cheap.

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Zagreb? Is there any advice you can give?

Yes, it's better to do it over the summer because every single person leave the city during the summer and then comes back in september searching for the apartment.

What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?

Food is amazing. Something that is called turkey with “mlinci”, is the best! Do not eat a lot of fish outside because it's not fresh (only if you buy it on the market!). Lot of pasta and burger mania, best burgers in Croatia!

What places would you recommend visiting in Zagreb?

Everything! There are too many places you should visit. The Upper town is the most beautiful one in the center.
