ZAGREB, CROATIA 🇭🇷 CREEPY TUNNEL, CITY EXPLORATION and BORDER CROSSING!

Off to Croatia! First up-Zagreb!
On the last morning in Belgrade, I grabbed some coffee for Paige and myself at Starbucks, on the way to meet our driver, Darko, who we would be spending (at least) the next 3 hours and 45 minutes with on the way to Zagreb, Croatia. 1:26
We drove to the border and crossed the border from Serbia with ease, and then drove to the entry border to Croatia. We were about 5 cars from the border when the system malfunctioned and caused all of the border computers to go down! 2:38
Once the computers came back online, we were met with another issue-the agent demanded that we had our viral swab results printed out, which we hadn’t done. He sent us back to Serbia, but luckily the Serbians were kind enough to print it out for us-special thanks to Darko for his efforts in making this happen for us! 5:08
Once we arrived in Zagreb, we checked into the Sheraton Hotel. The hotel was very affordable and was nearly the price of an apartment rental, so we decided to take the hotel for one night. 6:39
We then set out to the Zagreb Cathedral, on the way to Jelacic Square-the main square in Zagreb. On the weekend that we were there, they were having a special market in the square which was great to experience! 7:55
We left the square and got lost in a tunnel which we later learned was used during WWII in Zagreb, and now acts as an alternative means to get from one street to the other, particularly in cold or rainy weather! 10:29
Since we had such a small amount of time left in Zagreb, of the many museums you can select to visit in Zagreb, we chose the Museum of Broken Relationships, which was both charming and unique! I highly recommend visiting if you ever find yourself in Zagreb! 13:40
From there, we were directed by the woman working at the museum to an area for dinner and chose to eat at the Curry Bowl-one of the highest rated restaurants in Zagreb, Croatia on TripAdvisor! 15:24
Once we were done, we went right back to the hotel to get a good night of sleep before heading out again the next morning! 16:55
Stay tuned for the next episode as we head further south from Zagreb, into Croatia!
This is part fourteen in a series that started with flying from London, so if you missed part one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, or thirteen, be sure to check them out! And as always, thank you for watching!!!

Nice video guys, hope you are enjoying your stay in Zagreb. Quick info for you though about the Zagreb cathedral. The spire you point out at 9:05 actually was on top of the cathedral, however, on March 22nd 2020 Zagreb was struck by a 5.5 magnitude earthquake followed by a 5.0 magnitude aftershock which collapsed the 15-metre tall spire of the southern tower, the one ongoing a renovation, while the northern tower's 15-metre spire, the one you saw on the bottom and thought had to go up, actually rotated by almost 30 centimetres during the earthquake and was dangerously close to falling down. Therefore it had to be mechanically removed from the top using explosives and cranes to detach it from the frame of the tower and is now staying there on a display. Luckily that was done, as on December 29th 2020 a strong 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck the city of Petrinja some 50 kilometres away from the Zagreb which caused additional damage. Unfortunately, there have been some fatalities in both earthquakes. That's why if you pay closer attention while walking through the city, you can see many buildings still cracked and heavily damaged. Because of that, the cathedral is also closed as it's damaged inside and there are fears of vaults collapsing down.

Thanks for the comment. No one mentioned the earthquake at all to us. One person, after we left mentioned that the spire had fallen down in the earthquake which seemed as though it would have been more damaged. It makes sense that it was mechanically removed. :-)

If you go north of Zagreb you will see the land of castles, spas and alpine foothills

[@MrNonrev]

Alas, we went south next to Plitvice! There is always next time! On my last trip I had been to Slovenia alone, so that's why we didn't head that way. :-)

[@moonlight_iridescence7793]

@@MrNonrev oh I'm not talking about Slovenia ( but Slovenia is really simillar to the region I'm talking about ) I'm talking about north Croatia, it's a place where the Panonnian plain, Alps and Dinaric Alps meet, also the local dialect is more simillar to Slovene than to standard Croatian. If you ever return visit Varaždin, Trakošćan, Marija Bistrica, Kumrovec, Krapina and Tuhelj...

that tunnel on the beggining was safe place for soliders and people when was the war

[@MrNonrev]

For sure--we met a woman who explained a bit about it, but she did not want to be on the video, so we cut it. :-)

Jelačić Plac - Pronounce it as Jelachich platz

[@MrNonrev]

Thank you! So I did OK, on the first pronunciation, but not so good on the subsequent ones... :-)

Not Welcoming to Croatia? Next time Make sure all of your paperwork is on order

[@MrNonrev]

Hey there! Yes, I had checked both Croatia's online site, as well as the American Embassy, and neither said that it was needed more than to show the agent. On our end the paperwork had been "on order," but thanks for your concern.

[@robertrauter4984]

aaa odjebi se i pusti njih u miru......kakav paperwork.....super vlog guys and if you need help with papaework....I got a guy...let me know...

[@marsupiotupak]

If by any chance you learn Serbian, then you have learned Croatian and vice versa. Kind regards

[@MrNonrev]

Unfortunately I didn't learn either. I did find several people who also spoke German which became helpful! :-)
