I love yours V-Blogs... But don't leave Zagreb before exploring 3 more places... 1. Medvednica, the nature park situated north of the Zagreb. This beautiful place is famous for castle Medvedgrad and its highest peak Sljeme, which host Ski World Cup every year (from where you can capture beautiful video shots and pictures). Also have a lunch and taste the famous traditional local cuisine in one of the mountain homes (for example PD Runolist or PD Grafičar). I think you will enjoy it, and it is easy to get there by a local bus or with Uber... 2. Lake Jarun - South of the city centre is the Jarun lake also called "Zagreb Sea". With its cycle tracks, lakes for water sports and sports grounds for team sports, Jarun lake is the largest entertainment centre in Zagreb. Tram 17 will take you there. You can also drive through the park, cycle or rollerblade. 3. Maksimir Park & Zoo - A ten-minute tram ride from the main square heading east of the centre, these attractive 18 hectares (45 acres) of welcome greenery were opened to an appreciative public in 1794, the many woods, meadows and lakes landscaped in what was then considered the English style. Rolling hills cradle footpaths and cafés, providing ample room for jogging, romancing and relaxation. At one end you'll find the City Zoo, with the daily feeding times posted up for the seals, sea lions and otters, so that you can time a family visit around them. On the other side of the road stands Croatia's national football stadium, also called the Maksimir, base of home-town club Dinamo Zagreb.
My parents were born in southern Croatia, mom in Zadar and dad in Imotski but Zagreb is my favorite place to visit. What I love most is that its a big city but it has that small town feel to it as if everyone knows each other. People have already hit on other places in Zagreb to visit but one of my favorite things is something called "C'est is the best" which is a festival in center city Zagreb where street performers from all over the world come and entertain the locals, its an awesome event and I believe its usually held in June. It might sound a bit morbid but another interesting spot to visit is Mirogoj Cemetery, as weird as it sounds it almost feels like you're walking through a park and if you are a sports fan, you can visit the grave of one of our most famous athletes, Drazen Petrovic. The one thing I enjoy doing most is going to Ban Jelacic Square sitting down by one of the light poles closest to the water fountain and just people watch, during the warmer months, I will either take a walk or a jog and when I'm close to finishing, just sit there and listen to some music and watching the people and the trams go by then go back to where I'm staying while there.
My husband and I were just there and loved it! We're in Ljubljana now and appreciated all your tips on that city too. Such great undiscovered and charming cities.
We are currently in Bratislava traveling to Budapest on Friday overnight, then on to Zagreb for just 2 days! Thanks for your video it’s helped us so much on what to see!
Great video as always. I will be living three months in Zagreb this year. I like your slow outlook on travel. It has really helped me during my 17 months (and counting) of slow world travel.
I’m moving to Zagreb for the next 18 months and your guys’ videos have definitely helped me figure out what I want to see with all that time on my hands. Great content!
I’m glad I spent my 25 years in Croatia because of tasty food, sun/weather and crazy night life ofcourse🍷🥂 thank you Croatia for that❤️ what’s left for Croatia but tourism after all..
its a lovely list and i love the fact you loved my city so much :) what I would add is timing of the visit: 1. December - now it has become top time to visit zagreb because for the last couple of years our Christmas market is best in Europe - for the whole december the city center is beautifuly decorated and with a lot of venues for food and drinks and little gifts and different stages with live music and even a skating range near the main train station :) 2. Summer - july/august, typically months to go to the coast, have become lovely in zagreb too! so i think the best combination is to come to croatia at that time of the year and combine zagreb with some seaside destinations. Simiraly to the december christmas market there are lovely stages, live music, food and drinks (more on the summer note though) all over city center, from the main square and train station to the upper town locations - lovely way to spend summer afternoons and evenings with friends :)
@Daneger and Stacey - you can see some pictures here: december: justtakemeanywhere.com/why-everyone-should-visit-zagreb-in-december/ summer. www.croatiaweek.com/summer-in-zagreb-5-must-visit-events-in-august/ hope you like it! :)
We are retired and are seriously considering moving to Zagreb. Actually, my husband is there now to see if he could live abroad, and much of what you said is what he said as well: the food, the people, the walkability, he rated as tops. It was encouraging for me that you share his view. Makes me less anxious about the move. Thank you for a very educational video!
This review style vlog is a great concept and I think it is a feature that you should retain in the future. Knowing very little about that part of Europe, I have to say that your vlogs from Zagreb (skilfully summarised here) have put the city (and Croatia in general) on the map for me. I would not have included Zagreb on a list of potential destinations until I saw these vlogs. I would have been missing out on so much. So I think you can say that you are now providing a public service as well as keeping us all entertained! :)
We've only done one other like this on Chiang Mai and it seemed to constantly help people and gain views, figured we had some insight to share on Zagreb and went in for another! Public Service and Entertainment, we'll take that for sure :P
STRUKLI!!! Love Zagreb! Cant say enough about the city. Everything mentioned in this video is spot on. Inexpensive, lots to do, and a lively vibe. We were only there for 2 nights, and it was thrown into our itinerary as a place to fly into on our way to Plitvice. Wow! We were pleasantly surprised. I just love the city and hope to return soon.
Thank you for your videos on Croatia (all of them) they have helped me decide on my 2020 trip which will be a land based for nearly 3 weeks starting in Zagreb and finishing up in Dubrovnik. As much fun as your week on the cruise looked it helped me decide on the land based one as i will be travelling by myself. And all accom will be in the old towns for either 2 or 3 nights. thanks again love your videos.
Great Content guys , this is really helpful for every traveller . I love Zagreb , the centre is really beautiful and its just comfortable to walk there, cause the main square is so big and the streets around also. But what I like the most about Zagreb is the feeling when you are there .For me it has a special vibe , its just very peaceful and relaxed . Been in a lot of other city's which are even bigger and more popular , but I didn't have this certain feeling I feel in Zagreb.
I accidentally came across one of your videos just around the time you started posting them from Croatia. It feels like I know you for a long time. First, I've been following you for so many days now and second, you've spent so much time here. I can't believe how detailed you are and just how much space-time you've taken to immerse yourselves into a new and obviously favourable destination. Personally, I think one of the craziest things you've definitely missed out on so far is the skiing event that happens in early January on the hilltop above Zagreb. It used to be quite "wild" at times. The slalom ski race like none in the world cup. The only ski race that takes place literally on the edge of a city. It used to be more like a football game in a way. Additionally, the nutty (Herzegovina-born) Zagreb's mayor once organised a skiing event on the slope in front of the cathedral, down to Jelacic Square. The snow was collected on the mountain and brought to the city centre. Advent in Zagreb is usually quite charming. Also, I can't remember if you mentioned the Museum of Broken Relations, the coloured roof of St. Marks church + the Gric cannon which seems quite funny/odd :)
Glad you've been following along for awhile now! These skiing events sound incredible haha, love that they pulled some snow down into the main square as well - that sounds fairly dangerous!! We prefer to chase the sun, so most likely won't be back around advent time but does seem like Zagreb is the perfect spot at that time of year
to aswer your question, Yes I have changed or rather you changed my mind, we wanted to go to croatia I was thinin Dubrovnik, but now its 100% Zagreb. THX for good work guys.
Cool to hear you enjoyed - different style for us but our video from Chiang Mai of the same type has done great and helped lots of people, thought we'd do another :)
We have friends who lived in Zagreb and hope to go back and retire there one day, so seeing your Vlog and hearing your good report makes me really want to visit. However, I’m not sure what to think about your food report as we were in Krakow in September and went to the donut shop and even ate our donuts in the same park. My husband and I were SHOCKED that you gave them such rave reviews! We arrived early to be sure we got one and the owner was washing the windows and opened 15 minutes late. But we patiently waited...She finally opened...We actually thought you might never have had a REALLY GREAT tasting donut! Not only were they too greasy as you did say, but they didn’t have much of a flavor at all! And though the rose filling was tasty, the orange zest was missing. A disappointment for us for sure, but it satisfied our curiosity and we made our own evaluation. That said, you guys are darling and do a great job showing your travels and giving tips. Danger, your marriage proposal was AWESOME! Hope you share some wedding videos whenever that takes place! Keep sharing!
Oh Jill - that sounds like a bad experience! We genuinely loved ours, the dough was full of flavour and the flavours in the middle were so sweet. We've been craving them ever since... lots of locals commented though and told us they were supposed to be that greasy, not really to our taste, but didnt put us off too much. Maybe the early morning batch wasnt as nice then? Thats a shame either way. Thanks for your lovely comments anyway :)
well I could ramble on but over all yep love the pace the sites and the off track coms you do (my wife loves it as well ) (think more because of Danegar ) nothing you have done is not reachable for the people who have the energy to reach (young and old ) so happy travels and I hope many year off . I might not get there in body but you have taken me there in spirit . and yeah you guy too.
lol.....just upward the Slloser`s stairs and you ended up in hospital....and Faculty od medicine there....nice....next time I need to be your tourist guide.andI am buying a beer remember?cheers
We have just arrived in Zagreb and funnily enough we visited the same Strukli place that you went to today! SWe are going to be spending around 2 months in Croatia and only just planning out where to go. Thanks for all your insights, very handy!
Great good guys, you showed the real Zagreb which is very under rated, I only spent a day there which is a shame as my father has a non working farm in the slovenia town of brezice which is only 30 min drive to the centre of Zagreb, but we live in Melbourne so next time will spend more time there. Any way safe travels
Thank you for sharing this video! Croatia is amazing and we're excited to get there, hopefully someday soon! Zagreb is a city we have definitely considered and this video bumps it up to the top! Great coffee and awesome city walks are two of our favourite things to explore when we travel so Zagreb feels pretty much perfect! :)
Hey guys you have seen some beautiful places. Bookmark these places for your next visit. Google image them Plitvice Lakes and Krka Falls, Varazdin and Trakoscan castle, Rovinj, Opatilja, Motovun, Groznjan, Mali Losinj, Sibenik, Town of Betina on island Murter and Kornati archipelago. Solaris beach and nearby Primosten. And Two more awesome islands Cres and Rab.
Great exploration of this city that my family & I will soon be living in for 3 months. Thank u! U touch on elements that are important to us. And, i can well imagine so many more surprises. 🧡
I'm just looking for a job in that part of the world, teaching. Croatia, and Zagreb in particular is one of my 4-5 choices, but it does look really good: Great location, infrastructure, food, nature and people.. and you just introduced the craft beer to me! Slovenia being a weekend trip away is great too. Thanks for the intro
We are headed to Zagreb in March. How feasible is it for us to rent a car and drive to Slovenia and other surrounding countries? (Noted in the video that y'all took the bus there one weekend...)
Good to know. Thanks for replying! As we begin charting our course, do you have some top favorites--in Croatia or Slovenia or southeastward--that we should definitely check out? Any help you can offer us is greatly appreciated! :-)
Looks like Autumn when you were in Zagreb? I’m planning a Sail-Croatia cruise October 3-11 I hope air and water still warm. I’d like to travel Croatia perhaps Slovenia some before cruise
You have actually been in one of the most beautiful and most expencive residential areas of the city (where lots of diplomats and other wealthy folks live). Strange you got scared ;))
I know this is a pretty belated comment and I am not sure you are ever going to see it, but... OMG! I come from Zagreb! Now living in Rinteln (near Hannover in Germany), and I felt so homesick watching your Croatian videos! Apologize my English, not my mother tongue. As I said, grew up in Zagreb, but spent every family vacation in Zadar. I am currently at home watching my little one (poor one, he's got some kind of flu - he is now 4, but born at 26 pregnancy weeks and has some issues, so we have to be careful), and I was watching your videos, and was like... I'd like to go there and show them what they've missed! :) I haven't yet seen a video of you being to Nin, which is (like Starigrad) one of the oldest cities around here, they have the "allegedly" oldest (mini) church", and some awesome natural saltworks (seawater based), where you can buy anything from fancy cooking salt to bathing salts. (If you've been there and I missed it, I apologize!) Either way, thank you for enabling me to see bits of my homeland. We will be coming to visit the grandparents soon and are now looking forward to it more than ever! You lifted my mood!
Awesome videos, thanks guys! Just wondering if you got to the Plitvice Lakes or Krka national park? We may have to choose between one day in Zagreb or Plitvice due to our limited time!
Hey Nick - we didn't actually make it to either. We went to Slovenia on our weekend trip because we were doing Sail Croatia after Zagreb and visiting the Miljet National Park instead. Tough choice though!
Ah true! We are also doing a cruise but with Katarina line in May as they fitted our dates/route. I really hope they can provide a similar experience to sail Croatia!
Hey guys great video and glad you’ve enjoyed my home city :) fyi that scary place up the stairs is the poshest place of old Zagreb, it is called Šalata (I guess you’ve figured it out by now) in fact you were inside Medical Faculty park, probably in front of Department of Dermatology 😊 my fav place for long afterwork covid walks! 😊
Thanks for the context! It was just the weather and the fact we had no idea where we were that made it feel a little creepy but once we figured that out we enjoyed the greenery!
As we've already told you, we are headed to Croatia in March and want to explore the old war tunnels. You said you didn't get to see them, but do you have any more information for us about them/how to get there? Do you think it could make for a good travel vlog?
Sorry guys - we didnt really research far enough to figure out the best way to see them etc. Hopefully its easy to figure out and you can check them out.
How did you guys get along linguistically (what a word..) in Croatia? I went there in early 2000s as a kid and everyone spoke either German or Italian. No inglese.. Just wondered if anything changed since then.
Serbinovo is Roman Serbinon on the river Savus,read in Ptolemy’s Geography from the 2nd century, there is mention of (and it is also indicated on a map) a place named Serbinon or Serbinum.
@@MrSERBON Serbinum, also known as Servitium or Servicium, was an ancient Roman city in the province of Pannonia. It was situated in the location of present-day Gradiška in northern Bosnia and Herzegovina. In Ptolemy’s Geography from the 2nd century, there is mention of (and it is also indicated on a map) a place named Serbinon or Serbinum (This place was located under mountains Biblia ore or Biblini montes or Beby m. which are actually Kozara and Grmeč, according to Hungarian scientists). All mentioned forms of the name (including Serbinon, Serbinum, Servitium, Seruitio, Servitii, and Serbitium) refer to a single place, which is identified as present-day Gradiška. In Roman times, the Municipium Servicium was an important crossroad between the east and the south of the Balkans, i.e. a port for the Roman river fleet, which speaks for itself about the strategic importance of the settlement at the time. So? You see? Zagreb was never called Serbinovo!
@@MrSERBON Ako imalo znaš zemljopis pogledaj tu kartu koju spominješ i vidjet ćeš da to nije Zagreb! Isto tako naziv toga mjesta nema nikakve veze sa srbima, postojao je puno prije dolaska Slavena na ovom području i nestao dolaskom Slavena!
@gibanica Yugoslavia broke apart 26 years ago.. There no wars around Croatia 18+ years only heat place is Kosovo, ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosovo ) but if you go there, if you not talk about politics nobody will not pay attention on you

Did u visit Belgrade?
I love yours V-Blogs...
But don't leave Zagreb before exploring 3 more places...
1. Medvednica, the nature park situated north of the Zagreb. This beautiful place is famous for castle Medvedgrad and its highest peak Sljeme, which host Ski World Cup every year (from where you can capture beautiful video shots and pictures). Also have a lunch and taste the famous traditional local cuisine in one of the mountain homes (for example PD Runolist or PD Grafičar). I think you will enjoy it, and it is easy to get there by a local bus or with Uber...
2. Lake Jarun - South of the city centre is the Jarun lake also called "Zagreb Sea". With its cycle tracks, lakes for water sports and sports grounds for team sports, Jarun lake is the largest entertainment centre in Zagreb. Tram 17 will take you there. You can also drive through the park, cycle or rollerblade.
3. Maksimir Park & Zoo - A ten-minute tram ride from the main square heading east of the centre, these attractive 18 hectares (45 acres) of welcome greenery were opened to an appreciative public in 1794, the many woods, meadows and lakes landscaped in what was then considered the English style. Rolling hills cradle footpaths and cafés, providing ample room for jogging, romancing and relaxation. At one end you'll find the City Zoo, with the daily feeding times posted up for the seals, sea lions and otters, so that you can time a family visit around them. On the other side of the road stands Croatia's national football stadium, also called the Maksimir, base of home-town club Dinamo Zagreb.
Thanks for the insight! Hopefully some peeps about to visit will read this and follow your advice
Only maksimir is worth of visit for a day.
My parents were born in southern Croatia, mom in Zadar and dad in Imotski but Zagreb is my favorite place to visit. What I love most is that its a big city but it has that small town feel to it as if everyone knows each other. People have already hit on other places in Zagreb to visit but one of my favorite things is something called "C'est is the best" which is a festival in center city Zagreb where street performers from all over the world come and entertain the locals, its an awesome event and I believe its usually held in June.
It might sound a bit morbid but another interesting spot to visit is Mirogoj Cemetery, as weird as it sounds it almost feels like you're walking through a park and if you are a sports fan, you can visit the grave of one of our most famous athletes, Drazen Petrovic.
The one thing I enjoy doing most is going to Ban Jelacic Square sitting down by one of the light poles closest to the water fountain and just people watch, during the warmer months, I will either take a walk or a jog and when I'm close to finishing, just sit there and listen to some music and watching the people and the trams go by then go back to where I'm staying while there.
Advent in Zagreb is something special!!
My husband and I were just there and loved it! We're in Ljubljana now and appreciated all your tips on that city too. Such great undiscovered and charming cities.
Awesome - sounds like you guys have great taste :P
we've got a series on our channel portraying zagreb and life in it from within it's underground
Loved the whole Croatia series and glad you enjoyed it here.
We LOVED it - some of our fav videos and expriences :)
we've got a series on our channel portraying zagreb and life in it from within it's underground
Great analysis guys! Loving your reviews! Its great to see you guys like Zagreb so much :)
Thank you!
Arriving in Zagreb November 5th for 3 nights. Thanks for all the insights to the city.
No worries - have a great trip!
The park where u got scared is a medical complex with one of the newer building being the medical college. And others different hospitals.
So its probably not that scary when theres people around haha?
it is just one hospital bro....but many clinics....the best one is Secretary for the dead...( patology)...hehehehe
We are currently in Bratislava traveling to Budapest on Friday overnight, then on to Zagreb for just 2 days! Thanks for your video it’s helped us so much on what to see!
Glad to hear guys - hope you love it!
museum of broken relationships!! Best museum in the world - I laughed, I cried, I won't forget. :)
Really wish we had gone, sad we missed it!
Great video as always. I will be living three months in Zagreb this year. I like your slow outlook on travel. It has really helped me during my 17 months (and counting) of slow world travel.
Hope you have an awesome time
I’m moving to Zagreb for the next 18 months and your guys’ videos have definitely helped me figure out what I want to see with all that time on my hands. Great content!
That's awesome! Good luck with the move, hope you love Zagreb!

Gotta say I loved this series, we should really get more tourists like you two! Greetings from Zagreb!
Thanks for all the awesome comments!

I remember that football game. That was wild with the fire. There's awesome stuff to experience in Zagreb
One of your best videos yet. Love this Top 10, actually 9 reasons format with the voiceover. :-)

awesome review !!!
Thanks!
I'm seeing a whole lot of beer and not much gym'ing in these episodes. 😂😍 Živjeli / Nazdravlje!
Haha we did gym 2 or 3 times a week in Zagreb luckily, need it to offset the drinking
"nazdravlje" is said when somebody sneezes. it's like saying "bless you"
Zagreb isn't on our itinerary for when we go to Croatia, but after your vlogs I feel like it should be
It should be!
Great info, well summarised video... :)
Will definitely use info from you when I go to Croatia (hopefully soon)... ;)
Hopefully soon - we wish that for ya as well!
another great info video thanks gang ,would love the beer .oh and course the food and site seeing -beer .
That's everything then huh?! You'd love allll of it! (us also) 🍻

Haha it was fun exploring random areas and going into strange areas with no people!!
We have just arrived in Zagreb and funnily enough we visited the same Strukli place that you went to today! SWe are going to be spending around 2 months in Croatia and only just planning out where to go. Thanks for all your insights, very handy!
Have fun! We're a bit envious guys, wish we could be over there exploring - enjoy
Don't forget about stopping by the museum of broken relationships.
You two are amazing! Loving these videos!
We're loving your comments, thanks for digging into some of the older videos as well :)
Great video, accurate and thanks for not having loud horrible music, ill watch more of your stuff. Well done.
Haha thanks. Lots of our videos still have music you might not like, but we're moving away from that kind of 'canned' approach.
I'm going to Zagreb next month, this video is very helpful!
Have fun!
Excellent video ^_^ yay haha
Great good guys, you showed the real Zagreb which is very under rated, I only spent a day there which is a shame as my father has a non working farm in the slovenia town of brezice which is only 30 min drive to the centre of Zagreb, but we live in Melbourne so next time will spend more time there. Any way safe travels
Glad you've at least had a taste then! Cool place for sure, next time you know to stay a few more days then 🙏🏼
Really nice video! Thanks! Must go back to taste the craft beer you showed us :) we missed it
The fruit liquor was a highlight for me! Also, the kumquats in the markets were to die for!
So much goodness!
Heading there this July! Thank you, this video was super helpful!
Glad to help - hope you love it
thank you Stasy not abiut blog........but you guys showed me my house after all this time,thak you and never stop
Welcime to Croatia!🇭🇷
Thank you for sharing this video! Croatia is amazing and we're excited to get there, hopefully someday soon! Zagreb is a city we have definitely considered and this video bumps it up to the top! Great coffee and awesome city walks are two of our favourite things to explore when we travel so Zagreb feels pretty much perfect! :)
Sounds like Zagreb will tick all the boxes for you guys then - hope you can get there soon and see it!
Daneger and Stacey Thanks guys! We will make sure that we do. :)
Thank you !!
visit Zagreb in winter. One of the best places to go at that time.
We've heard the Xmas markets are stunning!
Yayyyyy! Happy Wednesdayyyyyy!!!!
Happy Wednesday! See you on Friday :)
Will you be coming back to Croatia ?
Definitely! Not this year, but next year we will visit the coast again and around Montenegro etc also
Hey guys you have seen some beautiful places. Bookmark these places for your next visit. Google image them Plitvice Lakes and Krka Falls, Varazdin and Trakoscan castle, Rovinj, Opatilja, Motovun, Groznjan, Mali Losinj, Sibenik, Town of Betina on island Murter and Kornati archipelago. Solaris beach and nearby Primosten. And Two more awesome islands Cres and Rab.
Zagreb loves you, dear Kiwis! :o)
(I understand "Kiwi" is a term of endearment?)
Yup Kiwis is what we're known as, it's cool by us :) Thanks for the support!
from El Nido to Zagreb.. you two are my favorite travel youtubers. ❤️
❤️
Great exploration of this city that my family & I will soon be living in for 3 months. Thank u! U touch on elements that are important to us. And, i can well imagine so many more surprises. 🧡
You're gonna love it Katherine!
I'm just looking for a job in that part of the world, teaching. Croatia, and Zagreb in particular is one of my 4-5 choices, but it does look really good: Great location, infrastructure, food, nature and people.. and you just introduced the craft beer to me! Slovenia being a weekend trip away is great too. Thanks for the intro
That's awesome! All the best with the job hunt :)
@@DanegerAndStacey thanks mucho 😊
EXCELLENT VIDEO AND COMENTRY!
Thank you kindly!
Did a great job showcasing the city.
Thank you 😊
I've been in Zagreb 100 times becuse is next to my town
Cool place!
Love you guys all the way from Kenya.
Stace am still waiting for your skin care routine babe .😍
Cheers!
Thanks for this. Getting ready to go to Zagreb for at least a year on a “digital nomad” visa. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
That's so exciting! Good luck for your new adventure
We are headed to Zagreb in March. How feasible is it for us to rent a car and drive to Slovenia and other surrounding countries? (Noted in the video that y'all took the bus there one weekend...)
Very feasible, but you just need to declare it to the car rental company and you'll likely incur extra fees for doing it.
Good to know. Thanks for replying! As we begin charting our course, do you have some top favorites--in Croatia or Slovenia or southeastward--that we should definitely check out? Any help you can offer us is greatly appreciated! :-)
❤❤
Loved Dubrovnik, still lots more to see, FARK off Covid so I can enjoy
Couldn't agree more!
We arrived in Zagreb last night. Will give your sugar try.
Please don't say Zagreb is cheap, because our Government will raise the prices. Btw, I'm watching you at 5:00am #WTF 😂🔥😐
Ahhh hopefully not!!
Looks like Autumn when you were in Zagreb? I’m planning a Sail-Croatia cruise October 3-11 I hope air and water still warm. I’d like to travel Croatia perhaps Slovenia some before cruise
We were there before we did our Sail Croatia trip - from memory about August/Sept and it was still quite hot.
Lovely place to visit
It really is!
❤ Thanks for nice video
Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Great guide guys 😊
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you :)
Heading to Split for a month in August and then onto Zagreb for 2 months. I'm hoping to get my digital nomad visa so I can stay for a year
That sounds awesome! Good luck with everything 😊 Happy travels
Nice presentation
Thank you!
I live in Zagreb and iv'e never seen those stairs in my life. :)
⬆️Šalata!
Haha dont walk up, its scary :P
You have actually been in one of the most beautiful and most expencive residential areas of the city (where lots of diplomats and other wealthy folks live). Strange you got scared ;))
I know this is a pretty belated comment and I am not sure you are ever going to see it, but...
OMG!
I come from Zagreb! Now living in Rinteln (near Hannover in Germany), and I felt so homesick watching your Croatian videos!
Apologize my English, not my mother tongue.
As I said, grew up in Zagreb, but spent every family vacation in Zadar. I am currently at home watching my little one (poor one, he's got some kind of flu - he is now 4, but born at 26 pregnancy weeks and has some issues, so we have to be careful), and I was watching your videos, and was like... I'd like to go there and show them what they've missed! :)
I haven't yet seen a video of you being to Nin, which is (like Starigrad) one of the oldest cities around here, they have the "allegedly" oldest (mini) church", and some awesome natural saltworks (seawater based), where you can buy anything from fancy cooking salt to bathing salts. (If you've been there and I missed it, I apologize!)
Either way, thank you for enabling me to see bits of my homeland. We will be coming to visit the grandparents soon and are now looking forward to it more than ever! You lifted my mood!
We've seen it and we love it. Glad you enjoyed watching!
Looks like a cleaner version of lisbon
Awesome videos, thanks guys! Just wondering if you got to the Plitvice Lakes or Krka national park? We may have to choose between one day in Zagreb or Plitvice due to our limited time!
Hey Nick - we didn't actually make it to either. We went to Slovenia on our weekend trip because we were doing Sail Croatia after Zagreb and visiting the Miljet National Park instead. Tough choice though!
Ah true! We are also doing a cruise but with Katarina line in May as they fitted our dates/route. I really hope they can provide a similar experience to sail Croatia!
Hey guys great video and glad you’ve enjoyed my home city :) fyi that scary place up the stairs is the poshest place of old Zagreb, it is called Šalata (I guess you’ve figured it out by now) in fact you were inside Medical Faculty park, probably in front of Department of Dermatology 😊 my fav place for long afterwork covid walks! 😊
Thanks for the context! It was just the weather and the fact we had no idea where we were that made it feel a little creepy but once we figured that out we enjoyed the greenery!
Dinamo B.B.B hehe super !!!
I will be travelling solo in October. Do enough people speak English to help in case of need?
For the most part, yup. In particular younger generation speaks great English and a lot of service staff
As we've already told you, we are headed to Croatia in March and want to explore the old war tunnels. You said you didn't get to see them, but do you have any more information for us about them/how to get there? Do you think it could make for a good travel vlog?
Sorry guys - we didnt really research far enough to figure out the best way to see them etc. Hopefully its easy to figure out and you can check them out.
No problem... Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it :) did you feel safe, did you have any safety related uncomfortable experiences?
We felt incredibly safe, no issues for us thankfully!
Haha your walk game took a dark turn. -Shawna🍁
How did you guys get along linguistically (what a word..) in Croatia? I went there in early 2000s as a kid and everyone spoke either German or Italian. No inglese.. Just wondered if anything changed since then.
I’m from Zagreb
Hey
Are you guys going to do a podcast at some point?!
We'd honestly never considered it!
It's basically the only thing you're not doing at this point!
07:12 That moment when you realize Coffee in Croatia 🇭🇷 is a product of Mexico 🇲🇽 .. 🤣 Imagine if one of the reasons to visit is Coffee☕️ .. 🤣
HAHA
Just stand in the middle of the city and enyoj the beautiful girls !!!
so much beer and no regrets about it?
Zero regrets :)
and will you visit Faroe islands? They are stunning- and no tourists! Like a Paradise for you two :)
I bet you didn't know that Zagreb was called Serbinovo in the first place.👍
Zagreb was never called serbinovo!
Serbinovo is Roman Serbinon on the river Savus,read in Ptolemy’s Geography from the 2nd century, there is mention of (and it is also indicated on a map) a place named Serbinon or Serbinum.
@@MrSERBON Serbinum, also known as Servitium or Servicium, was an ancient Roman city in the province of Pannonia. It was situated in the location of present-day Gradiška in northern Bosnia and Herzegovina. In Ptolemy’s Geography from the 2nd century, there is mention of (and it is also indicated on a map) a place named Serbinon or Serbinum (This place was located under mountains Biblia ore or Biblini montes or Beby m. which are actually Kozara and Grmeč, according to Hungarian scientists). All mentioned forms of the name (including Serbinon, Serbinum, Servitium, Seruitio, Servitii, and Serbitium) refer to a single place, which is identified as present-day Gradiška. In Roman times, the Municipium Servicium was an important crossroad between the east and the south of the Balkans, i.e. a port for the Roman river fleet, which speaks for itself about the strategic importance of the settlement at the time. So? You see? Zagreb was never called Serbinovo!
@@MrSERBON Ako imalo znaš zemljopis pogledaj tu kartu koju spominješ i vidjet ćeš da to nije Zagreb! Isto tako naziv toga mjesta nema nikakve veze sa srbima, postojao je puno prije dolaska Slavena na ovom području i nestao dolaskom Slavena!
@@MrSERBON O da! Još jedan podatak! Stari Zagreb nije na Balkanu!
capital city of Bosnia and hercegovmas
Come on in serbia
We will! Next year though, heard amazing things
Croatia isnt east europe
First
Champion 🏆
Hailgreb niggah is how I heard about it
And no parking….
Is there still a war in Yugoslavia, is it safe?
Completely safe - Croatians are amazing people!
@gibanica
Yugoslavia broke apart 26 years ago..
There no wars around Croatia 18+ years
only heat place is Kosovo, ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosovo ) but if you go there, if you not talk about politics nobody will not pay attention on you
@Tin Garaus ok thanks but Im still aware about the landmines.
