Zagreb Travel Blogs

Background: The lands that today comprise Croatia were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the close of World War I. In 1918, the Croats, Serbs, and Slovenes formed a kingdom known after 1929 as Yugoslavia. Following World War II, Yugoslavia became a federal independent Communist state under the strong hand of Marshal TITO. Although Croatia declared its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, it took four years of sporadic, but often bitter, fighting before occupying Serb armies were mostly cleared from Croatian lands. Under UN supervision, the last Serb-held enclave in eastern Slavonia was returned to Croatia in 1998.

Our spontaneous decision to head into Zagreb was fueled by the chance to experience U2 in this unique setting as well as an interest of seeing more of this incredible country that really is catching us a bit by surprise. We had thought most of our enjoyment would be along the coast but this venture inland has been wonderful. The country (or at least the city of Zagreb) has truly been captured by the U2 visit. The whole city is buzzing and accommodation is non-existent. The two concerts back to back meant that on the 9th and 10th there was not [View Full Entry]

THE DAY I WENT VENICIAN BLIND - Tuesday Since I've posted twice today, I would catch up with the bit about Milan before catching this one. Turns out, Venice is a pretty awesome city to walk around in. And it would have behooved me to buy a map.... it is waaaay too easy to get lost scooting around those narrow windy passageways. Although, had I not been lost 92% of the time, I wouldn't have found a super cheap art supply store. 3 euro got me a pair of scissors and a roll of packaging tape. It was most certainly on [View Full Entry]

Zagreb I Europe » Croatia » Central Croatia » Zagreb
We left Optija after talking a bit with Davor...and stopped for lunch in Karlovac. We ate at McDonald's and then met Domagoj at the toll area in Zagreb so he could take us to the hotel. We checked in and then went down to Jelacic Square to do some shopping. We also met Domagoj, Martina, Lea and Luka. Domagoj called Drazen Petrovic's mom to see if we could get into his museum since it is closed for the summer and she arranged someone to meet us there. We got a tour of the museum, which was amazing, and we bought a [View Full Entry]

Medvedgrad Europe » Croatia » Central Croatia » Zagreb
Another day trip was to Medvedgrad. Not exactly far from Zagreb, the town is easily accessed by a quick bus ride and maybe 20 minutes of hiking. It is placed on the mountain that towers over Zagreb called Medvednica. Medvegrad (built in the 1250’s) was used as a castle to protect the kings and queens of Croatia during the middle ages. One popular story, orated to me by Ivana is of Queen Jelena (Yelena). During her reign the Turks were attacking Zagreb and legend says that in order to save Zagreb she sold her soul to the Devil. The only way [View Full Entry]

We left Tucepi at around 9:15 this morning and after about 40 minutes on the scariest road I have ever been on through the Croatian mountainside with hairpin turns and 90 degree rock faces looking straight down at the water we reached the A1 highway - a most welcome sight. With a "speed limit" of 130 we were in Zagreb in no time (once my nuckles recovered from the climb up the mountain). This is just a short stop - we will go out for a walk about and dinner and then tomorrow morning off on the train to Budapest. [View Full Entry]

Today started out as hot or hotter than yesterday but the trick was to get going early. We were out by 8:30 and had 5 good hours of touring done before the sweltering midday sun got to a point where us mere mortals couldn't handle it. (People here are dressed in jeans and leggings and even long sleeve shirts believe it or not! The temperature in the main square at 9 pm read 28 degrees so I can only imagine what it was at noon today! ). All that said, the mornings and late evenings are great and we took full [View Full Entry]

After leaving Sarajevo we headed up to Zagreb for a few days. We’re trying to make it a bit closer towards the top of Eastern Europe (i.e. Hungary & Poland), before our InterRail tickets run out, which sadly means we'll have to give the Croatian coast a miss this time. The train was an older train. Air-con came in the form of opening the window in the carriage and then opening the window in the carriage hallway, and trying to create a wind tunnel though the train!! I learned that trick on the previous train by watching this old guy! However, [View Full Entry]

Feeling small for once!
On guard at the tie shop!

Woke up suddenly and it was 830!!!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa i totally missed that alarm at 515am. Didnt even hear it at all. OH well i slept in a bit more and planned to catch the next train at 230. The girl guides had even got up and out of the room. The Swiss guys must have been out hella late because I didnt see them untill the morning passed out of it. Got up and took my time knowing that the train wasnt untill 230. I had to be out of the hostel at 10 though and it was getting pretty close [View Full Entry]
