Flights to Croatia are one of the most sought after terms when researching how to reach Croatia. As more and more carriers are flying directly to Croatia, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get proper information and to find the easiest way to (and out of) Croatia. From the main airports to several smaller, and…

Stari Fijaker 900 Restaurant – Zagreb
Zagreb has many great restaurants and it is easy to find nice place with great food. Many are modern and quite inovative but most still play it safe with either “Italian” menus or classic Croatian restaurant menus offering same octopus salad, pršut and cheese, few pasta dishes, few variations of steaks… Boring. But, in Zagreb, one can…
Zagreb Zoo – for children and nature lovers
Every autumn, we try to visit Zagreb ZOO. It is probably the best time to visit this beautiful park although it is pretty in all seasons. It is located in the famous city park Maksimir and opened to general public since 1925. Maksimir was named after bishop Maksimilijan Vrhovec who initiated the construction of the…
Zagreb Wine Gourmet Weekend 2012
Zagreb Wine Gourmet Weekend is one of my favorite wine and food shows in Croatia. A great opportunity to see and learn about new trends, wines, olive oils and food but also to meet some old friends and make some new ones. This year, ZWG was held at wonderful settings of the old Glyptotheque of…
Restaurant Week
Since the new “Restaurant Week” is just around the corner, I thought of posting few photos from the last one – from this past fall – when we visited two restaurants in Zagreb. Although “Restaurant Week ” is national event, Zagreb has the most interesting participants and it is quite fun to explore some restaurants…
Bistro Bardot, Zagreb
Tucked in one of the small gardens in the very heart of Zagreb, Bistro Bardot is a recently opened oasis of French cuisine (and wines) in our capital city.

Museum of Broken Relationships, Zagreb
It is official: the BEST museum in the World is in Zagreb! It is the most awesome Museum of Broken Relationships and I finally got to visit! I have to say that I have been a fan of the very idea as soon as I heard of it as it is simply brilliant. And the…
Eating out in Zagreb
Unlike here in Dalmatia, Zagreb has a great offer of international restaurants. From Indian to Chinese, pasta to sushi… But, of all international cuisines, Thai food has been my favorite for a long time. Last time in Zagreb we decided to go to Opium oriental bar for some Thai tastes. Opium is located in Branimir…
Sunday’s Antique Fair in Zagreb
One of the places that I visit almost every time when in Zagreb is the wonderful antique/flea fair held every Sunday on Britanski trg square or, popularly called, Britanac. This is one of those beautiful, historic squares in old part of Zagreb that provides a perfect setting for this type of fair. The day was…
Best Croatian wines – Korak
For the past few days I was in Zagreb doing some inspections and meeting friends and partners. That time a year… Although I had a fairly planned schedule and knew what I was to expect, I was not prepared for Korak wines. I have to admit that my general knowledge of Croatian wines is limited…
