Big thanks to all the awesome people in Zagreb who made us feel at home for the last month!
about the train web page...you were actually on the main bus station page, no trains .... next time maybe translate the page and avoid confusion. cheers.
@@Hope-sf3dk Thanks for the tip!
Hvala, from Zagreb👏👍
Hvala! Thanks for watching
Im from Zagreb and I am plan eater and I disagree with lack of options 😅 also you mentioned Zagreb is small town when fact is that its bigger then NY city. It’s one of the biggest cities in Europe by km2
What are you crazy? New York is almost as the entire country of Croatia... Bro
The airport transportation shuttle leads to the main bus terminal, which has a tram stop in front of it, where you can use a tram to be in the centre in 6-8 minutes (line #6 Črnomerec). But yeah, there were plans to build a tram line 11 kms long to the airport (over Domovinski bridge via Radnička & Heinzelova street to Kvaternik square), which is imo dumb when you have existing in-use railway tracks within 3 kms of the airport, which means you could run a train directly from the airport to the main train terminal on King Tomislav square, the very centre of Zagreb.
Regarding Sundays, usually the stores would close a bit earlier, with some museums working in the afternoon, but malls would be open. However, in 2023., the government pushed through a bill to ban working on Sundays, with store owners having to pick 16 Sundays every year which are going to be workdays. That's why now, if you want to go to a mall on a Sunday, you have to check which one is open on that specific Sunday. With the exception of stores in major transport terminals, ports, marinas, camps, gas stations, hospitals, hotels, cultural and religious institutions and museums. There was a 0-24 store in Savica neighborhood before, but in 2023 due to the new law they now work 8-23. So if you need something asap on a Sunday, hope to find it at a gas station.
great

Thank
You!
hey man, love the video. did you had any trouble with the lenguage? i mean do the nationals know english in general?
Thanks for watching! I didn't have much of an issue at all. Most locals speak at least some level of english and I found everyone to be very welcoming and patient when it came to communicating. Overall, you should be just fine :)
Everyone knows English, its not like Italy or France..
Croatians talk load and to much, and that can be tiring if you like to take sometime to think and look around. 😂
Nothing works in Zagreb. Full of graffiti, public transport is horrible, facades are not painted, no cool modern-old redone places, not a place for cycling, cars parked everywhere, etc...
Definitely some challenges but we loved our time in Zagreb! Thanks for watching :)
We are catholic country and that's why most things are closed on Sunday.
Makes sense! Thanks for watching
Having lived in Zagreb for almost four months now, I generally agree (although I’ve never had a problem getting an Uber). The best thing here are the people. My biggest gripe is the graffiti. It’s everywhere, and it’s not artsy. I’t just ugly and it detracts from much of the great architecture. I lived in Prague for several months last year and, by contrast, Prague’s old town has very little graffiti.
Yeah I only had issues with Uber from the airport but otherwise it was always available. And yes, it's hard not to notice the graffiti. I'm pretty used to it coming from Chicago haha. Thanks for watching!
Tha graffiti came from uncivilized Croatian idiots who don't have love for their country. And most where made in the 90ies. I would love to start a movement to erase them slowly. (Erese the graffiti)
Agree, Prague is very clean and classy looking which I love
Yeah its the stupid teen vandals
You gotta take into account that Zagreb was hit by a strong earthquake in 2020. Not California or Japan level strong, but Zagreb is near a fault line and there is a general estimate a strong earthquake will hit somewhere in Croatia every 45 years. Most buildings in Zagreb city centre are 100+ years old and a lot of money was invested in reconstruction, so they probably had to relocate funds from grafitti cleaning. There is actually a long grafitti wall in Branimirova street, which were cool grafittis (you can see them in 2011 google street view), but sadly they were tagged over in the meantime. But Zagreb also has a cool street art scene (just google image search "zagreb street art")
Bro said Zagreb is a small town💀☠️☠️☠️ its a big city, not as big as NY, but still big
Zagreb is small town compared to NYC or Los Angeles but it is metropolis compared to rest of croatia.
(I am not from Zagreb)
I have been travelling from London to Zagreb for over 20 years now. NEVER have I waited for an uber for longer than 5 mins from the Airport...
Glad to hear that!
In Zadar old town, only half of the shops are open on Sunday. The rest is closed. Most attend church. It’s a bit old European
100% haha. Thanks for watching!
Your videos are the perfect length but filled with tons of very useful information.
Aw, thank you! I appreciate the support :)
Thank you for the info. But I have a remark, in your video you showed Turkish markets and you are saying Zagreb!! The man handed 5 Turkish liras to the seller in the video :)))
Ahhhh!!! Great catch :) Sorry for my screw up there
Thank you for nice video. All you've said is correct. Wellcome to Zagreb again.
Much appreciated :)
Great 5 min pros and cons.
Love the content and your energy
Much appreciated
I’d like to see some of your personal interactions with the locals
We can make that happen!
Could you please tell me the name of the stew in the video (2:52)? Where can I find a good version of it?
I'm not sure what the stew is called but there's a chef who prepares a meal from scratch twice a week (this was one of his dishes). I'm pretty sure you can find him on Tuesdays and Fridays outside a place called "Cheese Bar." I provide a bit more detail in my '10 things to do in Zagreb' video around the 6:13 marker. Hope that helps!
@@camdendavid Thank you so much. I will see your video soon! Cheers :)
It's some sort of goulash (gulaš), originally of Hungarian origin but Croats in the north & east eat it. There are countless variations on this sort of dish.
my mother made Hungarian goulash when I was a kid. Looks delicious@@Ivan-fm4eh
We took Uber to the city center
Nice! We tried twice but none were available at the time. Glad you were able to get one!
Loved the finance stuff of course, but loving the new direction of the channel!
Thanks Holden! It's great to hear from you
Algorithm

Dobrodošli ! Zagreb u ❤️ !
One of my favorites :)
Zagrebačkim ulicama...
It's nice to hear how much you enjoyed in Zagreb....and I agree - the transportation is terrible. That's why we have two cars.
Thanks so much Sandra :) Luckily everything else in Zagreb makes up for the transportation woes
@@camdendavid airport is not well conneced, but once you are Near Center of city I think transportation is good.
@@jakovcu Couldn't agree more!
Transport is fire🔥🔥🔥, Ljubljana dont even have trams
Loved every minute in Croatia!! Beautiful country!
Crazy beautiful
