Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, has a special significance for me. It is said that if you ask the Universe a question, it does respond with an answer. And, it was in this beautiful old town that I asked the Universe for a certain sign and a message and the Universe gave me an answer! So, now you can imagine my fondness for the city, but more about that later.

Dubravkin put
The pleasant promenade that connects Cmrok and Ilica is ideal for walking, cycling and jogging. Quiet and wooded, this trail was once called Sofia s Way, after Ban Jelačić s wife, and over time it has definitely not lost its charm. Moreover, it has become one of the most pleasant tame routes in Zagreb.
Jelenovac
Jelenovac is 15 minutes’ walk from Ilica and located on the southern slopes of Mount Medvednica, and is surrounded by dense forest. Along the Jelenovac stream there is a pleasant promenade which slowly climbs through the forest to the street Jelenovačkivrh, where it is best to continue to the right towards Jelenovac. It’s real oasis of peace and ideal for walking with children.
25 Wonderful Things to Do in Zagreb, Croatia
(Last Updated On: 15/02/2021)
Zagreb (Croatia), together with Ljubljana (Slovenia), was the first city I’ve ever visited in the Balkans, some twenty years ago.
Back then I didn’t know much about things to do in Zagreb and I remember how pleasantly surprised I was – the grand architecture from the Habsburg times and the city’s vibe made me fell for the place right away. I felt this must be one of the best hidden gems in Europe back then.
Since then I was lucky to visit Zagreb many more times. It was either a short stop during my travels (like my flight to New Zealand was from there) or a city break destination itself when I could enjoy Zagreb attractions.
