Just around the corner from the apartment, this place is dog-friendly with a great menu. Not very vegan-friendly, but I always find something to eat.

If you want to taste authentic Croatian dishes but with a twist, this is the place to go. It's located in the upper town with a beautiful terrace next to St.Catherine's church and world-famous Museum of Broken Relationships.

Another dog-friendly place with good food and sometimes good vegan / vegetarian options. I usually go there for a good glass of wine and some vegan tapas.

Another place I love to enjoy a coffee, tea or a glass of wine. You can walk to it via Ilica (main street) or take a scenic route via Upper town - through the park (turn right when you enter) Google will give you this route as an alternative.

Explore...

Now a world-famous museum with pop-ups around the globe and a new Broken Relationships museum in Los Angeles was first opened here in Zagreb and by a good friend of mine. Not much to say but, it's a must. Enjoy a coffee, fresh juice or a glass of wine after on the terrace.

Zagreb is very green; big parks and forests are interwoven into the city and close to the center. you can walk up from Dezmanov prolaz straight to Dubravkin put (great for jogging as well) all the way up to Cmrok meadow. Or turn to Tuskanac park forest, Rokov perivoj etc. ​

Farmers market with fresh produce just over the main square. Tip: if you're buying veg go downstairs all the way to the end (away from the main enterance). If not, walk around in the upper platform enjoying the local atmosphere.

Have a drink

If you like authentic, no better place than Krolo on Radiceva street. Sometimes it feels like it's frozen in the '80s and that's what I love about it. Have a rakija (local grappa) before you hit the town.
