Zagreb is getting pretty empty these days while many locals flock to the coast in dire need of a vacation and refreshment.
Are you one of those people who already spent their days off, or planning on spending your holiday even later, when the crowds thin out, or maybe you are one of the tourists visiting Zagreb on your way to the coast? Either way, make sure you visit Strossmartre, a lovely promenade located in the Upper Town, near the Funicular, where you can enjoy refreshing drinks in the shade while listening to some great bands performing most diverse selection of cool summer tunes, bring your kids or bring out the kid in you and watch the morning puppet shows or show your creative side in one of the art workshops. There’s something for everyone!
Also, stop by the nearby Art Park this week, where every night a documentary will be screened for free! Read more here.
