To be honest, I didn't know much about Zagreb at all before I visited. Thankfully, the Croatian tourism board really has their act together and provides you with a great map of the city and a set walking tour so you can see all the sites. So after walking for a solid 45 minutes to the city center from our hostel, the first stop off was some food and drink. A much harder find than you would think, given it was a Sunday and everything was shut. That made for some great sightseeing though, as there were also hardly any people around.
Zagreb was a beautiful city, and really surprised me with some great architecture, lovely parks, and great dining (drinking) opportunities.
What a healthy and nutritious lunch we had. I'm pretty sure they don't sell curly fries in Perth, so the novelty factor that these had made them all the more exciting. Don't judge.
Of course we stopped off for some ciders and beer (in Chewy's case) along the way, in this town square. It was sunny, with a gentle breeze, and we were surrounded by beautiful, old churches and lots of plantlife. A great time was had by all, and we ended up staying here for a couple of hours.
Colourful bins anyone?
This amazing looking church was high on our list of things to see as soon as we saw the spire from a distance. Unfortunately I was 'inappropriately' dressed to enter it, and so this picture from the outside will do. Upon trying to get in, an old gentleman at the door promptly stopped me and shooed me outside. And I was wearing this.
And why not end this post with a giant, human sized egg?
