Zagreb, Croatia - Monday & Tuesday, 9/20 & 9/21/2021

Zagreb, Croatia’s capital - a very nice pedestrian walkway, Tkalciceva  Street, lined with outdoor cafes and steps away from our hotel.


A variety of restaurants to choose from - After all the meat meals in our earlier travels, we were very happy with our choice of Indian food at the Bombay Grill and curry at the Sri Lanka Restaurant.

Zagreb is known for its’ 18th & 19th centuries Austro Hungarian architecture
