It’s hard to describe exactly, but there’s a feeling that Zagreb gives me that makes me feel comfortable, like I’m in the right place. Maybe it’s the perfect sunny weather we’ve had, maybe it’s the birds chirping everywhere, maybe it’s the eclectic friendly people, maybe it’s the comfortable cafe culture where you can sit for hours and people watch anywhere, maybe it’s the unexpected sense of optimism and growth, maybe it’s the delicious food (amazing burek and pizza!) and drink (locally roasted coffee, craft beers, and cherry liquor), maybe it’s the almost complete lack of tourist hordes and the local openness to outside visitors, maybe it’s the buzzing city center with trams zipping along next to people going about their daily lives, maybe it’s the locality of the rural country side, with farms, hiking/biking trails, and mountains so close to the city, maybe it’s the artistic culture with street art everywhere (the best artwork is hidden, but we found it with our amazing tour guide on the Secret Zagreb tour).
Whatever it is, this is a city that I don’t want to leave. It’s been a difficult decision to get riding again tomorrow, but there are still many places in this world that we want to see. Dovidjena, Zagreb! I’m certain we will return.
Love that you are posting again (with pics). Keep having a great time. We can feel the joy and exhilaration from here
So glad you liked Zagreb this much! I look forward to reading about your next stops and adventures ?
