Ivanas Trip To Croatia Macro


I visited and stayed in Croatia for 14 days. I mostly spent time in the capital city of Zagreb but also visited the eastern part of Croatia as well as the nature park Kopacki Rit. The food was amazing and people are very friendly. It's a wonderful destination!

Location

Croatia is a country located in Southeast Europe, on the eastern side of the Adriatic Sea. It is known for its diverse landscapes, which include the coastal areas along the Adriatic, the Pannonian Plains, and the mountainous regions of Gorski Kotar and the Dinaric Alps. The country is renowned for its historic cities, beautiful national parks, and a rich cultural heritage. I flew direct from Dublin to Zagreb with Croatia Airlines, which took about 2 and a half hours. From the airport to the city it took approximately 40 minutes by taxi.

What I Loved

I loved the local food and amazing sights. Croatia is beautiful and I would definitely visit it again. The people are approachable and the connection to Dublin is great as there are direct flights to Zagreb but also direct flights to other cities, so you can have a tour from the coast to the inner parts of Croatia as well. ​

Activities & Places to See

  • ​I would highly recommend the different Museums in Zagreb like Mimara museum or Museum of Illusions, as these were very interesting.
  • Maksimir park is an amazing space full of green areas with lots of walking trails. It also includes Zagreb Zoo, which is a great place to visit with kids.
  • Visit Kopacki Rit, a natural park in eastern Croatia which is great for bird watchers and nature lovers as you can see a wide variety of different animal species.

Shopping

Zagreb has lot of excellent shopping mall areas like Kings Cross & Arena Zagreb.

Bars & Restaurants

​​There are lots of Mexican food and burger bar places all over the city. I really enjoyed the food in Maredo Grill, which specialises in grilled foods. I did not go to any of the bars but there are lovely terraces around the city where you can drink coffee or eat an ice cream and enjoy the sun. ​
