Zagreb's population is only around 1.5 million so it is not a huge city but it is a very beautiful city as it has so much history from religion and ownership battles.
Tesla
Nikolai Tesla is the most famous guy who is commemorated around the city with statues, streets and bars named after him. He invented electricity which has to be of life's greatest inventions I'd say. There is a debate as to whether he is Serbian or Croatian but Croatia is definitely proud of him. Tesla the bar is pretty swanky and worth a visit.
One thing to note are that Croatians are pretty hot! There are a mix of looks but when walking around you can see people make an effort.
Turbo folk is what the locals are into and most standard nights are this type of music. Guys will be macho and girls very dressed up. The Croatians like to look like they have money even if they don't my local friend tells me.
It is very Catholic so it is quite traditional in a lot of ways.
The going out street is called: xxx. You get a lot of restaurants here and you can have a beer as people parade up and down what looks like a bit of a catwalk!
You need to go to the Museum of Broken Relationships as it is such a cool concept, they display stories of relationships and momentos from each story. The exhibition has travelled the world but is based on Zagreb. There is also a cool view of the city and you can see the St Mark's church with it's cool titled roof.
Highlights:
Cafe Velvet is nice and once you've had a nice coffee and fancy cake if you walk up towards the wooded area you will see how the other side live and the presidents house is up there. There is a nice walk that takes you to the posh side of the city.
This is an awesome underground techno club where Croatian techno DJs play. It's a cool hang out.
The architecture
My friend is super smart so gave me the history and type of architecture of most types of building.
