Zagreb - Post Report Question and Answers

What have been the highlights of your time in this country? Best trips or experiences?

Traveling regionally (especially to Ljubljana, Lake Bled, Vienna, Budapest, and Kotor) and going to the coast (highlights were Mljet, Dubrovnik, and Rovinj--anywhere in Istria, really). - Jan 2023


Traveling to the Croatian coast, Northern Italy, Budapest, Vienna - being able to travel around this region by car has been amazing.

We have also experienced a ton of hospitality from the Croats. Once you get to know them, they will do anything for you. They love to bring you gifts, usually fresh fruit or veggies from their garden or a baked treat. - Jul 2018


Adriatic Sea visits, enjoying a view of Sljeme mountain from our neighborhood, experiencing 4 seasons every year. Beautiful European spring flowers. - Apr 2016


The best part of living in Croatia was traveling around the county. In previous assignments, I felt like I had pretty much been everywhere in the country that I wanted to go by the time my tour was about half over. Not so in Croatia where my list of places to go kept getting longer right up until I left. Don't miss the islands, and also plan to spend some time in the continental and mountainous parts of the country, which are spectacular in their own rights. - Aug 2014


Definitely the best part is the coast of Croatia. From Zagreb it is around 90 minutes to the nearest point and the Adriatic coast is awesome - clear, clean water. Just drive anywhere to the coast (it is all public) and jump in the water. Then climb out, get a pizza, and jump back in. Well, that's what I like to do. Then there are the old cities like; Split, Rovinj, Dubrovnik and Pula, just to name a few that are fascinating places to see and then go jump in the Adriatic! - Jun 2014


This should give you some insight about our tour... Our highlights of being posted in Croatia have been traveling down to the coast, and also visiting the neighboring countries. So if it's not a long weekend out of town, don't expect a good time from the city of Zagreb. There are been a few fun festivals and celebrations but our true highlights have come from getting OUT of Zagreb. - Feb 2014


The Croatian Coast, it's really the only thing that this place is worth coming for. - Dec 2011


My favorite times have been just in the city at night. The main square, Trg Bana Jelacic, is a great "hang out" spot. - Oct 2010
