EDITOR’S LETTER

Dear traveler

Spring is at the city gates, a good time to visit its extensive green spaces with the ability to charm even the most stressed traveler. Take your time to stroll through numerous city parks and don’t forget to visit Maksimir Park or Medvednica Nature Park as well as Medvedgrad, the largest Croatian medieval noble court with a unique view of Zagreb.

While walking through the city center you may also indulge in the offer of craftsmen presented in this Guide. We always try to give a broad overview of the high quality our city has to offer. In this issue for example, you can find an interview with the very talented jewelry designer Dalia Katavić, specialized in creating artistic jewelry, and Ksenija Vrabanić, the name behind XD Xenia Design fashion label, a sort of a legend in the Croatian fashion scene. Besides fashion and jewelry, the guide presents souvenirs with a twist, Croatian design shops, artisan products as well as specialized stores.

So dear guests, please use the opportunity to enjoy our city and soak in its flavor which is greatly influenced by its residents and craftsmen. It is those nuances that make every city around the world a special place to visit over and over again. So even if you should be here on business, take an afternoon, clear your schedule and take a walk of the city, possibly discovering something you might want to take home as a reminder of the time spent here. We are hoping for the best weather this spring for your adventures in Zagreb!

Enjoy your spring city break! Insight Design Guide Team
