Arrival & Getting Around
By bus
By plane
The ground floor of the Zagreb Bus Station (autobusni kolodvor) is home to a series of shops where anything from bed linen to a cup of coffee can be procured. The top floor is home to a post office (Open 07:00 - 20:00, Sat 08:00 13:00. Closed Sun.) and chapel. Above the main entrance hall which is bustled with cashiers is an Internet cafe that’s open 24hrs (tel. 613 37 46). Window N°3, the Information centre (Open 00:00 - 24:00), usually is staffed by someone with at least a minor command of English. Changing currency: ATM machines are located in the main hall next to the ticket office and outside the building along Avenija Marina Držića. There is a currency exchange (mjenjačnica, Open 06:15 - 21:30, Sun 07:00 - 21:30) in the ticketing hall. Left luggage: Abandon your bags in the Garderoba (Open 24hrs) located up the small staircase to the right of the main hall for 5kn/hr unless your bag weighs over 40kg in which case you’ll be paying 10kn/hr. Toilets are located up the small staircase to the left of the main hall and cost 3kn. Getting to Town: Should you want to walk the 20 minutes into town, when your back is to the station entrance the centre is to your left and behind you. For proponents of public transportation a tram is your best bet - saunter across the street and pick up tram N°6 towards Črnomerec to get to the main square, Trg bana Josipa Jelačića. Taxis are plentiful, but will cost about 50kn to get to the centre.
Pleso International Airport is located 17km out of town. Its small size makes the airport easily to get around; both domestic and international arrival and departure areas are located on the ground floor. Changing currency: directly outside international arrivals, there is a Zagrebačka banka office complete with a currency exchange (Open 08:00 21:00) and ATM. In the departures hall there is an Information Centre (tel. 060 32 03 20), which is open 24 hours. Toilets: The toilets in the centre of the airport across from the post office have a baby changing room, but do note that the ones on the top floor are less crowded. Getting to Town: Pleso prijevoz (www.plesoprijevoz.hr) runs a bus service from Pleso International to the Zagreb Bus Station (autobusni kolodvor), which leaves according to flight schedules from outside the international arrivals and costs 30kn/person. Those willing to part with a bit more cash can catch a taxi in front of the international arrivals. Due to the specific location of the Pleso Airport, taxi rates can differ significantly.Therefore, we recommend you pre-book online prior to your arrival. Simply log onto www.ekotaxi. hr and your taxi ride will be waiting for you with prices and comfort second to none. If you wish to go solo and ride on your own, then the airport has over 10 local and international rent-a-car agencies to choose from.

Arrival & Getting Around By train Zagreb’s train station (željeznički kolodvor) is not very userfriendly, but sees more traffic than other points of entry into the city. Changing currency: When exiting the tracks walk through the main hall to find an ATM machine in the left corner. A currency exchange is located in the international ticketing area as is another ATM. The Information office (Tel. 060 33 34 44. Open 06:00 - 22:00) is located between the main hall and domestic ticketing area (to your right as you exit the tracks). Across from the Information window is a nifty tourist information touch screen - nifty, that is, if it ever worked. The left luggage facilities (Garderoba) are available 24 hours and are to the left of the main hall as you exit the tracks. Each piece of luggage costs 15kn/hr. Getting to Town: Walk out the main entrance and survey your surroundings - this is the centre. To get to the main square, Trg bana Josipa Jelačića, take tram N°6 towards Črnomerec or tram N°13 heading towards Žitnjak. Taxis queue in front of the main hall and a ride into town will usually go along the most scenic of routes and will cost around 30kn. Main Train Station (Glavni kolodvor) QC-4, Trg kralja Tomislava 12, tel. (+385-) 060 33 34 44, www.hzpp.hr.
Public transport Trams Zagreb has 15 tram lines that run from 04:00 - 23:50; the night trams (4 lines) run from 23:50 - 04:30. Schedules can be found at www.zet.hr/tramvaj/.aspx. Tickets cost 10kn for daily transport and 15kn for the night rides (00:00 04:00), each is valid for 90 minutes, while daily tickets are 30kn. Tickets are available from the driver, on kiosks or ZET stores. Children under six ride free. Validate your ticket once you board: an unvalidated ticket is as good as no ticket at all, and getting caught without one is an embarrassing and costly experience, with inspectors operating on a random schedule.Qtel. (+385-) 0800 20 00 60/ (+385-) 060 10 00 01, javnost@zet.hr, www.zet.hr. Buses A list of departure times can be found at all bus stops, marked by blue signs with a bus picture or at www.zet. hr. The biggest bus stop for local transport is just south of C-4, Glavni kolodvor through the Importanne Mall passage. Qtel. (+385-) 0800 20 00 60/(+385-) 060 10 00 01.

City Basics Customs
Visas
As Croatia entered the EU on July 1 2013, there are no longer custom limits between member states or tax return. For other non-member states we recommend you to follow info at www.porezna-uprava.hr.
Since Croatia has become a new member of the European Union on July 1, 2013, the Croatian visa policy became fully compliant with the European Union visa policy. What does that mean? All citizens of states that need visas to enter other EU member states need a visa to enter Croatia also. Therefore, make sure to visit the Croatian consulate/embassy in your country of origin, before visiting Croatia.
Disabled travellers Raising awareness for the disabled is beginning to take shape and some improvements can be seen, but there is still a loooong way to go. At the moment, all car parks have parking spots for disabled, most hotels have at least one room adapted for their needs, and shopping centres have suitable access with facilitated toilets, as do new buildings. In saying that, once you head outdoors one can expect problems on the streets, footpaths and access to most buildings. If you’re planning to visit, we suggest you inquire about your destination in relation to these matters and the majority will endeavour to organise and make your arrival as accessible as possible.
Electricity The electricity supply is 220W, 50hz, so visitors from the United States will need to use a transformer to run electrical appliances.
Money There are plenty of exchange offices around Zagreb, as well as an abundance of ATMs that operate twenty-four hours a day. Many restaurants, bars and cafés accept credit cards, but not all, so be sure to have a reasonable amount of cash on you.
Roads When behind the wheel drivers must always have their driving licence, traffic licence and green card with them. Standard laws apply such as compulsory use of a seat belt and no mobiles except hands-free. Maximum blood alcohol level for drivers over 24 is 0.05 mils. The speed limit in urban areas is 50 km/ph unless otherwise marked, 80 km/ ph on secondary roads and 130 km/ph on highways. As they say, leave sooner, drive slower, live longer.
Toilets You ‘had to go’ forty-five minutes ago... now your sweat and tear-stained face of utter desperation lets those you pass in the streets know that the situation has moved from bad to worse. Let’s face it, we’ve all been there. Unfortunately, public toilets or WCs (pronounced ‘vay-say’) are few and far between being clean and free. Your best bet is to find and use one inside the shopping malls and bigger stores or take a seat at a café, order yourself a beverage and then hustle through the appropriate door - gospoda or muški for men, dame or ženski for women. facebook.com/ZagrebInYourPocket

Water Tap water is absolutely safe for drinking.
When things go wrong Crime figures rank Croatia and the city of Zagreb significantly lower than most of Europe. Nevertheless, you should keep your eyes on your belongings at all time. In case of an emergency, Croatia has implemented Europe’s wide Emergency Number 112 which then transfers you to police, ER or the fire department. Depending on the city district, in case you were involved in an accident or were arrested, you will be taken to the nearest police station. In that case, contact your embassy. The main building for ER is located in Heinzelova Street 88 (K-3) where everything necessary will be done or you will be taken to the nearest hospital if need. In case of an accident call HAK road help 24/7 (+385 1) 1987.
Basic data Population: Croatia (April 2011): 4,290,612, Zagreb (April 2011): 792,875 Territory: Croatia’s land territory takes up 56,542km2. It shares borders with Hungary, Slovenia, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina and a sea-border with Italy. The highest peak (1,831m) is in the Dinara Mountains which create a natural border between Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Dalmatian coast: The coast is the main tourist attraction for good reason - the crystal clear waters are some of the most beautiful on the planet and among its most pure! Islands: An amazing 1,185 islands lie off the Croatian coast, 47 of them inhabited. Rivers: The longest river is the Sava at 562km. It ambles just south of the train station. The Drava covers a distance of 505km; the mighty Danube spans 188km through the country. Local time: Croatia is part of the Central European Time Zone (GMT+1): when it is noon in Zagreb it is 12:00 in Berlin, 11:00 in London, 06:00 in New York, 14:00 in Moscow, and 21:00 in Sydney.

Zagreb Best New Art By Jonathan Bousfield Zagreb may not quite be on the same level as Berlin or London, but there are real signs that the art scene is becoming more diverse, engaging and challenging with every passing year. Providing a bluffer’s guide to the scene would require a tome the size of a small encyclopedia: here, however, are six names that have made an impact over the last twelve months and who look set to cast a long shadow over Zagreb art in the future.
10 Zagreb In Your Pocket
ZagrebSummer2014.indd 10
Zagreb’s contemporary art scene has changed enormously in the last five years, not least because the local gallery landscape has itself undergone seismic changes. The opening of the Museum of Contemporary Art or MSU in December 2009 finally provided Croatia’s strong traditions of conceptual art and performance art with the institutional platform they deserved. The Lauba Gallery, opened in 2011 by a private collector, serves as a counter-balance to the MSU in showcasing the kind of art that is visually engaging in its own right while still giving you something to scratch your head about. Mixing the best of both approaches is independent gallery and social hub Greta, with its policy of one-week-only exhibitions and opening-night parties. Relative newcomer Boonika (www.facebook.com/BOONIKA.NET) provides exhibition space to the predominantly young and underground artists who are yet to establish a presence in the artistic mainstream. Not to be forgotten is the growing role of the street, with the Museum of Street Art or MUU sponsoring a wave of serious public art projects across the city - although the vivid, vital world of Zagreb street art is something that really deserves a whole article to itself. Sandra Vitaljić The photography of Sandra Vitaljić frequently creeps up on you unawares, its visually soothing but subtly ambiguous surface pointing you towards a much darker back-story. Former fashion snapper turned fine-art photographer Vitaljić picked up this year’s T-HT Prize (Croatia’s most prestigious annual art award) for Beloved, a series of photographs showing female faces and body parts. Although beautifully ethereal at first sight, they were in fact inspired by newspaper accounts of criminal cases in which women were murdered by their male partners. Equally thoughtprovoking was Vitaljić’s earlier work Infertile Grounds, a much-praised series of lyrical landscape photographs that documented the current appearance of former battlefields and wartime atrocity sites. It’s no surprise to discover that Vitaljić wrote her doctoral thesis on the manipulation of photography in times of war: the resulting book, Rat slikama (War Through Pictures) was declared best art book at this year’s Sarajevo book fair. Miron Milić Walking down Petrinjska street past the infamous police station where foreign residents of the fair capital have to queue up to be registered, you’ll come face to face with a huge mural of a waterfall covering the north-facing side of a tall brick house. It’s the work of Miron Milić, a draftsman and illustrator who sees the streets as a perfectly legitimate alternative to art gallery. Inspired by pop art, comic strips and illustrated children’s encyclopedias, Milić’s work often looks more direct on a city wall than it would in a whitecube space, and has certainly had the kind of public impact that most contemporary artists can only dream of. A lot of his work looks like the frames of strip-cartoon stories, taken out of context - indeed his work has also appeared in the pages of cult alternative comic-strip magazine Komikaze (www.komikaze.hr). His large-format drawing of fighting cats, ambiguously captioned with the words “they played with hidden teeth and retracted claws” can currently be seen hanging in the car-park of the Lauba Gallery. zagreb.inyourpocket.com

Culture & Events Zlatan Vehabović Since opening in June 2011 the Lauba Gallery has helped give a new lease of life to Croatian figurative painting, and Zlatan Vehabović has been one of the brightest stars on the scene. Indeed Vehabović is slowly assuming the mantle of Croatia’s leading contemporary figurative painter: the critics like him; the public likes him; and foreign galleries want to show his work. As well as being visually compelling, Vehabović’s self-portraits and narrative paintings have a deeply meditative quality, often presenting the viewer with a visual riddle to which there might be more than one answer. Seen in Zagreb in January 2014 and currently on show in New York, The Cursed Crew is a cycle of paintings inspired by My Donal, a Scottish folk song dealing with the wave-tossed exploits of whale fishermen as seen through the eyes of the women who eagerly await their return. Vehabović’s compelling pictures of men in boats, men staring at icy grey seas, and weird beached sea monsters, combine to produce an atmosphere of adventure, but also one of loneliness and melancholy.
OKO
Oko Further evidence of the impact of street art on the Zagreb art scene is provided by Oko (”The Eye”), another product of the city’s art academies who forsook the galleries for the streets, and is now heading back in the other direction. Oko’s trademark animal- and bird-headed figures can be seen in numerous locations around Zagreb and elsewhere - the artist herself sees them as shaman-like spiritual guardians, watching over the denizens of the city. Oko swept up one of the main prizes at the Zagreb Salon of 2012 when four of her larger than life animal-headed humanoids, entitled the Keepers of Gaia, were hung in the central space of the HDLU. Several of Oko’s monumental drawings were displayed in London’s Victoria and Albert Museum earlier this year, adding to her growing reputation as one of Zagreb’s most collectable artists. Stipan Tadić Most prolific of Zagreb’s younger-generation painters, Stipan Tadić has become one of Zagreb’s most sough-after figurative artists. As well as being an accomplished portraitist he is also a master of the big historical canvas, mixing social commentary with a mercurial sense of humour. When asked by a client to produce a landscape painting with an Adriatic theme, he came up with 5 August, which portrays a building-site bulldozer tearing up the Dalmatian countryside. Tadić marked his graduation from the Zagreb academy with a large-format canvas depicting the Croatian National Theatre filled with his fellow students. Another typical piece of Tadić mischief is his picture of Zagreb mayor Milan Bandić clad in17th-century armour and riding a white horse. Tadić was one of the stars of the Zagreb painting biennale in November 2013, and was the subject of a sizeable solo exhibition in Split later the same month. Most recently, a residency in Abu Dhabi led to a striking series of Bedouin portraits. 12 Zagreb In Your Pocket

Marijan Crtalić Conceptual artist Marijan Crtalić may not have been widely exhibited in 2014, but he has certainly been in the public eye. This is largely thanks to his work in organizing the Steelworks Festival (www.festivalzeljezara.org), a weekend of concerts, exhibitions and workshops that took place in his home town of Sisak in early June. A once-thriving industrial city, Sisak was home to an artists’ colony in the 1970s and 80s, during which sculptors fashioned works from the city’s steel. Looking back in commemoration of
nikola tesla - croatia’s greatest inventor To explain what exactly Nikola Tesla invented is not so easy unless you happen to be an electrical engineer. But his many inventions are vital for things that we now take for granted: electric power and radio. Tesla’s background is also sometimes difficult to explain: he was born in the village of Smiljan, near Gospić (today’s Croatia) and was of Serbian descent, so both Croatia and Serbia have a legitimate claim to him (as, indeed, do the Americans – he became a US citizen!). See more about Tesla at the Technical Museum.

Culture & Events this bygone age of industrial might and cultural vitality, the Steelworks Festival struck a deep chord throughout Croatia - largely because the decline of Sisak has been mirrored in industrial towns elsewhere. The festival grew out of Crtalić’s own artwork Invisible Sisak, a long-term research project that assembled photographs, texts and videos recalling the city’s steel-and-sculpture heritage. It’s through works such as these that Crtalić has emerged as an eloquent advocate of the social role of art in Croatia. In a society battered by economic transition and corporate unconcern, every artists has, to some extent, to be a social activist too.

15.05 Thursday - 24.08 Sunday Vlasta Delimar at the MSU Ask the average Croat about artist Vlasta Delimar and the chances are that most of them will say “isn’t she the one whose always taking her clothes off?”. It’s an understandable comment: artists who have used their own naked bodies in the course of their art will always be associated in the popular mind with the nudity itself, rather than its context. As photographs in the MSU retrospective reveal, a lot of Delimar’s most famous performances took place in the streets, unannounced, to an audience of random passers-by. One of the novelties of the show is that it will put her activities in a big-gallery context: during the exhibition Delimar will take up residence in the gallery in an improvised living and working space, and take part in a work called Poziv na druženje (“An Invitation to Hang Out”), in which she will talk about art with a group of guests in a number of different locations: in the gallery, in the museum foyer, or next to the nearest bus stop.QJ-4, Museum of Contemporary Art, Avenija Dubrovnik 17, www.msu. hr. 17.05 - AUGUST Meštart: Petar Barišić and Loren Živković Kuljiš - Transitions See a new insight and approach into the extraordinary artistic opus of one of the world’s most famous sculptors of the 20th century, Croatia’s very own Ivan Meštrović.

The festival was founded in Zagreb in 1968 when, strange though it may seem, a group of supporters of the Esperanto language wanted to organise a cultural event all in the international language. Thus, PIF was born, but puppeteering soon became more exciting than the idea of international utopia, and now the puppeteers use their mother tongues or the international language of puppets! (Oooww! EEEeee!) Performers from all over the world will perform both adults’ and children’s plays.Q pif@mcuk.hr, www.pif.hr. 25.09 Thursday - 28.09 Sunday International Experimental Film and Video Festival Lights, camera, action!

You can’t miss Karlovac.
If you're going to the sea, it's on the way. If you're going to Zagreb, it's on the way. If you're going to Plitvice, again it's on your way. However, for an increasing number of both Croatian and foreign visitors, Karlovac is a place to stop, relax, and enjoy the nature, rivers and various events on offer during the spring and summer, when the town of greenery and four rivers turns into one of the most interesting destinations in the continental part of Croatia.
Karlovac is the perfect destination for those who are
unsure whether to spend a short break in another town or in the countryside, as Karlovac is both of these! And don’t forget Dubovac Castle, the ancient fortress that watches over the town, and which CNN this year included in its 20 must-see places in Croatia. The vantage point from which you can see the whole town and the guard tower, which has been turned into a museum full of interesting exhibits, is worth visiting at any time of year, especially in May during the Medieval Fair or in August when every weekend a similar programme is provided by the ‘Summer at Dubovac’ event.
Karlovac is full of life
during the summer, almost as if it were an Adriatic resort. For 5 or 6 years, inhabitants have had to grumble during the winter about the fact that there’s no cinema in the town. However, during the summer months, because of its
ZagrebSummer2014.indd 22
Ri films and cinemas, it draws in visitors not just from other towns in Croatia but from all over the world! July sees the opening of the River Cinema, which every weekend shows international box office hits at Croatia’s only registered river bathing area, Foginovo kupalište, by the River Korana. During the day, you can have a great time in the beautiful Korana and at night you can sit back and enjoy a film!
All of the above is just a small part of what Karlovac has to
offer during the warmer months. The period from the middle of June until the end of July is particularly attractive, when the town will be hosting numerous events, including concerts, plays and performances in the open air in preparation for its birthday on 13 July, which every year is celebrated with a grand birthday ball at which, in honour of the town, the number of couples who dance is the same as the anniversary the town is celebrating.
But that’s not all! There’s also the International Folklore Festival (from 6th till 13th of July) and the International Ethno Jazz Festival (from 18th till 20th of July), the Karlovac Theatre Festival, a series of concerts at the Castle, and non-stop events at the Foginovo bathing area. You already knew that you can’t miss Karlovac, but now you know that if you want to be in, all you have to do this year is choose an event that takes your fancy and stop.

Kristijan Tabet
Join a young photographer in capturing some of the hidden secrets of Zagreb...
ZIYP: Is Zagreb photogenic and looks good in the photos? Kristijan: Whether it is photogenic or not depends on the eye of a quality and experienced photographers who make it look attractive and interesting through the interpretation of their own experience. ZIYP: What is your favorite city motif? Kristijan: Social humor whose protagonists are Zagreb residents and of course the inevitable Dolac food market.
If you are interested in Kristijan’s work you can check his website at www.kristijantabet.com or you can visit him at RaZGlednice Photo Gallery (Radićeva 3) see page 53. You can also follow his activities and some every day pictures on Facebook - just search for Ra ZG lednice
ZIYP: Your favorite time of day/night when you like to go taking photos? Kristijan: While the city sleeps, just before sunrise. I like to enjoy the moment when the sun rays perfrom their own play on the city’s facades and views. ZIYP: If you were to take people to the photo tour/ route, which one would that be? Kristijan: Uffff, that’s a taugh question .... many urban courtyards that have been forgotten by its inhabitants, the Dolac market, various city terraces with magnificent views of the city and of course the photo gallery of postcards... ZIYP: A place to make the best photo/memory of Zagreb? Kristijan: Cafes and restaurants that resist urbanization, modernization and capitalism :)) Retro is back in fashion and more and more establishments are regulated by the principle of ‘how it used to be’. Of course, also the motifs which I have previously mentioned are an option for the perfect memory but it is still an individual thing for any of us. My favorite place is the top of the building’s Main Railway Station from which there is a wonderful view of the entire city and even the top of the cathedral is not to be dismissed. facebook.com/ZagrebInYourPocket

Zagreb Pulse Raul Švarc Stripovi na kvadrat ZIYP: What is your favourite place for coffee or going out in the city? Raul: For coffee - Torte i To at Šalata or head to Flores in Petrićeva.
We asked five locals - who live or work in Zagreb - to give us a few tips on how to enrich your stay in this city and make it that bit more interesting.
ZIYP: Recommendation for a trip around the Zagreb area? Raul: Samobor, and the Samobor Hills… ZIYP: What is your secret place to escape from the crowds? Raul: Maksimir! ZIYP: What should guests take from Zagreb as a souvenir? Raul: Zagrebačke štrukle from the Esplanade Hotel, or anything from Doctor Balthazar.

Božidar Andrija Lukša accountant , owner of Texel Ltd. ZIYP: What is your favorite place for drinking coffee or going out in Zagreb? Božidar: My favorite place for drinking coffee and going out is the Corner Bar. A quiet atmosphere with great offers on drinks, pastries and snacks, all at a moderate price. Occasionally they organize events. ZIYP: What is your secret place to escape from the crowds? Božidar: My secret place to escape from the crowds is Corner Bar, which is located in the city center. It has a pleasant atmosphere and a beautiful terrace. ZIYP: Any recommendations for a trip around the Zagreb area? Božidar: My recommendation is to visit Medvedgrad, the old medieval town on Medvednica.
Matija Car Ulični Ormar ZIYP: What is your favourite place for coffee or going out in Zagreb? Matija: I’m tossing up between the ‘Wine Bar Basement’ in Tomićeva and Pod Starim Krovovima ‘Under the old roofs’ in Basaričekova. I recommend the first for their attractive wines and snacks, and the latter for the gathering of interesting city folk and for its warm homely atmosphere. ZIYP: What is your secret place to escape from the crowds? Matija: A short evening walk to the bistro Pilana Bliznec (‘Sawmill Bliznec’) on Bliznec Street located in the Medvednica Nature Park. And having a coffee along the stream proves to be soothing after a hard working day. ZIYP: Recommendation for a trip around the Zagreb area? Matija: The City of Samobor!
ZIYP: What should visitors bring home with them from Zagreb as a souvenir? Božidar: A Licitar Heart, a coat of arms representing the city Zagreb.
ZIYP: What should guests take from Zagreb as a souvenir? Matija: Have a sachet of sugar with coffee in one of the squares, take a dry leaf from walking in Zrinjevac or Maksimir Park, plus take a photo from one of the hidden courtyards. Then, have a chocolate ice-cream from ‘Orient’ or a cake from ‘Mak na Konac’, purchase a piggy bank from ‘LePrase’ and of course, a little something from ‘Ulični Ormar’.
ZIYP: Any advice on what visitors must try from the local specialties? Božidar: Stuffed pork loin, braised liver with stewed potatoes, ham with cabbage, baked strudel.
ZIYP: Any tips for visitors craving to try local specialties? Matija: Coffee and paprenjake (gingerbread) in the sun, or cream and cheese, veal under the peka (iron bell), cherry strudel...

The Little Market in the Attic Many people feel they’d love to have better access to healthy, organically grown food. And at the same time, producers of organic food need better access to customers. The Little Market in the Attic (Mali plac na Tavanu) is an answer to this problem, enabling people to have a lot of fun along the way. Literally held in the attic of Jelena Nikolić, a food stylist and blogger, the market is open every Saturday and you can find all kinds of interesting delicacies from the furthest corners of Croatia, plus natural cosmetics, eco-friendly cleaning products and a whole lot more. It’s also a meeting place where you can learn from others about growing and enjoying natural healthy food. QI-2, Sinkovićeva 8, sjediijedi.tportal.hr. The Little Market in the Attic will be open on July 03 & 10 at Frooom 2014, at Kino Tuškanac and at the Art Jam, in front of HDLU, on July 05, 17, 24, 31.

A Green Fingered Discount In Croatia, gardening is a longtime tradition, which allows us to cultivate as many flowers, fruits, vegetables, and spices as we want, in a variety of places, from the balconies of our apartment buildings in the city, to our grandmother’s garden at the foothills of the Velebit Mountains.Throughout history, our people have always worked on the land and have grown the food that would be eaten around the family dinner table. Nowadays, after visiting their grandparents in the village, grandchildren are still sent back to school, in the city, with fresh organic fruits and vegetables.
When it comes to naturally grown foods, we are still very spoiled and are often unaware of the privileges which we enjoy by having access to homegrown crops. Lately, each year, an increasing number of small family farms are being created by the younger generation. Along with the older generation, young families are leaving the crowded fast-paced city lifestyle behind and are moving to the countryside and starting a whole new life. Even people living together in the city have begun to come together and buy or lease large uncultivated land parcels on the edges of the city to jointly plant their own fruits and vegetables.During your stay in Croatia, it is definitely recom34 Zagreb In Your Pocket

mended that you visit one of these farms and meet some of these inspirational people who will show you how they grow their own crops. These visits will allow you to connect with Mother Nature and is especially valuable for modern urban people who are spending more and more time in the virtual world and feel less of a connection with the real world. There is no greater happiness than to follow a zucchini from its seed, which was planted, watered, and nurtured, into a full grown vegetable. Afterwards, it is picked and made into a delicious dish. In Zagreb, you can see many gardens on the rooftops and balconies. One of the most famous is Zelene Andreje on Šenoina Street, by the Central Train Station. As well, you can meet small farm producers at the grocery story, Mali plac na Tavanu, where you can organise a trip to visit a farm and do some volunteer work at the same time. There are many farms, which are located not far from Zagreb and can even be reached by using public transport.In the northern regions of Zagreb, such as Šestine, there are many orchards where farmers offer free picking of their organic fruit. After working in the fields, you are even treated to a tasty snack and a glass of wine beneath the shade of the trees. This is not only true in Zagreb and the surrounding county, but in all of the counties in Croatia, which have abundant small farms. Each year, farmers open their farms to visitors to pick the crops they have grown, from olives to grapes, apples, hazelnuts, walnuts, carob, peaches, tangerines, and lemons. If you just want to learn how to pick raspberries or blackberries, which are very sensitive and must be picked very gently, with patient and skilled hands, then Istria is the best place to visit. Croatia is a paradise for growing, harvesting, and tasting organic fresh foods and if you don’t believe us, visit a small family farm and see for yourself! zagreb.inyourpocket.com

Local Flavour Food Markets If you love your food and enjoy cooking, you won’t want to miss the farmers’ markets. Zagreb has over 20 of them; most neighbourhoods have at least a few stalls selling fruit and vegetables, while at the larger markets you’ll also find meat, fish, dairy produce and a whole lot more. The charms of open-air markets are known far and wide. Piles of produce gleaming in the sun; the local colour, the lively atmosphere. However, for outsiders it can be a daunting experience. You have to find a way to communicate with the stallholders. While the locals develop relationships with their favourite stallholders over years, you’re here just for the weekend. How can you be sure you’re not shortchanged or given spoiled produce? Don’t be fooled into thinking that just because this is an open-air market everything is as local as it is picturesque. If you look carefully you can spot the importers - the fruit is a little too regular in shape; the produce is not as fresh as it might be; the produce on sale is out of season and its packaging belies its foreign origins. The beauty of the market is buying veg that was picked early this morning (or yesterday at the latest). It’s travelled into town in a big chequered bag with the lady from the surrounding countryside - these ladies are known as kumice and for their years spent supplying the city’s markets they’ve earned their own statue at the top of the steps on Dolac market. Or it might be trucked in from the coast where it’s spent its life under the warm Dalmatian sun. See that bit of mud on the roots of your spinach? That’s a good sign that tells you this is the real deal. This food wasn’t raised on artificial substrate so it’s full of flavour. With a bit of luck it’s not soaked with chemical fertilizers or pesticides either. Look out for people with a slightly motley selection of goods that tell you they’re smallholders, not large-scale traders. Seek out imperfections in the produce - natural food is not all the same size and shape. Look for a nice bit of mud (but not too much water, that’s a trick to add weight on the scales). The aforementioned Dolac has been feeding the citizens of Zagreb since 1930, and it’s one of the liveliest spots in the city. From 06:00 to around 14:00, it’s full of banter, barter, chatter, shouting and laughter. It’s fringed by cafes and little food outlets; a trip there is an unmissable part of the sightseeing schedule.If you’re a vegetarian, you’ll want to avoid the meat section where you’ll be confronted by bits of carcass swinging all over the place.

The meat market is far from unsanitary but it’s a far cry from the cellophane-wrapped sterility of the supermarket; there’s no kidding you where that pork chop came from. Here you can choose from fresh meat of all kinds, cured hams, bones and tails for your soup, spicy Slavonian kulen (a little like a giant chorizo), multitude salamis and the scourge of children everywhere, offal. Potentially even more off-putting is the dairy section at Dolac, an enclosed area with an unmistakeably milky aroma. There rows of ladies invite you to taste their wares, and we strongly advise you to do so. Try slivers of supple young cheese (svježi sir), rich sour cream (vrhnje), smoked cheese (dimljeni sir), cheese flavoured with papr ika, nettle, herbs or made with goat’s or sheep’s milk (kozji, ovčji sir). Also look out for the Gligora stall selling highly-regarded cheese from Pag island. A trip to the fish section (ribarnica) is part culinary voyage, part natural history adventure. The creatures of the deep whose gaze you’ll meet you’ve probably never seen before. Along with shimmering crates of sardines are plump pink scorpion fish, exquisite yet ugly monkfish; jumbo Adriatic squid, conger eel, river trout and huge, fearsomely-toothed, delicious and hideously expensive dentex. If you’re not sure how to prepare these things, ask the stallholder who will usually gut them for you and offer advice on cooking. Look for fish with plump flesh and bright (not sunken) eyes. There’s fish to suit every pocket, and the cheapest, the humble sardine (just 20kn a kilo), is the healthiest of them all. At the far end of the open-air part of Dolac market you’ll find herbal teas and tinctures and traditional craft items such as lace tablecloths, embroidered slippers and wooden toys. Summer 2014

Dolac, ZGH Archives
Above is a plateau named after Petrica Kerempuh, a literary character. The Kerempuh restaurant is a great spot for a tasty lunch, and the Potepuh café has been the meeting place of artists and intellectuals for decades, including poet Tin Ujević and novelist Miroslav Krleža. In summer, you can buy bedding plants, herbs and other supplies for your garden or window box in this part of the market. Go a little further along Opatovina and you’ll find stalls selling cheap clothing.Down the Dolac steps and towards the square are flower stalls, a mirror held up to the changing seasons. Along with hothouse staples there are always narcissi in the spring, chrysanthemums in autumn, and lavender and sunflowers to help you pay homage to the summer. As you can see, your shopping spree on Dolac is hard work so you deserve a break. A legendary place for a light lunch is Bistro Amfora, strategically positioned under the arches by the fish market. The place hasn’t changed in the past 30 years; it’s one of the last reminders of Zagreb in years gone by and the locals gather from dawn to chew over the day’s gossip. The smell of frying squid and sardines is irresistible. A main course (we suggest crni rižot, squid ink risotto) and a glass of wine will set you back just a few euro.The other main Zagreb markets include Britanski trg (affectionately known as Britanac), which transforms into an antiques market on Sundays; and Trešnjevački plac and Kvatrić (Kvaternikov trg) - also largeish markets with good fish sections and much more. So, pick up your basket and head for the market! Great food, good cheer and some super photo opportunities await you.
Local Dishes Here in Zagreb we’re at the crossroads of a number of culinary influences. For centuries, this was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire so it’s natural that the Germanic influence is strongest in cooking as in language (you’ll hear 36 Zagreb In Your Pocket
ZagrebSummer2014.indd 36
plenty of loan words in the local dialect). However, the paprika-infused cooking of Hungary is not far away, and as road networks improve, the travelling time from the coast is ever shorter. Zagreb is a magnet for immigrants from across the country (and beyond), who bring with them fresh approaches to cooking which are adopted with enthusiasm by the locals.But what is the real Zagreb, in culinary terms? Here are a few examples.Probably the best known dishes which truly represent Zagreb are purica s mlincima (turkey roast with sheets of baked pasta-like dough that soak up the tasty juices), and štrukli (pasta parcels of soft young cheese boiled and baked in the oven). Then there’s zagrebački odrezak, fried breaded pork stuffed with ham and cheese which, though popular, probably doesn’t quite count as traditional food, but can be worth trying for the stunningly sized portions. Something you might find on lunchtime menus is eingemachtes (often corrupted to ajngemachtes in Croatian, or named more correctly ujušak. This is an all-in-one meal usually made with chicken meat and offal cooked into a thick and tasty soup with root vegetables and dumplings. Then there’s špek fileki, a hearty stew of tripe cooked with smoked bacon (that’s the špek bit), another lunchtime favourite, especially with the menfolk. Gwyneth Paltrow would certainly raise an eyebrow or two if you served her with granadirmaš (or grantirmarš, grenadier): boiled potatoes and pasta mixed with onion and bacon cooked in pork dripping, often served with fried breaded meat. An equally carbohydrate-laden treat is ajnpren juha (or prežgana juha) - a roux of flour or oil and fat cooked with water with an egg added at the end. Not only was this nourishing food during tough economic times, it is still reputed to cure a dodgy tummy.You can try these foods in Zagreb’s traditional-style restaurants - see our Restaurants pages for listings. Or if you’d like to roast a turkey at home, we can recommend locally-reared heritage turkeys from “Puran zagorskih brega”, which you can order on (+385-49) 32 90 66.

Sightseeing Essential Zagreb Ban Josip Jelačić Square (Trg bana Josipa Jelačića) This Austro-Hungarian styled square is the true centre of the city. There’s a phenomenal variety of cafés, shopping, feeding and people watching everywhere. It was named after the impressive sculpture within its domain, that of Count Jelačić, his deadly steed, and a sword so pointy and sharp that it could poke your eye out. Our count’s image has inspired a number of political outbursts: in 1947 it was dismantled and chucked into a corner somewhere because leaders found it overly representative of nationalism in the country. The year 1990 brought it back into its current place, this time leaders believing it perfectly nationalistic.QC-2, Trg bana Josipa Jelačića. Maksimir Park & the City Zoo (Maksimirski park i Zoološki vrt) A perfect half-day outing for love birds, families, the four-legged, this place will revitalise a tired soul. Leaves, lakes, grasses and dirt are all a part of the equation as well as clouds, a sky and periodically the very sun! Blaring car engines have been removed from this place and as such it’s a great escape. The 18 hectares of lush greenery and forest was opened to the public in 1794 and was the first of its kind in this part of Europe. An added bonus, the city zoo is housed within it. Catch tram N°11 or 12 from Trg bana Josipa Jelačića east (Dubec) to the Bukovačka stop. The entrance to Maksimir park is on the north side of the street.QK-1/2, Maksimirski perivoj bb, www.zgzoo.com. Zoo is open 09:00 - 20:00 (July, August), 09:00 - 19:00 (September), ticket office 09:00 - 18:30 (July, August), 09:00 - 18:00 (September). Admission 20 - 30kn. Mirogoj Cemetery Croats in the capital city don’t mess around with the homage they pay to their lost loved ones. A trip to Mirogoj, Zagreb’s main cemetery, confirms this immediately. Situated on the slopes of the Medvednica mountain, it is one of the most beautiful cemeteries in Europe. Lime-green cupolas top the wall that surrounds the memorial park. Mirogoj is not only a burial place but also a beautiful park and open art gallery. Not far from the present mortuary, in the period between 1852 and 1895 there stood the summer house of the Illyrian leader, Ljudevit Gaj. After his death the municipality bought the complete estate and constructed the central Zagreb cemetery upon it. The well-known architect Herman Bollé designed the shape of the cemetery, applying a monumental composition of arcades, pavilions and domes, intermingled with rich vegetation, and adding a gallery of sculptures by Croatian sculptors. Getting There Bus N°106 from the Cathedral to Mirogoj takes 15min and costs 10kn. You can also take tram N°14 from the main square heading east (to Mihaljevac) and get out at the fourth stop (Gupčeva zvijezda).QJ-1, Mirogoj bb. facebook.com/ZagrebInYourPocket

St Mark’s Church (Crkva sv. Marka) The spectrum of colours displayed on the roof beautifully depicts the Croatian, Dalmatian and Slavonian coatsof-arms and also the Zagreb city emblem and provides for quite a lasting visual. Due to various natural disasters it has received a ton of reconstruction and not a whole lot remains of the original 14th century building. Inside, highlights include two works by Ivan Meštrović, Croatia’s most famous sculptor, and frescoes by artist Jozo Kljaković.QC-1, Trg svetog Marka 5, tel. (+385-1) 485 16 11. Stone Gate (Kamenita vrata) This archway was one of the four original entries into the walled Gornji Grad of the feudal period. In 1731 a terrible fire destroyed much of the town, and legend has it that a vision of the Virgin Mary could be seen in the burnt ash that remained in this entry. It was reconstructed in 1760 and hasn’t been touched since. Today you’ll find ladies praying in the church pews, black-soot ceilings and candles glowing as a testament to a people and their faith.QC-1, Kamenita bb. The Cathedral of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Katedrala Marijina Uznesenja) A wonder of neo-Gothic artistry, the impressive and sharp looking towers stand out from nearly anywhere you are in the entire city. Though it’s in an evidently permanent state of reconstruction, it’s undeniably overwhelming and will push you to ponder those larger things we can see you’ve been avoiding. Go ahead and wander inside but don’t forget to turn the mobile off. A brief history: 1093 - founded; 1242 - the initial Romanesque construction is finished. In the next 21 years it’s heavily damaged in various sieges by the Tatars; 1624 - a series of sweeping fires practically destroys it; 1645 - another wave of fires picks up where the last left off. It’s reconstructed; 1880 - sustains serious damage during an earthquake. A 12-year restoration takes place, at which time the neo-Gothic bell towers are raised skyward; 1990 - exterior renovations set in motion to battle against the effects of time. Mass: 07:00, 08:00, 09:00, 18:00, Sunday 07:00, 08:00, 09:00, 10:00, 11:30, 18:00. QC-1, Kaptol 31, tel. (+385-1) 481 47 27. Open 10:00 - 17:00, Sun 13:00 - 17:00.

Sightseeing The Lotrščak Tower and Grič cannon (Kula Lotrščak i Grički top) If in Zagreb you hear the blast of cannon fire, fear not, it simply means it’s midday. This auditory onslaught is not an elaborate pigeon-scaring scheme. According to one legend, a cannon shot from the Lotrščak tower soared over the river Sava and landed in the Turks’ encampment, right on a platter of chicken that was being carried to the Pasha for his lunch. The Pasha decided against attacking a city of fearsome sharpshooters so Zagreb escaped invasion. Since this ace shot was fired at noon, a cannon has been fired at that time from the same tower ever since. Sited in the upper town, the tower originally was part of the city’s defences, and later served as a prison. Nowadays, it houses a gallery and an art shop, and the view from the top is well worth the climb.QB/C-2, Strossmayerovo šetalište 9. Open 11:00 - 19:00. Closed Mon. Tomislav Gotovac Footprints Ever wanted to walk in the footsteps of someone famous? Well, with Tomislav Gotovac, Croatian actor, director, and performance artist, you can. On Zagreb’s main street, not a few minutes walk from the main square, you will come across imprints of his feet, placed there in celebration of his piece, “Zagreb, I Love You”, when in 1981 he ran naked down Ilica, kissing the road as he went. It’s unlikely that the locals would look too favourably on a repeat of this famed event by a tourist, but you’ll never know unless you try!QC-2, Ilica 8. Zagreb Welcomes You - Model City It’s been there since last summer, but for all the reconstruction works in the area you can be wholly forgiven for not realising as much. Measuring just under 13 square metres in area, “Zagreb Welcomes You” is a scale model of much of the Croatian capital, and is situated on Bakačeva which is the street leading from the main square, up to Kaptol. The entire piece features over 2500 addresses, and over 400 distinct structures, all cast beautifully in bronze. The south and west facing sides of the model feature short texts referencing the history of Zagreb in both Croatian and English, and they also showcase the original coat of arms of Zagreb and the seal of Kaptol. Also along the base you can see a number of scenes which depict holidays tied to Croatia and the capital. The model was sculpted by Professor Damir Mataušić, and has already ‘replaced’ the clock on Trg Bana Jelačić as the default meeting place for many of the locals.QC-2, Ulica Tome Bakača.

Sightseeing Horrible Histories
Secrets of Grič Archives
Though many travellers consider it an annoyingly necessary pit stop between home and the sunny coast, Zagreb has no shortage of curiosities to take in. We strongly advise you take a seat in the main square, Trg bana Jelačića, to understand the city. It gives you an excellent vantage point from which to observe what life is like in the Croatian capital. If paintings and relics are your thing, it’s got plenty of those too. Crna kraljica (The Black Queen) There are several legends that pass between the generations in Croatia about the Black Queen, but no-one quite knows what the truth is about this mysterious figure. We know that Barbara of Celj was born in 1392 to nobleman Hermann II of Celj. At a young age she was betrothed to the much older King Sigismund of Luxembourg. It seems she was an intelligent and hypnotically beautiful woman who found herself ruling Croatia in her husband’s absence. And here’s where the stories diverge. Was she a merciless ruler, governing with a rod of iron and little pity in her heart? Or was she deeply misunderstood, unpopular simply for being a politically astute woman? On the one hand she is said to have refused water from her plenteous well to her fellow citizens during a drought. On the other she is said to have summoned unearthly forces to create the Plitvice Lakes and bring water to her people. Where does the truth lie? The debate goes on. Grička vještica (The Witch from Grič) Marija Jurić Zagorka (1873-1957) is one of the best-loved Croatian authors as well as one of the first Croatian female journalists. Her tales of old Zagreb are based on historical fact embellished into rich and intriguing tales. Her most popular work is a cycle of seven novels named “The Witch from Grič”. Sadly, none of Zagorka’s novels have been translated into English, but luckily for you, dear readers, we’re here to tell you the tale of Zagreb’s most famous witch. Secrets of Grič Archives
The character was based on a real woman baker in Zagreb, the widow Barica Cindek. She was so appealing as a woman and so successful as a merchant that she attracted the envy of her neighbours and the venom of the men who failed to conquer her. The hordes of men were always milling around her stall on St Mark’s Square. This put poor Barica in court, accused of keeping a devil in her pocket to entice the helpless males. In those days it didn’t take much to be accused of witchcraft, and it was the jealousy of a spurned notary public that almost put a tragic end to Barica’s tale. He and other rejected suitors blackmailed other “witches” to point the finger at Barica in return for their freedom. So Barica found herself imprisoned. However, at that time educated folk were starting to protest against witch-hunts, and Barica was spared being burnt at the stake (this time with the help of the notary who had been paid off by Barica’s lawyer). Zagorka researched real court archives for her story: there were great numbers of women - and men - who were proclaimed in league with the devil by a hysterical and envious society. Although Zagorka herself was born more than a century after the last “witch” was burned at the stake, as the first woman journalist in Croatia she likely felt the same condemnation from society, which is probably why she spoke strongly against discrimination. A true role model, Zagorka is still delighting and inspiring readers today. So, as you walk the quaint streets of Zagreb’s upper town, if you catch the eye of a pretty and successful woman remember the tale of Barica! Krvavi most (Bloody Bridge) In the old days, Zagreb was made up of two settlements, Gradec and Kaptol, set on neighbouring hills with the Medveščak stream dividing them. The inhabitants of the two towns would often get into quarrels and fights, and one of the places where such altercations would take place (often ending up in bloody noses) was the bridge over the Medveščak. Thus the bridge earned its name: Krvavi most (“Bloody Bridge”). The stream was diverted underground and its course paved over when a sewerage system was built, and the bridge, thus useless, was knocked down. But the small and quiet street connecting Radićeva ulica and Tkalčićeva still bears its scary-sounding name.

The Green Horseshoe (Zelena potkova) A forward thinking urban planner by the name of Lenuci came along at the end of 19th Century and was instrumental in creating the so-called Green Horseshoe or Lenuci’s Horseshoe. If you look at the B/C-3/4 region of the map at the back, you’ll see an unmistakable green U-shape that explains the name, famous both for the green spaces and the architecture inside of it. The west leg (B-3) is comprised of three squares: Trg Maršala Tita with the Baroque and unmistakably yellow Croatian National Theatre; Mažuranićev trg and Marulićev trg with beautiful art nouveau buildings, and the State Archives. The southern leg (B/C-4) is entirely comprised of the wonderful Botanical gardens. This glorious return to nature is home to over 10 000 plant species, numerous park benches, lily pads galore and ducks that quack. The east leg (C-3) is also made up of three squares: Trg kralja Tomislava with its Art Pavilion, Strossmayerov trg with the Gallery of Arts and Sciences and finally the glorious Zrinjevac with its exquisite Music Pavilion. This group of squares is worshipped by locals, tourists and animals of all types.QB/C-3/4.
Zagreb’s Solar System The solar system in space? Pah! We’ve got one right here in Zagreb. If you’ve ever wondered what the great big metal ball in Bogovićeva ulica is, the answer is, of course, the sun - a sculpture made by Ivan Kožarić in 1971. In 2004 Davor Preis created a scale model of the solar system around this mighty Sun, including planets at the following urban locations: Mercury - Margaretska 3, Venus - Trg bana Josipa Jelačića 3, Earth - Varšavska 9, Mars - Tkalčićeva 21, Jupiter - Voćarska 71, Saturn - Račićeva 1, Uranus - Siget 9, Neptune - Kozari put, Pluto - Aleja Bologne (underpass). Preis never revealed the locations of the planets, so finding them turned into a game lasting until the last planet was “discovered” in 2006. It’s a great way to get a feel for the dimensions of the solar system and to discover random corners of the city.
Zagreb Mummy Perhaps the most famous relic in Croatia is kept at the Archeological museum. The mummified body from Thebes was bought by Mihael Bari in Egypt in 1848-49, which you may think seems perfectly reasonable, yet the mummy is Etruscan and had no business being across the Mediterranean. The Etruscans controlled large parts of west Italy, including modern day Tuscany, from around 8 to 5 B.C. and only basics of their language, which is pre-indo-European, are understood. The Zagreb Mummy, like many celebrities, is actually more famous for her clothes than her personal talents. After her owner died it was discovered that the bandages the mummy was wrapped in are strips of a book made of linen. This book is the longest preserved text in the Etruscan language and appears to be something similar to a liturgical calendar. The mummy is on permanent display but her bonds are locked away and only revealed to experts.QC-2, Trg Nikole Šubića Zrinskog 19.

Jarun Zagreb’s answer to Palm Beach! Some years ago, a survey to discover what people feel when they hear the name of a given Zagreb district showed that the name ‘Jarun’ awakened feelings of pleasure in most respondents. We strapped on our blades and hotpants, tucked our fluffy dogs under our arms and went to find out why. A man made paradise? Don’t expect glacial beauty. It’s a man made lake. But it is fed by underground springs, so it’s pretty clean - at least until the suntan oil slicks form in July.There are two lakes - big and small, and six islands. The shore of Lake Jarun is regulated by 2500 meters of sandy beach and the entire area is filled with recreational and sports centers connected to kilometres of hiking and biking trails. The north side of the lake is dead straight because of the regatta course. However, we recommend walking around a bit, and you’ll find that it gets really quite pleasant. The small lake in the east has a pebbly beach, swan sanctuary and is fringed by cafes, bars, eating places and clubs. The big lake behind the regatta course even gets pretty wild in places, and one of the islands is devoted to mother nature. And we were really surprised with exactly how much there is to do. Here’s what you can find where. Jarun offers an abundant amount of recreational opportunities: Running, Cycling, Roller Blading There’s a 6km track ‘Janica 2002’ and 1 cycling and roller blading path with a length of 5.5 km right the way round where you can amble, blade or cycle at will, perfecting that tush. Placards bearing stories of ‘Croatian Sporting Greats’, some of whom have spectacular facial topiary, give you all the motivation you need. Swimming Beaches are on the south side, the Univerzijada and Trešnjevka islands and the little lake, and are really quite clean, whatever those picky Dalmatians might say. 50 Zagreb In Your Pocket

Dry land sports As any self-respecting beach zone should, Jarun has sand volleyball courts by the big lake, where there’s also a handball court and football pitches. By both beaches you can also play mini golf, table tennis, skittles and bocce (boćanje). The south beach also has a floodlit skate park with eight ramps and night illumination. There’s a jumping park with all kinds of bouncy things that’ll tire the little monsters out (finally). Kids can enjoy the three available playgrounds (Big Lake, Small Lake, Island of Rowers), and on the Isle of Trešnjevka there is a playground for children with disabilities.For more info call the Jarun info sports section on (+385-1) 642 13 55. And look at www.sportskiobjekti.hr. With the vast range of recreational facilities at Jarun, the icing on the cake is a friendly barbecue or picnic with family and friends one can enjoy with friends. You’ll find small open wooden houses that are ideal for a picnic in the countryside as well as stone barbecues around the Big and Small Lake that will make Fed Flinstone proud. There are numerous artistic, environmental and educational activities such as Litopunktura Zagreb, Zagreb maze, Solar plexus Europe, Multisensory Park, the Wood Theme Park for a new life’. zagreb.inyourpocket.com

TAX VAT in Croatia is generally set at 25% and is due on most goods and services. Lower rates of VAT are applicable to goods such as bread and milk, and the tourism sector. Employers are required to report, withhold and pay authorities all taxes and contributions on behalf of employees for their incomes. Personal income tax on an employee‘s salary is determined at the following rates: 12% for a net income up to 2 200kn, 25% for the difference between net 2 200kn and 8 800kn and 40% for a net income higher than 8 800kn. Thresholds for tax rates are variable, meaning that the law determines them on the basis of the deductions allowed, an amount that changes once a year. City surtax is applicable; Zagreb residents are taxed 18%. 20% of social contributions are withheld from the employee‘s gross income and the employer pays an additional 15.20%. The minimum startup capital for a limited liability company is the counter value in kunas of 20 000kn. A foreign founder deposits the capital into a temporary account with an authorized business bank. Once the company is Croatian registered business, the founder can freely transfer such funds into regular company accounts.
