Gradska kavana

Since the town of Sisak is an typical Central European settlement, it has Gradska kavana (the City Cafe), which is usually situated in the very heart of the town. Here you can meet middle-ages and elder inhabitants of the town spending their free time in sipping a caffee and chating. It is definetely the best place to catch the city news and gossips.

Dress Code: The ordinary city clothes.
