Hudi Bitek Travel Guide

 diocletianvs Says:  Siget is not only Super Andrija. These five buildings on the southern edge of Siget are also a symbol of this neighbourhood. Their relationship is something that you can’t miss when you approach Zagreb from the south. And since they are located next to the main city... 

 diocletianvs Says:  Of course, there was a price to be paid for the large park of Travno. The program still had to house 10,000 inhabitants. Almost all the buildings in Travno had their names assigned by architects, and the most western one was named Tratincica (Daisy). But soon after it was... 

 sabsi Says:  Utrina was built after Zapruðe and the architects learnt from their mistakes. There are much more different types of buildings here, flats are better and there's different sizes of flats available. As Zapruðe - which is just across the road - has a supermarket, Utrina got a... 

 sabsi Says:  Zapruðe was Novi Zagreb's first neighbourhood and its flats are the smallest and quality is lowest. I still liked it best of the ones I saw I think.The neighbourhood has only the different types of buildings, 8 storey buildings in north-south direction, 4 storey buildings in... 

 sabsi Says:  Underpassages connect the different neighbourhoods of Novi Zagreb so that traffic can flow. Again in Germany I would expect basically anything here and would try to avoid these places. The one we walked through in Novi Zagreb (the one between Zapruðe and Utrina) was very... 

 sabsi Says:  There are small parks everywhere in Novi Zagreb. You never live too close to your neighbours and there's always some green in front of your windows or near it. In Travno there's the biggest park right next to Mamutica. We didn't have time to see Park Mladenaca. In this park... 

 sabsi Says:  We went into one of the entrances of Mamutica and took the elevator up to the top floor. From here you could have a nice view over the neighbourhoods of Novi Zagreb. As it was getting dark and foggy when we were there we didn't see much unfortunately. But if you happen to... 

 sabsi Says:  There are several tram lines that go to Novi Zagreb, you can take numbers 6, 7, 8 or 14. The trip across the river only takes something like 10 minutes from the main square and trams run frequently (so we've heard during our tour waiting for one for ages ;). 

 diocletianvs Says:  At the corner of Avenija Dubrovnik and Avenija Veceslava Holjevca there's this funny looking department store that now houses Tepih Centar (Carpet Center). On the other side of Avenija Dubrovnik, a former USA pavillion of the Zagreb Fair is turned into Tepih Land shop... 

 sabsi Says:  People who live in Novi Zagreb are very proud of their neighbourhoods, e.g. Zapruðe had an official website before Zagreb had one. As in socialist times people were given a flat and couldn't choose where they wanted to move mostly young families moved here in the 60s. Today... 

 diocletianvs Says:  In the mid-1980s Zagreb became jealous of Novi Zagreb and they decided to invest a lot in the making of Jarun lake, on the other side of Sava. (Well, this is my version of the story, anyway). So Jarun became a popular spot for sports and nightlife, and Bundek became... 

 diocletianvs Says:  Sava was once the northern border line of Napoleon’s provinces. At the end of Savski most (Sava bridge – the oldest bridge close to Jadranski most) as you cross Sava and arrive to Novi Zagreb side there's this small obelisk sayingFrontiere des provinces Illyriennes au temps...
