 bow to the king by roza_hr
It has 7% alcohol so go easy on it unless you want to know what's it like to have a Tomislav hangover (not a nice feeling I can assure you!)
Remember the golden rule: never more than 3 Tomislav unless next morning you want to feel like you've been drinking oil or as if there was a party in your mouth and everyone was throwing up. You get the picture.
It is not as widespread as Ozujsko, another famous beer which can be found in virtually any pub or cafe in Croatia, but you can certainly find it in most of the pubs in the centre of Zagreb (at least the good ones).
You can find it bottled (0,5 l) or draught and its price ranges between 10 HRK/1,3 euro (Melin) to 14 HRK/1,8 euro (Kolding). Leave a Comment Directions: Check these places for some good beer: The Tolkien's House, Cvjecarnica, Melin, Portal, Pinta, Dobar Zvuk, Kolding, etc.

...as I know there are a lot of you beer fetishists out there.
So, here are some beers you are likely to find in Zagreb:
Ozujsko - probably the most popular and certainly easiest to get, a lager of good quality available at any pub or a cafe as well as supermarket. Costs usually around 10-12 HRK (1-1.5 euro) and comes draught, bottled or canned as 0,33 l, 0,5 l or even 1 l.
Karlovacko - another popular beer, some say even better than Ozujsko, but it all comes down to a matter of opinion. Not a bad choice anyway. The prices are pretty much the same as for Ozujsko. Plus, it has a handy twist-off cork. There is also a non-alcoholic version available if anyone should be interested (I doubt it though lol)
Pan - now this is what you should watch out for. As a friend put it, Pan is actually a caramel melted in salt water with CO2. Of course there are weirdoes who like it, but from one beer lover to another, I wouldn't recommend it. Price: 12-14 HRK, way too much for this if you ask me.
Stella Artois - actually a Croatian version of a Belgian beer. Always a safe choice, Stella is a popular middle class beer, perfect for girls on a night out and people fancying themselves not every beer is good enough for them. Price: 12-15 HRK (1.5-2 euro) for a 0,33 l bottle, available at most cafes and pubs in the centre.
Tuborg - 'a royal Danish beer' as it says on the label doesn't sound so royal in Croatian version. There is also Tuborg Classic and if you ask me both are just as bad. Price: same as Stella.
Osjecko, Union - um, NO. Leave a Comment

Bozicno - now this is something nice. Available only during winter, Bozicno ('Christmas beer') is a rather fine product of Zagrebacka pivovara, which also makes Ozujsko (and Tomislav too!). It's somewhat heavy but excellent to keep you warm...which is essential when it comes to spending winter in Zagreb. Price: 10-14 HRK, available at some pubs and cafes in the centre.
Izzy - trying to keep up with the image of a party beer, Izzy is actually a Corona rip-off, and not a very successfull one IMHO. There are worse though. Price: 12-16 HRK, available at some pubs and clubs.
Tomislav - well that deserves a category of its own.
Velebitsko - one of the best Croatian beers, available only at certain pubs and cafes. Very good brand, light and fizzy, goes down smoothly, and the price is unbeatable: 9-12 HRK for a 0,5 bottle.
Lasko/Zlatorog - there's light version and a dark one of this Slovenian beer. Dark's not too bad, while you can find much better than the light one.
There is also a number of standard imported beer available - Heineken, Budweiser, Guinness, Kilkenny, Erdinger (beautiful!), Leffe, Bellevue Kriek, Bavaria etc.
Now this is my personal Croatian Top five:
1. Velebitsko
2. Tomislav
3. Bozicno
4. Ozujsko
5. Zlatni medvjed Leave a Comment

 the view from Sljeme by roza_hr
Forest is a fundamental phenomenon of the Natural Park Medvednica, as it covers almost 70% of it. There you can also find special reservations of forest vegetation: beech and fir, chestnut oak, downy oak and black hornbeam.
You can also find refreshment and enjoy the life of a true mountaineer in one of many mountain houses on Medvednica. Leave a Comment

You can get practically everywhere from the Upper Town:
- to Tkalčićeva street: you have to pass St. Mark's church & the Kamenita vrata (Stone doors) which made the city boundary centuries ago), pass Kompatscher's George-killing-the-dragon statue, go 20 m up the street, there's a steep staircase leading you directly to a beer place called Melin, where you can rest your soul. I think Melin's the place with the most people during summer (and other seasons). People just grab a beer or something & talk. Btw., I met a lot of people there... It's rather cheap & pretty close (you can enter it from Tkalčićeva street too - it's on the left - there's a little playground too, hehe).
- take the little streets from St. Mark's church & get into Mesnička street, that'll lead you to Frankopanska, which will lead you on to the Theatre, Mimara a.s.o.
- go upwards from the Main Square, pass the bazaar & get some fruit - it's good for you :)
- check out the Cathedral & St. Frank's church a bit more north. There's a park called Opatovina which leads you to Melin again, so there it is! :)
Basically whichever direction you go, you'll hopefully run into something interesting! Leave a Comment

Zagreb zoo is in a pleasant setting. Although it's not terribly large, there is a good selection of animals. Some enclosure are new and spacious ie for the lynx but others unfortunately still have small concrete pits like for instance the bears. On some enclosures the feeding times are written. The zoo also has a café and a souvenir shop, although the souvenir shop is more a toy shop. Entry fee is 20 Kuna (adult) but on Mondays it's half price.
Currently there is no elephant as the enclosure is under renovation. Leave a Comment Address: inside Maksimir parkDirections: Take tram no. 4, 7, 11 or 12 to the Bukovacka stop (same stop as for the football stadium) and enter Maksimir park and keep to the rightWebsite: www.zoo.hr
