Wonderful trip. Croatia is just amazing. Landscape and esp. the Dalmatian coast are stunning, the villages, towns and cities lovely, the food was delicious and the wines were so so good.
Zagreb really is a cool town, isn't it?

Seems like a cool trip, never went to the South part, that will be another journey with Split, Dubrovnik, Zadar etc! but went to Italy (Venice and Trieste) and Slovenia (Ljubljana and Postojna). Yes, Zagreb is such a cool city, it has both the historical streets with lanes and churches, and modern boulevards, with tall highrises, and a nice skyline. It is also nice that it is surrounded by mountains. And it just have tons of museums, most of them were clsoed after the earthquake, and problably also becuase of covid, but the weather was great so I still think the three museums we visited were enough. The only thing I miss is water, except for the Sava River, that is really in the outskirts, there is not much water lake canals or lakes.
I would prefer to live in the old part, or the central parts of Lower Town.
