... and how I got there...
I must admit, Zagreb was never on my “must visit” list, mainly because of the recent past and ugly war that happened in Balkans. And there was a slight amount of fear that someone might look at me in a wrong way, or say something bad since I’m coming from Serbia...
But, I was soooooooo wrong!!!!!!!
Planning my trip to London, I found a really cheap flight from Zagreb and decided to take a chance! So I arrived in the early morning and had the chance to explore the city for 7 hours, which of course wasn’t enough! I didn’t really know what to expect when I got there, I heard nice stories from my dad about his student days in Zagreb, but honestly I was really blown away with Zagreb and its beauty!
Of course, I mustn’t forget to say… All the people I met and talked to along the way, were so nice and friendly :)
And my special thanks goes to VT member Niksa (Diocletianvs), who showed me around and gave me same great advices about what places to see! So thank you so much Niksa! :)
