Zagreb, Croatia - virtual tour
There are slides of Ban Jelačić Square, Jarun, Zagreb Art Pavilion, Zagreb Cathedral, St. Mark's Church, etc.
Zagreb is the capital and the largest city of the Republic of Croatia. It is located in the northwest of the country, along the Sava river, at the southern slopes of the Medvednica mountain. Zagreb lies at an elevation of approximately 122 m above sea level. It is the biggest metropolitan area in Croatia, and the only one with a population of over one million.
Zagreb is a city with a rich history dating from the Roman times to the present day. The oldest settlement located in the vicinity of the city was the Roman Andautonia, in today's Ščitarjevo. The name Zagreb is mentioned for the first time in 1094 at the founding of the Zagreb diocese of Kaptol, and Zagreb became a free royal town in 1242, whereas the origin of the name still remains a mystery in spite of several theories. In 1851 Zagreb had its first mayor, Janko Kamauf, and in 1945 it was made the capital of Croatia when the demographic boom and the urban sprawl made the city as it is known today.
Zagreb has a special status in the Republic of Croatia's administrative division and is a consolidated city-county, and is administratively subdivided into 17 city districts, most of them being at low elevation along the river Sava valley, whereas northern and northeastern city districts, such as Podsljeme and Sesvete districts are situated in the foothills of the Sljeme mountain, making the city's geographical image rather diverse. The city extends over 30 kilometres east-west and around 20 kilometres north-south.
The transport connections, concentration of industry, scientific and research institutions and industrial tradition underlie its leading economic position in Croatia. Zagreb is the seat of the central government, administrative bodies and almost all government ministries. Almost all of the largest Croatian companies, media and scientific institutions have their headquarters in the city. Zagreb is the most important transport hub in Croatia where Central Europe, the Mediterranean and Southeast Europe meet, making the Zagreb area the centre of the road, rail and air networks of Croatia. It is a city known for its diverse economy, high quality of living, museums, sporting and entertainment events.

Zagreb has a special status in the Croatia's administrative division and is a consolidated city-county (but separated from Zagreb County), and is administratively subdivided into 17 city districts. Most of them are at a low elevation along the river Sava valley, whereas northern and northeastern city districts, such as Podsljeme and Sesvete districts are situated in the foothills of the Medvednica mountain, making the city's geographical image rather diverse.

Zagreb is an important tourist centre, not only in terms of passengers travelling from the rest of Europe to the Adriatic Sea, but also as a travel destination itself. Since the end of the war, it has attracted close to a million visitors annually, mainly from Austria, Germany and Italy. However, the city has even greater potential as many tourists that visit Croatia skip Zagreb in order to visit the beaches along the Croatian Adriatic coast and old historic Renaissance cities such as Dubrovnik, Split, and Zadar. There are many interesting things for tourists in Zagreb, for example, the two statues of Saint George, one at the Republic of Croatia Square, the other at Kamenita vrata, where the image of Virgin Mary is said to be only thing that hasn't burned in the 17th-century fire. Also, there is an art installation starting in Bogovićeva street, called Nine Views. Most people don't know what the statue Prizemljeno Sunce (The Grounded Sun) is for, and just scrawl graffiti or signatures on it, but it's actually the Sun scaled down, with many planets situated all over Zagreb in scale with the Sun.
The historical part of the city to the north of Ban Jelačić Square is composed of the Gornji Grad and Kaptol, a medieval urban complex of churches, palaces, museums, galleries and government buildings that are popular with tourists on sightseeing tours. The historic district can be reached on foot, starting from Jelačić Square, the centre of Zagreb, or by a funicular on nearby Tomićeva Street. Each Saturday, (from April till the end of September), on St. Mark's Square in the Upper town, tourists can meet members of the Order of The Silver Dragon (Red Srebrnog Zmaja), who reenact famous historical conflicts between Gradec and Kaptol. It's a great opportunity for all visitors to take photographs of authentic and fully functional historical replicas of medieval armour.
Split to Dubrovnik by Bus | Croatia Travel Vlog
Join us as we travel from Split to Dubrovnik by bus as we continue our journey across Croatia. We kick things off with an apartment tour in Split which ended up being our most spacious living space on this entire trip featuring 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 washing machines and a large living room. It was an incredible airbnb apartment with one of the loveliest and most accommodating hosts we've had in a long time:
Split Apartment:
Discount Code:
In terms of the bus ride it cost the equivalent of 16 Euros in local Croatian Kuna. The ride itself took 4.5 hours and was one of the most visually stunning bus trips we've ever taken. It was more like a sightseeing tour and to be honest I could have kept on going. Upon arriving at our apartment in Dubrovnik we show you the views of the Old Town before saying goodbye.

How was it going to the barber in Croatia? Oh, it was awesome. These guys were true professionals. Yeah. Like these older gentlemen they wore like white it was almost like lab coats and they took their job seriously. They did a great job like I really like what they did they even put a little bit of cream around the sides and they were using their razors, splashing some alcohol on after. Like these guys knew what they were doing. So you got pampered. Yeah it was a really good price I think it was 5 or 6 Euros or something like that. Oh nice. In local currency it was 40 Kuna. I remember now. Anyways today is a travel day. We haven't didn't spend much time in Split. We only had 4 nights here. Mmmhmm. Um and so we're moving on to Dubrovnik. Mmmhmm. Really excited about that. This is the one city in Croatia that we really really want to visit. Yeah. Everyone raves about it. Everyone raves about it.

Zagreb - Advent Croatia
Zagreb - Advent Croatia
Once upon a time, one of Croatia’s best kept secrets was that her capital city Zagreb had one of the best Advent scenes in Europe. Now, this Croatian secret is out because, Zagreb was voted the best Christmas market in Europe by European Best Destinations’ online poll. Real votes from real people.
Advent in Zagreb has a programme packed with events, concerts and food specialities - think twinkling candlelight, colourful displays, festive food and drink, concerts, choirs and much more.
Not to be missed are:
Ban Josip Jelačić Square – the huge main square sparkles brightly with music and concerts on an open air stage, food marquees and a children’s programme. There’s a huge Christmas tree, the fountain is transformed into a light display and there is a cosy, heated, covered conservatory serving food and drinks. On weekdays and at weekends there is live music.
Fooling around - an innovative and modern cultural and gastronomic event during the Advent season, with a recognizable design and a relaxed atmosphere.
European Square – pedestrian zone in the very heart of the city offers a vivacious Advent event: souvenir and Christmas decorations market, a selection of food and beverages and music events in the evening
Zrinjevac Park – one of the loveliest spots in Zagreb. Lanterns light up the avenues of trees and the old music pavilion looks like a little glittering palace. Artists’ stalls and a great selection of traditional Christmas gifts, Christmas food and drink specialities from decorated tiny wooden huts. This is the spot to experience Zagreb winter specialities including baked štrukle, a warm baked pastry dish with soft cheese. There is mulled wine, hot chocolate and special Christmas cookies. Live music here is every evening and also in the morning at weekends.
Ice Park on King Tomislav Square – A Christmas fairy tale awaits you in one of Zagreb’s most beautiful parks – ice skating rink, selected food and beverages, as well as music events. This is the place to watch people skating and having fun. Visitors are encouraged to join in!
Special Tours – there are plenty of ways to discover Advent in Zagreb with some innovative tours. For those who like to discover everything on your own – there’s the Zagreb Be There – Advent Path. With the help of your smart phones you can now embark on a tour of the most interesting Advent events in Zagreb. As you follow this route, make the most of your visit to Zagreb and if you check-in on most of the locations using #BeThereZagreb - special rewards await you!
Shopping – if you visit Zagreb before Christmas, this is a good place to pick up presents to take home. Shops in the capital feature most international brand names, usually representing savings on UK prices. Many hotels offer special Advent deals representing savings on normal hotel rates.
As so many European capitals are overcrowded and overpriced in the run-up to Christmas, Advent in Zagreb offers room to move and value for money. Croatia’s capital sparkles at Advent time and it is your time to come and join the thousands of visitors who experience award winning Zagreb!

Guys so the food has arrived. So so quickly. I think they just threw in our pizza as soon as we ordered it and check it out. This one is the frutti di mare. The seafood one. And honestly I'm going to have to read the ingredients because there is so many that I don't even remember. Yeah. There is a lot going on. So frutti di mare. This one has tomato, cheese, scampi. I don't know what scampi is. Mussels, tuna, salted sardines, squid and garlic. And cheese. Did I also say cheese? It has got lots of cheese.

Balkan Food Review - Our first impressions trying Bosnian Food in Ljubljana, Slovenia
Come join us for a Balkan Food Review in Ljubljana, Slovenia at restaurant Čevabdžinica Sarajevo '84 as we share our impressions trying Bosnian food for the first time. One of the most exciting things for us as we travel through Slovenia and down to Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro is that we'll have ample opportunity to try many different kinds of Balkan food for the first time. Our overall impressions of Bosnian food at this restaurant is that we loved it and want to try even more. With Mostar as a confirmed destination we'll be visiting in the near future we're keen to sample as many things as possible.
Balkan Food List: (Bosnian Cuisine that we tried)
1) Bosnian red wine: rdeče vino blatina
2) Bosnian beans and sausages: prebranec s sudžukico
3) Bosnian pita and meat: čevapčiči
4) Bosnian stuffed red pepper: pečena paprika
5) Bosnian cheese bread rolls: bosanske pide or burek
6) Bosnian dessert: tufahija

Balkan Food Review - Our first impressions trying Bosnian Food in Ljubljana, Slovenia Video Transcript:
It is time for lunch. We are still here in Ljubljana and today we've decided to have Balkan cuisine. We found a restaurant called Sarajevo 84. Apparently it specializes in Bosnian food and have we already mentioned that we're kicking off our trip through the Balkans in about a week's time. Hmmm. Haha.
Now would be a good time to mention it. It is a good way to announce it with Balkan food. I can't say I've ever had Balkan food before. I don't really know what to expect but I've been like glancing over at other people's plates and you know nearby tables and everything looks really good. It looks like it is meat heavy. Lots of bread. We've ordered I think like 5 different dishes and we'll see what arrives because we didn't even know what the names meant.
The wine is here and Sam is having the Rdeče Vino Blatina I believe.
This is the one dish I really wanted to try. It is basically beans and sausages served in a ceramic bowl.Let me find it on the menu first. I believe it is prebranec s sudžukico. Either way it is beans and sausage.
This next one may be called čevapčiči or something similar. Yeah. And check it out. It is basically grilled meat rolls in a flatbread. Alright, time to take a bite of this and I like to eat with my hands.
Moving on to dish number three. We've got ourselves some roasted red peppers and I believe this is called pečena paprika maybe. Let's hope I got that right.
And yeah, it looks like it has got some chunks of garlic there. That looks really good. That is really nicely presented I have to say.
This right here would be the Bosanske Pide which means which is the Bosnian pide. Yes. The Bosnian bread. And we ordered the one with cheese. Oh yeah. And this is very different from the Turkish one we've tried because the Turkish one is shaped more actually it is shaped more like the serving plate. Yeah. Whereas this one is very much round. Yeah. .And these are also wow they're thick.
Dessert is here. We have ordered the tufahija which is an apple and nut dessert. Though right now it is covered in whipped cream.
Time for price point. It came to 23 Euros just slightly over 23 Euros. And that included five food items and two drinks so 7 things in total. I think that was like outstanding value. I would agree. It was really good food & good quality. We're really full so that is a sign of a good meal. We'd recommend coming here for sure.

Slovenian Food Review - Trying traditional Slovenian dishes in Ljubljana, Slovenia Travel Video Transcript:
Well hello hello and welcome to another food video. Today we're having lunch here in Ljubljana so we figured we need to show you what Slovenian food is all about. Now I've never had Slovenian food before ever because I don't think it is really popular outside of Europe but um Sam brought us to Allegria. He spotted this place yesterday so we are here. We've ordered our wine. We've got our basket of bread so let's get to it.
Sam and I both got the same red wine. And what is the biggest surprise with this? Yes, the local red. Biggest surprise is now that we've had two restaurant meals here in Ljubljana is that they typically serve the red wine chilled.
The food arrived pretty quickly so let me show you my dish first. I ordered the grilled Slovenian sausage (kranjska klobasa) with sauerkraut or cabbage and this kind of like purple-y potato so let's just dig right in. Look it is like a double sausage actually. It looks big. Let's divide it. Big and juicy.
It is a really nice way to be starting our Slovenian cuisine experience. Yeah, and now we're moving on to what Sam ordered.
Sam is going in for the Idrijski žlikrofi I believe it is called.
Yes. We could totally be butchering it. And inside is basically pork, herbs and onions.
And it comes with a lamb ragout. It looks so good. I'm making sure to get a bit of lamb.
This is just so good. Such hearty food. Yeah? Again not spicy at all though. It is just like kind of that comfort savory food. And I really like the pasta. It is actually quite densely stuffed.
Well dessert has arrived. It sure has. Here before us we have a traditional Slovenian dessert (prekmurska gibanica) whose name I cannot pronounce. But I can tell you the ingredients. It is basically kind of like a puffed pastry like with lots of little crispy layers and inside it has apples, cottage cheese, walnuts and sometimes it can have raisins. It also has poppyseed and it has all been dusted with a little bit of icing sugar.
Another very filling meal here in Ljubljana, Slovenia. I have to say.. And in terms of price point that came to 28 Euros so that included two glasses of red wine, two mains and a dessert to share. It is packed outside and it is packed inside so it is a great restaurant. I'd highly recommend coming here in Ljubljana.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Bosnian Food Review - 5 Things to try in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina Travel Video Transcript:
Well hello there! We managed to find a really cool restaurant and we're going to go film there today. The rain hasn't stopped but it is a little bit lighter so we're going to make our way there and yeah show you what Bosnian and Herzegovina food is all about.
I'm very excited to be trying Bosnian coffee. Oh yeah. This is my very 1st time to try it. Apparently it is very similar to Turkish coffee. Super strong. It is supposed to be very strong. The grounds apparently are uh the coffee grounds are still at the very bottom. Yeah, so they're not filtered. They are not filtered out of the water so you have to let them yep settle before you pour yourself a cup.
It is nice and strong.
Also I feel like I should mention where we are eating because we kind of just ran in here with our umbrellas and didn't really show you the outside. It is called Šadrvan and it is on the west side of the river just as soon as you cross the bridge.
The feast has landed on the table. It sure has. And we're going to start with the first dish which is Dolma. Yeah. And if you have a closer look at this it is basically stuffed peppers with minced meat, rice, parsley, onions and it comes with a giant dollop of cream in the middle. A giant dollop.
This is kind of the ultimate mix plate with tonnes of sour cream. Sour cream. So then you have another one dolma stuffed pepper over there. One dolma.
What is really cool over here is you have it looks like some stewed meat. It is so tender I had that last night. And then you have the Bosnian cookies which is not a cookie at all.
So what is in it? I had this last night and it is basically like a beef patty. Right. So it made with ground beef, eggs, garlic, I think onions and like a little bit of breadcrumbs to give it texture along with rice.
Okay dish number 3. This isn't actually a main. This was our side order. Yeah. And we were trying to keep things relatively healthy. Yeah. So we got a grilled vegetable platter. So if you take a closer look we've got some slices of eggplant, zucchini. We have some mushrooms. It looks like another whole pepper.
And now for dessert and we're having Baklava. It is basically kind of like a mille feux pastry. Like a puffed pastry with all of these layers. And in between you've got like these finely chopped nuts. Yeah. With either honey or some kind of sugary syrup.
We just paid the bill. We sure did. What was the damage? So in local currency which is Bosnian Convertible Marka which has like I think 1.6 exchange rate with the US dollar. That came to twenty two US dollars and fifty cents and in Euros that was 19.40.
We'd give it a five out of five. We'll be back again. Tata!

Bosnian Cuisine - Trying Traditional Dishes in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina Travel Video Transcript:
It is time for another food video here in Mostar. Yesterday when we went for a walk late at night we spotted this restaurant. it is right by the crooked bridge next to the river. it looked so cool and cozy. They have a fireplace and yeah we were like we need to come back. So we were in the area today just doing some sightseeing and it is right around lunch. We got hungry and we're like yeah let's eat here. So here we are. It is called Konoba Taurus.
The food has arrived at the table and we have this massive platter in front of us and it looks so good. So I'm just going to read off of the menu to let you know everything we got because it has all been served together. Yeah. And wow. Okay, so the first thing we ordered was the Mostarski Sahan which includes stuffed peppers (punjene paprike), stuffed courgettes (punjene tikvice) which I believe is that zucchini is that just a different word for zucchini? And stuffed onions (sogan dolma). And then aside from that we also asked for what else did we get? The Cufte. Kofte. Cufte? Something like that um which are the meatballs and then we also got something called Japrak which are the stuffed vine leaves. And oh man this is just like steaming in front of us can you and the aromas are tantalizing.
as you can probably tell it is time for dessert. We ordered two different ones. Let me tell you what they are.
So the first one I believe is called Hurmasica but I'm kind of whispering it so you know the locals won't hear me and be like haha she can't say it. Um and that is the coconut finger which I believe is this one.
And then the other one is called Smokvara. Smokvara? Okay. Something like that. And this one is the fig dessert. Yeah. So also we've got some tea. Oh yeah, we got chai. It is Sepak. I believe. It looks like a red berry. Yeah.
Never tried that before.
It is time for price point. So in local currency which by the way is called BAM. Bosnian Convertible Marka that came to 36 which is 21.40 US dollars or 18.40 Euros or 16.31 Great British Pounds. Alright look at you covering all of the currencies. Yeah. I thought that was uh a steal of a meal in terms of value. Wonderful. We got a one litre sparkling water which we didn't show you that enormous plate that included three mains. Uh complimentary bread, two desserts and two teas for that price. So yeah. It doesn't get too much better than that and with a setting like this and with a meal that was that filling and that satisfying highly recommend going there for sure.

Welsh Food - 4 Things to Eat Taste Test in Cardiff, Wales
Join us at Y Mochyn Du pub in Cardiff, Wales as we explore Welsh Food for the first time sampling 4 different things to eat in this taste test. We started off with local Welsh beer and tea while ordering two different starters, a main dish and dessert to share between the two of us. The 4 different food items we tried were as follows:
1) Cawl (traditional Welsh soup)
2) Welsh Rarebit (melted cheese on sliced toast)
3) Faggots, gravy, mashed potatoes and peas
4) Rhubarb Crumble (sweet dessert with fruit)
All of it was delicious and to be honest the starters were the size of mains and we ended up feeling rather stuffed by the end of the meal. The portions at this pub are very generous.

Welsh Food - 4 Things to Eat in Cardiff, Wales travel and cuisine video transcript:
It is lunchtime here in Cardiff and we found a little pub that is called Y Mochyn Du I think. Welsh is a very complicated language. We've been here like almost a week and we haven't really tried Welsh food yet aside from Welsh cakes so we're like alright it is time to see what Welsh food is all about.
We've been sick and haven't been doing a whole lot.
We ordered two starters, one main, dessert, Sam got a pint. We're going to be sampling all things Welsh. Welsh food. All of it is local this is basically a Welsh food taste test.
Alright Sam, so I'm starting off with a pint. A pint. So this is I think uh Cwrw Y Mochyn Du. This is the local red ale beer and I'm so excited to try this.
And we think Cwrw means bore. It has a picture of a black pig. This is really nice beer. It has that kind of like craft beer taste.
Well, well for our appetizer we're starting off with the National Dish of Wales. We are having Cawl and when Sam ordered this he was like I'll have a bowl of Cawl.
This is kind of like a soup. What is here? Slash stew. I was reading about it online and it can have different ingredients.
So the classic usually has lamb and leeks but it can also have beef and potatoes, carrots like different seasonal vegetables. So yeah, this one has potato and carrots. I don't know if this is lamb or beef yet.
Okay, what is your appetizer? So next up we're having Welsh Rarebit. Not rabbit. Rarebit. Rarebit. I can assure you there is no rabbit in here. No rabbit. Basically it is kind of it looks like a gourmet piece of toast with cheese and bacon. Cheese melted over top.
It can be cheese or a cheese sauce apparently. I'm not sure if it is cheese or a cheese sauce. It could be maybe it is both. And it came with a little side salad and something to dip I think. I'm going to dip it in.
That is so good. The cheese is like it is really it has like kind of a creamy consistency. Mmmm. It is so tasty. You know I read that sometimes it can have Béchamel sauce.
Going in for the Welsh Rarebit not rabbit. Look at the cheese it is just melting off.
The main dish has arrived so this is Welsh Faggots and mushy peas and we have two giant like these are minced meat balls and apparently they have um lamb in them. Over here you can obviously see the mushy peas, you can see the mashed potatoes. Lots of onion gravy.
We were asking the bartender what is the most typical dessert we could order at a Welsh pub? And he was like Rhubarb crumble.
Anyways, on to price point. In total that came to 26 Quid and that included the two drinks, the pint. And the tea. The two appetizers which were more like mains. The main which was like a massive main and then an enormous dessert to share. It was 13 per person and we're leaving very full, very satisfied and we really enjoyed Welsh food and we would highly recommend you to try all of these dishes if you're visiting Wales.
