 "Kudos to Dave for perceiving a need in Zagreb for a good central backpackers' and creating an ideal one to meet that need. This is a small, friendly hostel, spotlessly clean, and brand-new, and I absolutely loved it! The dorms are in an upstairs loft that has a friendly feel to it. On the first night they were full, but Dave offered me a mattress on the floor for a cheaper price and it was...
 "The Location A new kid on the block, Carpe Diem Hostel is run by a team of young and passionate people who believe in creating a lifestyle, not just a business. Situated in the leafy burbs of Zagreb, it is a ten-minute walk from the main square (Trg Ban Jelacic), passing Zagreb Cathedral, bars, restaurants, and supermarkets. The hostel's website has detailed directions for you to follow, so...
 "The location is convenient enough, being under 10 minutes from the train station and just down the block from a market. It's another 10-minute walk to the city center. There are keys for 24 hour access and luggage storage for after you check out (9am!). The place seems a bit like an old hotel, the key word being old, with no real common room. The owners can be helpful when they want to be,...
 "This must be the best hostel in Zagreb. The facilities are fabulous, the beds are comfortable, and the atmosphere is relaxed. And it's not THAT far away from the center of town...only an easy 20-minute tram ride. I heartily recommend it." … "What a great hostel! It was very clean, and the beds were so comfortable, I didn't want to get up every day! The description makes it sound like it's...
 "Friendly, clean, all-around great hostel - We actually booked at another hostel which accidentally overbooked us, and we were sent here instead. And I'm glad we were! The location was conveniently close to a tram stop which led right into the city center pretty quickly, and the staff was wonderfully helpful and friendly. The rooms were clean, and the mattresses were the nicest I've ever...
 "This is a great hostel! Ilana and Marco make you feel like a guest in their home. This place is very clean and has comfortable beds. The only reason that I didn't give them five stars is because they don't have internet use as of yet and they aren't in the center of town. They are however in a quiet residential neighborhood and are only five to ten minutes away from the train station by tram....

We are located in a quiet residential area of Zagreb but just around the corner from the second biggest square in Zagreb. We are only a 15 minute walk from the main bus station, 15 minutes walk from Main Square and a 20 minute walk from main train station which puts our hostel in a perfect location for the public transport system.Buzz is a fun laid back, comfortable, clean and modern place...
Everything in our accommodation is made with lots of love and effort. We cannot promise you that Zagreb city will be as you expect, but it’s an undiscovered city that clashes with rich history of western and Eastern Europe. Our hostel is young only one year old, so everything is new and very clean. It’s not a big hostel it’s not a wild hostel but it has that something. It’s good place to rest...
 "This place is great. The owners know what a backpacker wants -- beer, internet, and bed. It's very reasonably priced but they need to get premiership football sorted so we can all watch it." … "The internet was free and the kitchen and beds were ok, but the bathrooms were pretty grody. Since they have a lockout you would think that they bathrooms wouldn't be so gross but still they were!...


Zagreb Travel Tips & Suggestions

Comment by anna
I just went to Zagreb for some cheap dental work as it's about less than half the price in the U.K. The local bread and cheese are very good, and the seafood is nearly the best in Europe and very cheap. Cheap accommodation is scarce but it's a beautiful city for a long weekend.
Comment by andrew.cardiff
I have traveled through Europe a few times over and Zagreb will always remain my favourite city -- the people, weather, and the nightlife is superb. It's uncomplicated and great fun, however, accommodation is a major headache.

You cannot stay one weekend in Zagreb and think that you can have your own complete opinion 'cause...you haven't seen it all. I have lived in Croatia for 21 years and I'm still exploring and finding something every year that I didn't know that we had! For staying in Zagreb, in my opinion the most important thing is to meet and get friendly with somebody smart from Zagreb. Because you can spend a fortune here, or you can spend very little money. I know a lot of people who actually LIVE IN Zagreb and can give you the right answer about things like: where is good blues/rock'n roll club, where I can eat the best "chevapi," where is the best cheap beer?
Comment by Steve
I was sguck in Zagreb for 6days, however in my time there I fell in love with the city. The old town matches many of the more popular cities in Europe and the quality for the money you put in is great. The food is very good and nighlife is fantastic. My recomendations would be to go to the Jazz bar - great live music and the most friendly of clubs ive ever been to. Also try a day trip to Krapina or Trakoscanwhere youll be delighted by the views of the lakes and the history of mankind! I would also recommend taking in a football match while your there - the crowds chant some amazing things and you'll be left speechless by the end of it!
Comment by Chris
While it might be a difficult city to fly into, once you are there you definitely know it has been worth the journey. The architecture, the laid back atmosphere, the outstanding food, the friendly locals... Zagreb's really a stunning place that so many people overlook when travelling around Europe! And it doesn't break the bank either, unlike many European cities. I know I will be back on my next travels!
Comment by Bart Groen
Zagreb is a great city, let's hope not too many people discover it! It is a proud city with beautiful proud people. Only on my third visit did I discover there was an entire old city hidden away behing the main square. Simply stunning. Driving north towards Hungary you find yourself travelling along a windy fairy tale of a road, between tall trees - a moving experience!

Zagreb is one of the prettiest cities I have ever been to. I have lived there for nine years and I can assure you that you cannot see all it has to offer in two days. People there are friendly and if you get acquainted with someone who lives there they can introduce Zagreb to you. From parks to museums and even pastry shops, it is amazing, and if you are young and like to have fun, night life in Zagreb can be very satisfying. All you can do there is relax and have fun, I know I will when I go this summer there.
Comment by Josh
Zagreb is the capital of Croatia, but it has a small-town feel. It's very easy to get around and is one of the most relaxed capitals in Europe. Unless you're here to live the life, however, the sights of Zagreb can be done in a day (2 days including the museums).
