Fall means not the
end of fun in Zagreb

on Facebook
agreb fall - from end of summer to Christmastime - is
all fun and games. Just look at this issue of Zagreb for
You: from busy Zagreb marathons or 13 days of Halloween
(page 2), buzz on the Medvednica mountain or at the
Zagreb Film Festival (page 3) to the bustling Martićeva,
Tomićeva and Tkalčićeva streets. The action never stops.
And it’s nowhere near Advent yet...
MIDDAY
TAKE-OFF
Find yourself
in Zagreb
unprepared at
noon sharp and
you’ll get a fright
of your life or at
least a serious
shake-up and
startle. Every day,
midday is marked
by a 130dB loud
cannon fire going
off from the
Lotrščak Tower.
Though a tradition since 1877,
the Grič cannon
still startles
both locals and
visitors who think
there’s a jet plane
taking off near
them. Lotrščak
Tower was part
of Zagreb’s medieval defense,
ringing the bells
each night before
the town gates
closed. Over
time, it played
multiple roles – it
was a chapel,
army arsenal,
town winery and
fire observatory.
Climb up to
the top for a
stunning vista of
the city.

t will soon start to rain. I’ll
pull out my rain boots, the
pile of umbrellas to color-match
my clothes, rummage through
drawers for light sweaters... I’ll
start to sip my morning macchiato
indoors. The air will smell of plane
trees. Chestnut vendors will
roast their brown treats on street
corners, and each one I pass, I’ll
remember how my late father
loved them.

love Zagreb when it rains. And
I love it when sun appears
through a crack in the clouds one
fall afternoon, and then it hits
puddles of water collected in the
creases of broken asphalt, and
suddenly it’s all shining, the city
is so pretty and it feels as if never
ever rained.
F
all is face time with Zagreb. It’s
when the city shows its true
temperamental self. If you happen
to be around, give it time to take in
the highs and the lows, the downpours and the sun. It’s the pairing
that will stick even after you leave,
Zagreb’s yin and yang.

of the Black Queen. This ruthless
sorcerer would send her giant
raven to peck peasants to near

auba – the self-dubbed ‘house

former Austro-Hungarian riding
stable turned contemporary art
showroom. Tucked away in an
industrial stretch of western Zagreb, this one-of-a-kind building
tends to art in a way-out way.
Here, the showroom is called
playroom and visitors usually become devoted members. Lauba’s
monumental open space gets you
up close and personal with art:
you can touch exhibits, and follow dance performers. A hybrid
between a gallery and a museum,
this vibrant hub gathers art-makers and art-lovers, who mingle
over coffee and wine.

Food, fun & design on Martićeva street
M
artićeva is booming. A 10-minute stroll eastbound
of the main square, this street has two brand-new
openings. An oldtimer, Divas cafe has a living room with a
twist ambience, plus great coffee and homemade cakes. If
you’re after a lunch bite, head further down the street to the
recently unveiled Divas Bistro (Martićeva 14F). Less camp
than its sister cafe, the bistro has a daily menu of simple but
delicious grub – think prawn quiche and chickpea stews. The
interior is airy and artsy, light and bright, with quirky details.
roatian Design Superstore showcases work by local designers. Grab ‘Croatia a la carte’ (cookbook and a game)
or Boya crayons as souvenirs from your travels. If you get

Design Superstore’s very own take-out

the most discerning palate, not so easy to

ZAGREB... I love fall. It’s
still warm enough to
spend time outside so I
have lunch at Zrno vegetarian bistro, dinner
at Mundoaka, a drink
with friends in Melin

cake at Fine Torte...
Medvednica, the mountain behind Zagreb, is
the most beautiful this
time of year with leaves
turning yellow, red and
orange. I like to hike up
and reward myself with
a homemade walnut
cake at Puntijarka

up for a drink at the cozy & beautiful
Black Velvet café when it’s raining outside. For great food, I love Mali Bar with
a cute interior and tasty tapas made with
fresh seasonal ingredients. It’s fun to
share different dishes with friends. Love
their homemade pastas and creative salads. Sometimes I’ll catch a movie in Kino
Europa or the Kaptol Centar multiplex. ZAGREB’S BEST YOGA DROP-INS... Clearly, Sangha
Yoga, just up from the main square on
beautiful Radićeva street. :) If you’re into
Ashtanga, GaiaYoga or Pink Elephant
are both great options. If aerial yoga is
your thing, head to Velvet Pepper studio.
For Dharma yoga, Divya is a good option.

Homecoming
I
love autumn generally … but I
can’t wait for it in Zagreb.
It’s not just the weather. Though
it is great in the Croatian
capital. There’s a crispness that
accompanies its continental location and the leafy parks scattered across town and the men
starting to roast chestnuts on
street corners in the city leaning
up and into the Dinaric Alps.
It sure isn’t because school is
starting back. I couldn’t stand
school as a student. How I
graduated from high school,
college or anything else is a
mystery. Though I have to admit
I liked the first week of school.
Something like a new beginning
mixed with beer and girls. In
Zagreb, essentially, I have the
start of a new academic cycle
without having to attend classes. Odlično.
t isn’t only because of the
food—white truffles, olive oil,
and the excitement of the grape
harvest. Though the regions to
the east (Slavonia), west (Istria),
and south (Dalmatia) are better
known for wine, it is in Croatia’s
main city that I have opened
the majority of the bottles I’ve
emptied in the country.
o, it isn’t one of these things.
It is all of them. And, the
fact that Zagreb’s residents are
returning with stories of the sea
and a genuine excitement to be
back—a homecoming. Sweaters
on. Coffees in hand. The long autumn afternoon light stretching
down Ilica.

Grič tunnel is among the many hidden underground tunnels that run beneath Zagreb’s
Upper Town. Few people have seen these mysterious passages but hush-hush stories about
them abound. This year, Zagreb’s mayor visited the Grič tunnel and publicly announced: the
tunnel will become a unique 21st-century walking tour showcasing a multi-sensory experience
using advanced digital technology.

The tunnel was
built in 1943 as an
air raid shelter.
It served its
original
purpose once
again during the
1990s war. It has
been closed ever
since, which
created a cloud of
mystery around it.
Museum of the Senses is slated
to open in 2016 and promises to be
Europe’s one-of-a-kind tourist
attraction. It will feature permanent
exhibitions, concerts, an alternative
city promenade, holograms and

Grič tunnel runs parallel to

but a house of the dead.

secrets is now open”

Why
I love fall
A
fter a long and hot
summer you get pretty
exhausted being sweaty,
looking for a place in the
shade while drinking your
bottled water and praying
for some rain. That time has
come, my favorite time of
year. Believe it or not, it’s fall.
I love the yellow and brown
leaves, the rain, sipping on
a hot green tea.... Imagine a
great bar with soul and funk
music playing while you look
out the window watching the
rain fall and all imaginable
colors of umbrellas mixing
and creating a 60’s LSD-influenced video. Cafe terraces
are empty and everybody is
searching for hidden booths
in packed bars.
he concert season kicks
off and you get to catch
some really interesting bands,
shows, stand-ups and plays.
Restaurants are full again,
suits are back in town and you
get to see business deals being
made. Zagreb is alive!
es sure, you spend more
time in your car, and you
sure dislike driving in pouring rain. But I am sure you
appreciate lazy Sundays while
raindrops play drums on your
window. A lot of people complain about the weather. But
if you love life, no weather can
spoil your day. Nothing can
spoil my fall in Zagreb. Zagreb
is THE place for fall. Enjoy it
before you start to miss that
blanket of leaves beneath
your feet.

eveybody likes
ćevapi: a grilled

it’s been slightly

be: the interior

legendary. Stick

FOR SMOKERS
Many cafes, bars
and clubs tolerate
smokers but where
it says smoking is
prohibited, take
your smoke outside.
RENT YOUR OWN
TWO WHEELS
Bikes can be rented
at 13 locations around
the city, half of which

(and up to 24 hours) goes
for 79KN.
