Your Zagreb guru guide, Marina
Hello to every impassioned traveler! I'm Ivana from Zagreb, Croatia 🙂 I love to travel and so far I've visited many countries and different places. I could say travelling is my passion.
I was born in Zagreb and I'm always so happy when I'm coming back to my hometown. Zagreb is our capital and the interesting fact is that it's divided into ancient and modern parts.
You will discover the upper part where you really feel like you were far away from the center and going in the lower part you feel all the turbulence of the city walking between beautiful green trees.
I want every one of you to feel that special spirit that Zagreb has and wish to come back again 🙂
