We made it to Ban Jelacic Square on foot from our hotel. With no map in hand, we asked strangers along the way for directions and the kind residents of Zagreb guided us along.
Ban Jelacic Square was full of activity. There was a group of singers from Macedonia putting on an impromptu performance, but mostly people were in the square just enjoying the beatiful Croatian sun.
Zagreb is relaxed compared to most Capital cities. The people are friendly more than willing to help out a lost tourist. Cafes are very popular in Zagreb, especially ones with outdoor seating. Sitting at an outdoor cafe, drinking a cappuccino, and smoking a cigarette seems to be a great pastime in Zagreb.
I enjoyed the slower pace of life in Zagreb, it's a place that I could easily live for a month or two. The natural beauty of the city almost makes it appear to be a real life Disney World. Except the experience is 100% authentic!
