Zagreb Food & Souvenir Guide 🇭🇷😋🎁

Though Croatia's capital, Zagreb feels charmingly compact—walkable attractions and surprisingly affordable (a breath of fresh air for UK travelers!). 🏨 Stay Zagreb Sleep & Eat Budget-friendly with spacious rooms + huge kitchen/living area (no elevator though!). 🏙️ Must-See Spots 🚡 Shortest Funicular in the World – Iconic 66-second ride! ⛪ Zagreb Cathedral – Striking white facade (didn’t go inside). 🌽 Dolac Market – Go early for fresh produce (I missed the stalls by afternoon!). ❤️ St. Mark’s Church – Quaint with a checkerboard-tiled roof (perfect photo op!). 🖤 Lotrščak Tower – Daily noon cannon blast + panoramic views. 🍽️ Food Recs 🧡 Cro.K – Delicious Korean spot! Must-try: beef tendon soup (umami bomb!). 🧡 Good Food – Local fast-food chain. Loved their tortilla wraps + elderflower drink! 🧡 Amelie – Birthday-worthy cakes (not overly sweet—bought 4 slices!). 🎁 Souvenirs 👔 Kravata – Handmade ties (Croatia invented neckties!). 👔 Croata – National brand for premium ties. 🍯 Honey Liqueur – Sampled at a shop (name forgotten—worth hunting down!). 💜 Lavender Goods – Local produce (skip the bitter airport cookies). 🍄 Truffle Products – Snagged black truffle paste at the airport. #CroatiaTravel #ZagrebEats #EuropeanGems #BudgetFriendly
