central so you can easily take in a few sights before you leave.
I still haven't over-nighted in Zagreb, my visits have always been for a day, and so far I've navigated the city on foot only. However it's clear from the outset that there are plenty of hotels, with the ones closer to the centre being more expensive - some are in very grand buildings, and the cheaper ones being closer to the train station. If you are looking for cheap hostel accommodation you can find several advertising at the train station, and there is always the possibility of private rooms though these tend to be further out of town.
If you do need to go further afield you'll probably want to take advantage of the comprehensive tram system. The two main hubs are the area in front of the train station and the main square. At the main square in particular, pedestrians ...
Advantages: Friendly staff, good sized rooms, plenty to do Disadvantages: reception opening times, maids and windy weather!
• HotelParadise Resort, Lanzarote *
Well my family and I had this holiday booked since the end of January so we had been looking forward to it all year. Neither of us had ever been to Lanzarote so we didn't know what to expect. It was my mum and brothers first time abroad where it was hot; they've been place in Europe France mainly on previous holidays but not a sunny holiday. It was also my little brothers first time on a plane so he was well excited.

Anyway basically I got out of a relationship so my mum didn't want me on my own and invited me to go with them. Luckily the apartment booked slept 4 people anyway so ...
Advantages: Fascinating, colourful, might get to sample some Croatian foods, shop for a picnic Disadvantages: Can't buy some things if you're in a hotel
Dolac is Zagreb?s very colourful central fresh produce market. It is situated in the area just behind Trg Bana Jelacic and you can access it though a small lane where you see the flower market start. The market was opened in 1930, having been built on the site of a slum clearance; it was agreed by the city's bigwigs that the houses there were not a fitting sight for visitors to a capital city and so they were duly demolished. I was delighted to read that in his speech at the opening of the market, the mayor of Zagreb Dr. Stjepan Srkulj said "?During my visit to Holland this year, ladies and gentlemen, I can honestly say that I did not see a market that was as nice as this...? - and, you know, it is rather special.
Beyond the flower market you can either climb the stone steps to the market proper or go into the main indoor section ...
