For starters, I fully acknowledge that this will no doubt be not the most useful of reviews of Zagreb. This is because I was in Zagreb for approximately 2 hours. We had just been to Split and the nearby island Brac for 4 days. We then jumped on a train heading towards Bled in Slovenia. However, I must warn you trains in Croatia aren't the best in the world to say the least, the main problem being just how infrequent they are.
So our journey first started with an overnight train from Split to Zagreb, here we had a waiting time of just over 2 hours. The train station in Zagreb is really quite a nice one, with a very friendly woman working at the train information desk. Whilst waiting I wrote all my postcards and posted them in a nearby yellow postbox just outside. When posting these postcards I did have a short walk around the surrounding area, and I found Zagreb to be a pleasant area at the very early hours of the morning. Directly opposite there was a nice big building with a cool statue (see the attached photos), and just to the left was a pretty hotel with a giant fountain just outside it. Zagreb also has a tram transport system which seemed to be used by most people on their way to work etc.
After a short while, I headed back to my friends who were all asleep on the platform..awww...well it had been a long journey. From what I heard from a friend, there is also a cafe in the train station which does good English tea(something she kept craving for on hol)!
