Many Zagreb citizens own houses in the countryside which they use rarely.

Zagreb is becoming a more and more interesting tourist destination and tourists explore the marketplace Dolac and the medieval part of the town. Locals can not avoid not to ask themselves " Are they getting the right impression of Croatian way of life, which is in many aspects better than life of many strangers in richer countries?"

How could foreigners learn to live like Croats?

Put a free advertisment in an online advertizing site or search Yahoo and Google to find agencies in Zagreb which offer apartments in Zagreb and ask them if they have a "week-end house" in the countryside.

In early autumn these places are full of amateur winemakers and plum brandy distillers (still legal in Croatia), later in autumn and in early winter pork ham and sausage makers, etc.

Hot spas shall make up for crowded Adriatic sea in summer and for cold seawater in late autumn.

Good network of motorways has made the cultural ambiance of Zagreb not far away.

Think about that!
