3 DAYS IN ZAGREB ----------
So - this is my first time in Croatia. I decide to hit Zagreb for a few days before going to the coast.
First impressions - and last impressions - dont waste your time. The city has nothing special to offer. I came just to write this city off my bucket list. There is a lame pedestrian street, no decent old town. Krakow or even Riga blows this city out of the water.
I am a night gamer - and I find the game here to be poor. During the week it is mostly dead, and even on the weekend, it is nothing special. There are clubs on Lake Jarun, the supposed "hot spot" but I felt uninspired.
Croatian women? Ok - this only applies to Zagreg so far - but they are pretty bad. As reference, I usually only date 8+, with allowances for young age. I am completely disappointed in the women I have seen here so far. Maybe I am just used to Ukraine, or even Vilnius, but the average woman here is a 5. I would see a "head turner" about once a day.
My advice, especially is you are an older man or a man with means, is dont waste your time on Zagreb. If you were a younger guy, I would still avoid Zagreb. That being said, the primary reason I travel is for the cultural experience. Zagreb is not worth a drive by.
As an aside - I was pretty surprised how tall the guys are here. I am 5'10" - just average. But I saw a lot of guys REALLY tall. Many over 6'6". I would say it was the first time I ever felt intimidated. In the end it didn't matter since literally I rarely ever saw a girl I was interested in hitting on. I didn't find the women to be tall at all. At least the ones I saw, the average female height was 5'6. I saw a lot more towering beauties in Kiev.
