Croatia Entertainment Guide

Croatia has lots of places to eat- restaurants, cafés, and other eateries abound in almost every settlement, big or small, and you can at least count on being able to get a filling meal and a drink in even the smallest of establishments. The fancy restaurants are mainly restricted to larger cities or popular tourist destinations like Zagreb and Dubrovnik; these are some the places you’ll find international cuisines. Most meals start at a minimum of US$ 5, and can go just as high as you’re willing to spend some of the most expensive delicacies of the world - like the prized truffles of the Istria Peninsula- are native to Croatia.

A good thing about Croatia is that there’s a lot of variety as far as entertainment is concerned- larger cities and towns usually have enough pubs, discotheques and nightclubs to amuse most night birds, and if you’re looking for more cultural experiences, those too are aplenty. Many of Croatia’s cities have regular cultural festivals featuring everything from folk dances, folk music and puppetry to choir music, church mystery plays and baroque music. Zagreb, especially, has a calendar crowded with cultural events- keep an eye on local newspapers, or enquire at the Tourism Board’s office, for details of such festivals and performances. A number of hotels and restaurants have live cultural performances on a much smaller scale, but on a regular basis. For the more-athletically inclined, there’s lots of scope for trekking, climbing and water sports around the country.
