The medieval city of Zagreb has much to offer the modern tourist in terms of places to go and things to see.
Backpackers can also rest assured that there is more to its nightlife than the eerie alleyways that characterized the ancient city in the distant past.
Restaurants and Casinos As with most emerging tourist destinations, Croatia's capital has quickly become home to a host of attractive evening venues to compliment travelers' daytime activities and sightseeing.
Facilities at Zagreb hostels are often high quality, with many offering tourist information and kitchens to guests, although even travelers on a budget would be well-advised to take advantage of the many affordable restaurants and cafes on offer for their meals.
Unlike restaurants in other parts of the world, eateries in Zagreb tend to stay open late, and can even be the perfect place to have a midnight snack away from your Zagreb hostels.
The city boasts a handful of good casinos that welcome both locals and tourists to showcase their poker skills or try their hand at roulette in the hope of striking lucky.
Most of these are also open late and offer restaurant and bar facilities.
Bars and Nightclubs Restaurants and casinos aside, Zagreb's nightlife has become so well established on the international scene that it attracts partygoers from other parts of the country, as well as capturing the interest of international visitors.
Zagreb's Gornji Grad, or Old Town, is one of the city's more popular hang outs for those night owls keen on finding a cool club or bar in which to wind away the evening and most of these even live up to the highest expectations in terms of atmosphere, decor and music.
There is also plenty of activity on the outskirts of the city.
In particular, the Jarun Lake coast has become a favorite among hard-house and techno fans over the weekend, where huge clubs host top international acts and sell-out crowds.
