Life in the Upper Town, Zagreb: what does everyday life look like in the historic core
Life in the Upper Town means living in the historic core of Zagreb: old buildings, narrow and steep streets, a funicular, and peace in the evening, when the tourist flows calm down.

Life in Šestine, Zagreb: a more peaceful pace close to the center
Šestine lie at the transition between the city and the foothills of Medvednica, with streets where a house with a garden is the rule, not the exception. Anyone looking for an address in Zagreb, but not a building with an elevator and neighbors through the wall, will find an option here that is almost non-existent in the strict center. Yet they are not ...

Buying a garage or parking space: Profitability

First property: buy now or save for a bigger apartment
Many first-time homebuyers face the same dilemma: buy what they can afford now — most often a smaller apartment or one in a less desirable location — or wait, save for another few years, and immediately buy something larger and better that would suit them longer. Both options have their logic and their proponents, and the decision is important because ...

Buying a house for a large family: space, location, budget
