The capital city of Croatia is a lively, historic, vibrant, and fun place to spend some time. If you’re thinking of living in Zagreb, get ready for an experience like no other; this place is full of things to see and do, and you’ll probably never want to leave. I know I didn’t.
In January 2021, Croatia’s digital nomad visa opened the doors for more people to spend time in this beautiful country. For me, it’s one of the best places in the world; the scenery, beaches, culture, food, and friendly locals are second to none.

About Zagreb
Zagreb is both the capital and largest city in Croatia. It’s located in the north of the country, not far from the border with Slovenia. It’s a very pretty city too, standing on the banks of the Sava River, with the huge Medvednica mountain looming in the near distance.
If you’re a history lover, you’re sure to enjoy the city’s rich Roman past. There are countless ruins around the city, including the Roman Andautonia, and Zagreb as a whole is packed with historical nods, as the whole city came to be in 1134.
But it’s not all history. Zagreb is packed with modern-day fun too, including nightlife, gastronomy, shopping, and art. The surrounding area is also full of must-visit places, with hiking trails in the Medvednica mountain and Veternica Cave, packed with archaeological wonders.
