What travelers are saying

"We have loved Gate 1 and always sing their praises. We've been on 7 tours with another one booked for fall. We were supposed to leave for Ecuador this week, however the country is in a 60 day state of emergency with the escape of 2 infamous gang members. Tourists are advised to stay indoors and there is a daily curfew from 11pm-5am. (our flight was to land at 11:15pm). Our trip included stays in 2 of the main cities of unrest. There have been shootings, car bombings, hostage taking, closing of embassies, and other countries issuing do not travel warnings. Other tour companies have cancelled tours or offered refunds or rescheduling. Travel insurance does not cover wars or civil unrest, but we are clearly afraid to go there. Both we and our travel agent have reached out multiple times with our concerns and asked if we could reschedule or get some sort of credit. We continue to get the same reply either in person or via email...Gate 1 has your safety as our highest priority and we feel you are safe ("they are not targeting tourists") and your itinerary should not be impacted. What? Their highest priority is $ and not our safety. There is no way that's the tour we anticipated. We cancelled the trip and took a 90% penalty, loss of deposit, and $276 airline penalty. It's a LOT of money, but we would have been terrified, and it's not worth getting hurt or worse. Sorry, but it's not the company I want to do business with in the future."

What travelers are saying

"It was a very eventful itinerary that allowed us to see 8 countries in two weeks. The tour was very fast paced in order to accomplish the advertised program and it felt rushed. In order to travel to 8 different European countries, you have to expect that there will be a lot of coach seat/drive time. Our tour guide Jemma and coach driver Gabriel were very professional and focused on meeting Expat Explore’s tour destination requirements. Jemma always provided interesting information and tips about the cities and sites that we were visiting. Our driver Gabriel always got us to our destinations on time and safely. The included and optional excursions were conducted at a moderate to swift walking speed, at some places there was no time to take pictures. Some of us found it difficult to keep up with the group, and once caught up to the group, who were at a stopping/rest point, it was time to resume the walking tour which did not allow some of us to catch our breath. You have to keep in mind that this tour is a “budget” tour. With that in mind, some hotels were sub-standard. The Paris hotel had mold in the shower. As expected, some hotels did not have air-conditioning, and other hotels which did have air conditioning were not adequately able to cool the room. The included tour dinners and lunches were very average. We had better dining experiences when we were left on our own when we used our free time. Overall, we were pleased to see all European countries/cities/sites included in the tour. This review was submitted to Expat Explore to be posted. I believe that Expat Explore only posts 4 and 5 stars reviews on their website which gives a misleading impression of the services they provide."

What travelers are saying

"Hello , first there is no airport transfer at all as they mentioned in the trip program , no one waited us at the airport as they mentioned that we should provide them with the flight schedule but unfortunately they neglected this service for arrivals and for departures as well , the level of the hotel in Lyon is under expected maybe 2 stars , the hotels are somewhat away from the city center which makes the transportation for the clients cost more and waste of time , the guide was very quick in her steps without even looking at the families and children and not being able to follow her . Rather , she was even quick to finish the designated program , such as presenting a program that was supposed to be for tomorrow and presenting it without justification , making one day crowded with her program and the second day on the contrary i.e there may be only one visit as it happened in changing visiting Eifel tower although it was late afternoon and the line was so crowded that took around 2 hours waited in line in order to gets tickets for the whole group while it was supposed to be on the 2nd day with scène river cruise , the stoppage in some cities as Geneva needs more than only 2 hours time while stoppage in between the cities in the rural area needs less than that time gave it to us .no flexibility in changing the program after booking even for a more advanced and valued trips ( changing not cancelling ) , it must be a meeting prepared for the group in a lobby of the hotel the night before or even if 1 hour before getting into the buses as a type of acquaintance and introduction between the members of the group ."

Additional details

For travelers looking for unique cities on the up and coming, you won’t have to look any farther than Zagreb. Many visitors use Zagreb as the starting off point for their trip through Croatia or the rest of the Balkans, but spending a couple of days here can acquaint you with Croatian life and the varied past of this land. Zagreb has a special and telling past that sets it apart from much of the rest of Croatia and is an ideal destination for both the summer and the winter.

Zagreb Weather

The high season for travelers to Zagreb is during May to September. These are the warmest months for the city and the busiest. Weather during these months are warm but not unbearable nor unpleasant.

Zagreb is dissimilar to it’s coastal city counterparts. Due to being farther inland and near the mountains, Zagreb’s overall climate is cooler, which means it is a perfect destination for the holidays.

If you are looking for a special holiday trip, Zagreb will not disappoint. The city during the winter takes on a romantic air with buildings and parks covered with snow and one of their biggest holidays, the Advent Festival, brings a festive feeling to the city.

Off-the-Beaten Path Activities in Zagreb

For travelers who are interested in checking out attractions that are off-the-beaten path or looking for a once in a lifetime experience, Zagreb has plenty to keep you busy.

  1. Mirogoj CemeteryOne of Zagreb’s most famous sites, Mirogoj Cemetery is an interesting afternoon experience. The cemetery sits north of the city above the Upper Town and is place of peace, architecture masterpieces, and the resting place to some of Zagreb’s most famous citizens. You can get lost in the green domed arcades or visit the many mausoleums scattered throughout the cemetery.
  2. Museum of Broken RelationshipsThis quirky museum is located in the Kulmer Palace in the historic Upper Town. With another location in Los Angeles, the museum is dedicated to the public, housing items that represent heartbreak with exhibits including axes, rings, and empty cups of fortune cookies.
  3. Blue tramsConstantly on the go through the city and one of Zagreb’s two main public transportation systems, the blue tram is a window to the past. The first tram in Zagreb was created in the late-1800s but became a symbol of the socialist era when Croatia was part of Yugoslavia. Generally packed and stuffy, these trams offer a look into the daily life of a local.
  4. Zagreb ObservatoryIf you’re looking for a relaxing night activity, you can find it at the Zagreb Observatory. With over 100 years of history, the observatory holds lectures, stargazing events, and educational experiences for visitors.
  5. Brestovac SanatoriumIf you are looking for a little scare, try to find the hidden Brestovac Sanatorium. Once used as a sanatorium for those with tuberculosis, the abandoned building is now a hotspot for thrillseekers, ghost hunters, and paintballers. The sanatorium is so well hidden in the woods that many locals even have trouble finding the building.

Safety in Zagreb

Zagreb, like most of Croatia, has a low violent crime rate. The most common issues a traveler may encounter are pickpocketing and overcharging. You may encounter these in the restaurants and nightclubs of Zagreb.

Solo female travelers should feel comfortable to walk around Zagreb alone. During the night, it is recommended to use your best judgment or travel with a group when exploring Zagreb’s nightclub scene.

Interestingly enough, Zagreb is seismically active. However, it is not common to experience any large tremors. But don’t panic if you may experience a smaller shake while you are there.

Zagreb Food and Art scene

With its continued growth and importance in Europe and the travel industry, Zagreb’s food and art scene has blossomed.

The food scene in Zagreb has its origins in traditional Croatian cuisine such as large lunches and fish dishes, but has also become globalized. Restaurants and cafes featuring bistro, fusion, and noodle dishes have begun popping up in the Downtown. Tkalciceva, the central street to Zagreb’s food culture, is home to martini bars, dessert bars, and little bistros. Visitors to Zagreb won’t have to look for long to discover this foodie street.

In addition to the food culture growth in Zagreb, the art scene has also found its footing. Dotted throughout Zagreb’s many parks are statutes of famous Croatians and modern architectural pieces. The city has begun to embrace murals and commissioned art pieces as well. Some of the most significant pieces can be seen near the Museum of Contemporary Art and Gallery and throughout the various city parks.
