Travel Guide - Central Park in Zagreb, Croatia - 'Zrinjevac'

in #travel9 years ago (edited)

First thing you should do when you arrive to Zagreb by train is to stretch your legs and take in some fresh air.


Lo and behold, Zrinjevac park is right in front of you.

In this review I will focus on what most people tend to miss. Statues of famous Croatians in front of the HAZU (The Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts).


#1 Ivan Kukuljević Sakcinski (1816 – 1889) was a Croatian historian, politician and writer, most famous for the first speech delivered in Croatian before the Parliament.

#2 Baron Nikola Jurišić (1490 – 1545) was a Croatian nobleman, soldier, and diplomat.

#3 Juraj Julije Klović (1498 – 1578) was a Croatian-born illuminator, miniaturist, and painter, mostly active in Renaissance Italy.

#4 Andrija Medulić (1510–1563) was an Italian Renaissance painter and etcher, born in present-day Croatia, active in the city of Venice.

#5 Fran Krsto Frankopan (1643–1671) was a Croatian baroque poet, nobleman and politician

#6 Ivan Mažuranić (1814 – 1890) was a Croatian poet, linguist, lawyer and politician

Bonus (behind the Academy) - Josip Juraj Strossmayer (1815 – 1905) was a Croatian politician, Roman Catholic bishop and benefactor.


That is it! Grab a fresh cold beverage and enjoy. Make it a beer for the heck of it! You are on your vacation!

What do you like doing on a warm sunny day?

Thanks for the honourable mentions man!

Currently redesigning how the faucet functions and will hopefully have it running in the next day or so.

Just to get things straight. Does this now mean that the faucet will now only work if a monthly fee (1 Steem) is paid?

I may have a free rank 0 faucet daily payout but it won't be much.. I am going to work on gamification. I think most users can afford 1 STEEM to get more STEEM. :)

Great! One friend of mine really likes how it is easy to get something from the very start. Might entice people to stay and engage more!

I'm actually moving over to an hourly setup. The intial payouts are going to be scaled back a bunch but users will be able to rank up and get better faucet rewards hourly as time goes on.

Yeah, I've noticed that most faucets have an hourly scheme.

I was debating doing different tier type things.. More gamification the better.

Need to put roadblocks in the way for people who multi account so will likely have an abysmal faucet as rank 0 then as you progress it gets better and better.

I don't get these multi douche-bags . Cmon, it's not that big of an amount.

Absolute bottom feeders man.. Sit there and make hundreds of accounts for a bit of STEEM each time. Oh well, just learned that the honour system doesn't work online.

Probably not at the base level. But I think this is a very positive community overall. :)

very nice travel post, i like the fountain!

Thanks! I've caught it on a nice day.

Nice, beautiful and historical place ! :)

Thank you. Trails are always nice guests!

Cute. I'll bite :) Upvoted
