ZIYP: Where is your favourite place to drink coffee or go out at night?
Franka: My favorite place to drink coffee is Express bar on Petrinjska Street 4. It is a small cafe & bar which is extremely comfortable and has delicious coffee, even different types of coffee from Ethiopia and Colombia. The place is interesting to me because it is an ideal spot for collecting ideas, while sipping on coffee.

ZIYP: Where is your favourite place to relax in Zagreb?
Franka: My favourite place to relax in Zagreb is with an excursion into nature, such as Glavica on Sljeme, where you can walk through nature, far away from the city noise, and eat delicious beans or baked štrukli with cheese. The view overlooking the city is spectacular. Often, on the weekends, I go there with friends and family to recharge my batteries for the upcoming week.

ZIYP: What is the best way to discover the city? Which activities do you recommend?
Franka: To discover the City of Zagreb, I would recommend a walk through the center and Upper Town where you can see many attractions, such as the Museum of the City of Zagreb, the Museum of Broken Relationships and other attractions characteristic to the old part of the city, such as the funicular on Tomićeva Street, in order to introduce you to the history of Zagreb.

ZIYP: Where is the most ideal place to shop? Which stores do you recommend to purchase souvenirs by Croatian designers?
Franka: My favorite place to shop, which I would recommend to everyone is the Take Me Home Croatian Design Shop on Tomićeva Street, which is located at the foot of the funicular, offering Croatian products exclusively produced in Croatia. Various high-quality products can be purchased in one place, as a memento from your trip, to take home with you. The shop is interesting as it aims to promote Croatian designs in collaboration with domestic production in order to produce the best possible souvenir.

ZIYP: Which of the local specialties do you recommend as a "must-try" for visitors?
Franka: I would definitely recommend traditional zagrebački štrukli as something everyone should try. I would also recommend a trip to the pub ‘K pivovari’ which is now called 'Pivana' where you can try traditional local specialties and drink excellent local beer, as well as participate in an excellent program filled with performances, museum exhibitions and
workshops through which you can learn all about the history of Zagreb brewery. My favourite beer at Pivana is the unfiltered beer, which you should definitely try.
