Jugoslawien und sein Zerfall zählen vermutlich zu den Themen, die viele von uns, die Zagreb besuchen, interessieren. Leider gibt es unter den zahlreichen Museen der Stadt gegenwärtig eines, dass sich diesem Thema widmet. Dieser Stadtrundgang wird dadurch zu einem besonderen Erlebnis. Hier haben sich Menschen zusammengefunden, um diese bewegte Zeit aufzubereiten und Touristen zugänglich zu machen - etwas das man in der Stadt sonst vergeblich sucht.
Ich kann diese hervorragende, stets um Multiperspektivität und Einordnung bemühte Stadtführung nur empfehlen.
Danke Ivana, für die tolle Führung und das nette und informative Gespräch im Anschluss.

My family and I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Darko, was hilarious and informative. He knew exactly when to lighten the mood when discussing such a serious topic. We learned a lot and are grateful to have squeezed this tour in during our brief stay in Zagreb. Thank you, Darko!
