Zagreb, Croatia: Europe Train - Hosted by Sofia von Porat & Nathan Schacherer
It's beautiful here in Zagreb. The rain is gone so it's perfect. Yeah. We’re going to start the day by visiting the upper town which is where Zagreb was founded. We've just walked up to the stone gate. This stone gate divides the upper and lower town here in Zagreb and this stone gate has a very significant meaning. It's become almost like a chapel. We found a painting of St. Mary and little baby Jesus miraculously saved from a fire in 1931. It's become a place of worship. So they had to painting in there and people come in and light candles and pray. Now we're going to go The market and see if we can buy some veggies for lunch or something. It got veggies they got flowers, Lots of local produce. So it seems really cool.
We're in Dola's market and it really is a farmers market. There are fruit and veggies everywhere. This is where the farmers come in from outside of Zagreb and sell their produce to locals. I might try and find something for myself. We've gone to the market, we've seen some veggies, we've seen all the local produce now we're going to go up this hill to the tower which has a cannon in it that goes off every day at 12 o'clock. They've got this tram that goes up to the tower, it's one of the shortest tram rides in the world. It's about 10 to 15 seconds long. It's only for the lazy ones. There are steps of the side, which were going to take. We're waiting for them to fire the cannon off the tower at 12 o'clock, so we walked around the corner and we realize that St. Mark's Church is right here, and this church has such cool designs on top of the roof, really really colorful. Normally go to church to check out the inside, you come to this church to check out the roof. I think it's really cool. Boom! We just witnessed the 12 o'clock cannon. Apparently this cannon goes off every single day at 12 o'clock. No one knows why, there's a legend, a big story behind it. No one knows the truth but every day at 12 o'clock, boom! It was powerful. I thought, there's a small little cannon hole, I thought pow, pop. It was boom, I actually felt myself get pushed backwards. Pretty cool to experience, gave me a bit of right even though I was expecting it. Now we're going to go down and grab some lunch. It's about 12 o'clock, so we're going to try and find some traditional Croatian food.
It's been a great day so far, we are having a quick lunch break. We're at this place recommended by the hostel. We got these locally brewed beer, one euro each. So cheap and so good. Very special taste, mine has a bit of a caramel taste to it. After lunch we’re going to go visit apparently one of the most beautiful cemeteries in Europe, sounds interesting. We're at Cemetery, and it's one of Europe's most beautiful cemeteries. I can see why. There just, there are graves everywhere there also is so much nature, so many trees, flowers, and it really is a peaceful place to come. It's really quiet. Do you think it's a little strange, that it's become a tourist attraction? It's a cemetery. It is kind of strange. I do see the attraction, I mean there is a lot of nature here and that does make it more beautiful. Yeah. Usually I feel that the cemeteries are little bit creepy, You know that there's something about them that's a bit uncomfortable, but here it's actually really nice. We found a nice place here at the cemetery where we can sit down and relax. We're going to try a traditional Croatian pastry. What is inside? And what is it called? It's called borek and this one is with spinach in it, and some cheese, I think as well. It looks good. Yeah it looks really good, try some. I had a bite before. It's good, huh? Really nice. We've had a great day here in Zagreb. Tomorrow we're going to catch an overnight train to Bosnia. Sarajevo's next, so we'll see you then.
Croatia looks nice.I definitely wanna visit.
According to one legend, a cannon shot from the Lotrščak tower soared over the river Sava and landed in the Turks’ encampment, right on a platter of chicken that was being carried to the Pasha for his lunch. The Pasha decided against attacking a city of fearsome sharpshooters so Zagreb escaped invasion. Since this ace shot was fired at noon, a cannon has been fired at that time from the same tower ever since
The most important one is "može li to malo brže?"!
Have a good time in Zagreb!
so great just to see all these experience. Alabama,USA
Amazing, professional video :) You should sell these video series to some tv channel.
they ate pita/burek in zagreb and belgrade but not in sarajevo...well,that's a fail
pretty much...I blame the guide who told them so...
The legend of the cannon is known! It is said that during the turkish siege of Zagreb by Suleyman the Great Zagreb only had this one cannon located somewhere on the upper part of town. Legend says that Suleyman got scared after hearing the roar of the cannon and he lifted the siege and abandoned all future endeavors of besiegeing the city of Zagreb!
Love Zagreb!
It is very well known why does that canon go off at 12 for centuries. The guy who gited it to the city requested it. And we honoured him.
4:00 "Mali medo" - Grička vještica - najbolje pivo.. :))) pozdrav iz Rijeke
Pozdrav is Srbije! Jedva cekam da vidim Hrvatsku prvi put ovog leta! :D
Nice video!
how do you go about edting these videos ect..do you do it whilst your travelling...or do it all once you're back home? Thanks. I love your videos :)
Well done presentation on Zagred. elefteross is right; burek is not entirely a Croatian traditional pastry. it is a food universally traditional to the Balkans which of course includes Croatia. Burek is a Turkish word, and the dish arrived there via the Ottoman Empire entering Serbia and other southern Balkan countries. I see you haven't been to Belgrade yet: you must go as it is a fantastic and exotic blend of a big European city blended with Turkish influence. Awesome nightlife there!
wow they come to croatia and from all the croatian beautiful spots they highlight cementery? wow
More beautiful - maybe. More interesting? Now that's a good one.
What do you recommend? Gospić or Sinj?
thanks! i will still learn a few phrases though in case
Potkraj 19. stoljeća gradska je uprava odlučila napraviti top koji će pucati svakog popodneva kako bi se po njemu „mogli ravnati zvonari svih gradskih crkava“. Prvi put se oglasio za Novu godinu 1877. i tada utvrđen običaj podnevnog pucnja s četvrtog kata stare kule sačuvao se do današnjeg dana.
Burek, Banitsa, kebabche are all traditional Balkan food so you can eat them in Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, FYROM, Montenegro etc. :)
Great video! Thanks! Wish there where more of these well made travel guides on CZcams for all the other cities in the world :) -makes it easier to find the next destination... Most of the times the videos on YT are boring or badly cut homevideos or EVEN WORSE: slideshows! Please stop posting those people you've got Picasa for that! -But again thanks for this well-made video! Looks like a very nice city!
nice video
I could not agree entirely that "burek" is Croatian traditional pastery. It is kind of Balkan's traditional food. You will find the same in Bosnia, Serbia, even Macedonia. In Sarajevo you will see different "style" of "burek", in Belgrade, Serbia, again different. If you are going to Belgrade, let me know to recommend to you the best place for it.
When you come to Sarajevo, ask for "burek", but also aks for "cevapi" or "ćevapi" or "pljeskavica" (meal with meat - write down last 2)
HHello ! My name is Ciprian Nemet, I´m 33 years old and I´m from Romania, I live in Bucarest.
I plan a bike travel. I wanna cross Croatia as well and I am searching for places to visit like beautiful Zagreb.
Some tips, please? I'm especially interested to get informations about good bike roads, maybe places to avoid and so on.
Thank you! :)
i may be going to croatia this summer by myself (i am16) and would like to do the video type thing you are doing!
are you doing the video off of your canon??
im going to dubrovnik and zagreb next month :) does it matter that i cant speak any of the language or will it be okay?
Ye thats what they made it a few years ago you are right
@TheMelisaaaa totalna istina i postoji samo jedna vrsta bureka: s mesom...
ona druga verzija je sirnica :D
TRUE!!!!!!!!! :D
RAKIJA!
Its funny tho bc if youre a native from the country, like me, its kind of hard to see tourists fly by things that are just daily routines and say they're interesting. And I know it's because they don't have things like that as often in their country, but it's still a bit odd.
the cannon is fired every day at 12 o clock to commemorate the accidental hit to the main Turk tent during the occupation of Zagreb in the Turk war. The shipment of cannonballs from Viena got stuck during the occupation, so Zagreb was left with only 3 cannon balls. At exactly at midday, a cannon ball was fired, resulting in a DIRECT hit into the Ottoman main tent camped just on the riverside of Sava. The Turks panicked and retreated, not knowing the hit was a pure accident. :)
It's not a myth.
Burek is keeping Balkan together haha!
i watched,5-6 of your vids,good job! Wish you had more time,zagreb is not the nicest town in Croatia,not too much to see either:D should have gone to Dubrovnik
zašto si uzeo naziv djavola za ime Božije.......
where r u from, anyway?
Burek - traditional Croatian?
pa stranci su bokte sta oni znaju
Plenty of Croats (especially those under 40 years of age) speak decent English, so no problem at all.
@jabbawockeezporeotix haha vuk karadzic prepisivao iz bosanskog, joj ovo kad sam cuo, sad mogu da umrem na miru haha, lepo me nasmeja, hvala. Znas sta brate, nije ni bitno, ziveli!
burek is turkish, not bosnian if we go to the details...
Zagreb
@TheMelisaaaa
E ti znaš...
:-)
@nightburg u right, but bosnia till ottomans came had serbian majority, with croats being second nation, and only during ottoman rule many were forced to move to islam and also lots of turks from all over empire moved there, thats how bosniaks were created, its known fact.
well I don't know if anyone has an 'Islamic plan' for Europe, but I am an atheist, and I have an 'atheist plan' for Europe. More atheism will bring more freedom for Europe. This is my ultimate concern and plan :)
Lol no one knows why the cannon? Thats kinda dull to say, every zagrebian knows what it represents. It's when the turks came to zagreb they put their tents on the other side of river Sava and the cannon shot the commanders tent into his meal, after that they retreated. Thats what the cannon is about!
Ja sam sad zmazao jedan
Burek again?????
Rakija :D
Jago daj tajnjier BAŽULA!
Is this Turkey?
Scien0 0 read the title
dude.freaking nice shirt you got there...with aum simbol...
pls send me an inbox message where i can buy such one?
Vidim da sve znate o bureku a neznate da nije turski. Burek je grčki i doslovno znači pita.
if you say so... i know that burek is.... ;p
1) Dubrovnik was a proctorate state of the Ottoman Empire for 400 years. They were neutral in internal affairs, but Ragusans were the Sultan's private tradesmen. 2) Why don't you check any historical map of Bosnian Pashaluk and see the Ottoman Croatia. 3) I really don't like to talk about football.
A kum su deli bažul,štrukle,tijenku gibanicu i litru i vodu????!!!!!!
tebi je lako zaboraviti, a moj se dida nikada neće vratit.
Says who? Börek is a national Turkish meal. Bosnia has it because of the Ottoman Empire, you probably knew that anyway..
You had burek in Belgrade. You had burek in Zagreb. But no burek in Sarajevo. What the fuck.
dosli u hrvatsku i poscuju groblje xD ludi likovi :D
I recommend actual seaside instead of rocks.
burek is bosnian meal
Burek is not traditional Croatian food its Bosnian...
Burek is either turkish or bosnian.......no freakin way its traditional food in croatia, its just a meal they love to eat when in bosnia (beacouse its better here) :)
burek is bosnian national meal not croatian ;D
@jabbawockeezporeotix nema nikakvog zajednickog bosanskog, jer je to srpski jezik, tj srpsko-hrvatski, sa razlicitim varijantama i dijalektima sirom bivse jugoslavije. a bilo je itekako prisiljavanja na islam, jer oni koji nisu bili muslimani su bili uskraceni za skoro sva prava kao slobodan covek, a time su ljudi masovno bili prisiljavani da predju u islam. ali ne moras da mi odgovaras, jer me iskreno ne zanima, smucilo mi se ovo raspravljanje po internetu.
To nije burek vec je pita zeljanica
i find it sad that croatia is more welcoming to tourist and they always get tourists .... unlike serbia
Hočem tijenku gibanicu,a ne burek!
lmao burek is bosnian not croatian but it doesn't matter at the end of the day cuz it's made only in that part of europe so..
is turkish no bosnian....
burek is serbian national meal not bosnian :D
hahahaha smiješno mi je kak su se na mirogoj sjeli, u pozadini cvijeće od nekog nedavnog sprovoda, i papaju burek
funny :) This summer I visited the Ottoman caravansaray in Dubrovnik. It was where the Turkish tradesmen resided while making business in Dubrovnik. You don't know much about history, do you ? And also you don't know anything about the Dubrovnik communities living in Istanbul, Crimea and various other parts of the Empire. Pretty ignorant and funny either.
@Sponcek Wtf , go learn some history... Maybe some parts of Bisnia were included in Croatia , but biggest part went to the Serbs ;) ( talking about XX century )
No. It's Turkish...
Ovi sto sviraju zvuce kao lale Vojvodjani...
it's turkish
No its not! Burek is all Balkan meal.
get some alk broo abd some hot stuff from the hot blond and party
First of all that was not "burek" but "Pita" and is a traditional Bosnian food, not Croatian. Burek is pita with meat, everything else is pita with that-and-that.
Dear Dino ! Pita is traditional Croatian cake made from something or everything (fruit,vegetables,fresh cheese) ,and Burek is only and i mean only from meat! ,and it is come to Bosnia from Turks during occupation of your beautiful Country! Greetings from Zagreb :)

It's rather fun that whenever I speak to someone from Bosnia or Herzegovina (those who I know are mostly Orthodox, though, if it matters to the topic at all), we always seem to argue on the same thing. People from that area just can not understand that the same word can refer to different things in different places. For example, in Vojvodina, and in most of other parts of Serbia, when you try to buy "burek", you would almost always get asked about the filling you want, and besides, at least in my native town (Novi Sad that is), cheese version is considered traditional and sort of default. So please have understanding for those of us who do not come from Bosnia, it is a Turkish dish, after all.
Inače bilo bi primerenije da sam pisao na našem jeziku, al reko aj da nas ovi stranci razumeju, kad ionako zbog njih i pišemo. Aj u zdravlje!
Sve je ok inače nisam Bosanac nego Hrvat. Pozz
Burek can be plain, meat or cheese. It's not only made out of meat.
@Sponcek bosnia was only part of croatia during ww2 when fascist occupied it , lol man, wtf ur talking..
to come to croatia and visit only zagreb is idiotic, zagreb is lame, you should have visited other parts which are much more beautiful and interesting
I am sorry but I am bored of this trolling. You may continue by yourself.
You talk to much! u should show more the places....
Burek is Turkish not Bosnian.
@jabbawockeezporeotix muslimani tko ste, što ste da prostite??? /watch?v=SVqXalvYovY&feature=channel_video_title
Freakin' vegans.
Nice excuse for ignorance.
BUREK IS FROM BOSNIA NOT CROATIA! FAIL
