Suggestions for those who are staying in Zagreb till Friday evening (we can agree to go together to visit one of the following places):

• Medvednica Mountain, top Sljeme - riding by one of the newest cable cars in Europe and one of the most expensive investments in Zagreb in last 15 years (this is very nice idea if the weather is good; there are a couple of small restaurants on the top with some typical dishes of the local cuisine, the ride lasts about 20 minutes and the last cable car from the Sljeme top to Zagreb starts at 19:00 CET; so if we decide for this option we have to go up right after the farewell!)

• Jarun Lake in Zagreb - walk and chill out like at the seaside (if the weather is nice)

• visit and get educated in the Museum of chocholate or Museum of illusions (not dependable on weather conditions; last admissions at 19:00)
