Cycling though Zagreb informer Yugoslavia

Find out first-hand life in Zagreb in former Yugoslavia, what it was like and why and how it ended

For those of you who are looking for a different sightseeing tour, those who wish to see more than those glamorous downtown buildings, this is an entirely different picture of the capital city.

I like Lisinski very much. It was very intense to perform there, because people came, listened carefully and felt the music in their hearts. Lisinski is a beautiful concert hall, and I am very honored to be performing there. I have wonderful memories of my first performance in Lisinski.
