Take a Walk through Virtual Zagreb
As of recently, a 3D virtual representation of downtown Zagreb has been created in Second Life. This online world is one of the most popular free internet simulations and is maintained exclusively by its users.
Do you wish to take a stroll through virtual Zagreb? You can do it now on the internet game Second Life. The virtual 3D world, which is maintained by the users of one of the largest online simulations worldwide, now features a faithful rendition of downtown Zagreb, with all of its buildings, landmarks, and features but also incorporating all of the habits of its citizens. In this virtual city, you will be able to take a stroll down Bogovićeva Street, Flower Square, and Ban Jelačić Square, or visit one of the cult places in the city center and engage in a favorite pastime – people watching. You will also be able to sip you virtual coffee in the company of famous citizens of Zagreb (you might even meet the virtual lady mayor) and, after, you may be tempted to buy a present for your friend. Just like in real life, in this virtual world you are able to partake in cultural events, do a bit of shopping, or get married in an old-fashioned, traditional way as a horse-drawn carriage whisks you to the venue. A stroll through the heart of virtual Zagreb, whose streets and squares throb with life almost the whole year round, will give you a feel for the city where life pulsates in a special way, just like in real life.
