I quite liked Zagreb. People are fairly warm, and it's charmingly laid out. Lots of good cafes and restaurants, and the center is pretty walkable. As someone else said there are the commie block vibes, but those are in more peripheral neighborhoods. I felt it was safe, and had no issues getting around by tram mostly. As someone mentioned there is definitely the traditional Southern European cafes are for socializing, not working kind of vibe but still a decent number had wifi and didn't bat an e

The city is quite nice and calm, surrounded by nature and tall hills. There is a really nice river embankment in the city where you can walk around or run. Take in mind that almost all the shops are completely closed on Sundays, which is still very unusual to me. Augustiner bräu is a really atmospheric bar which can recommend to visit, and Hangar-7 museum from Red Bull which is free to check out is also quite nice.
