If you are visiting Croatia, take a trip to Zagreb, a city equally in competition with Prague and Budapest, situated in the eastern part of Europe. As the capital of Croatia, Zagreb is now a glittering and dazzling city. The city is divided into three parts. You will find the thousand year old Gornji grad, which is the upper town, where you will see the Presidential Palace. The city has the historic church of St. Mark's, the Croatian parliament, and museums and galleries, all set in those cobble path streets lit by gas lamps. Then there is the 19th Century Donji grad, set in the lower town, with shops, restaurants, cafes, theatres and parks. You will then visit the modern Zagreb, called Novi Zagreb, meaning New Zagreb, a commercial area with high rise buildings.

The city of Museums, as Zagreb is called, has more museums than any other city in the world, as there are more of them in this city per square foot. You can also enjoy a lazy afternoon, sitting in one of those numerous cafes, along with the Zagrebcani, and watch the world go by. There you can have the well known Croatian dish, and finish the day in the one of the bars or clubs. You will visit the main market in Zagreb, the Dolac market, where you can taste one of Zagreb's inexpensive meals from one of the several fast food kiosks in the market and then leisurely walk along Tkalciceva Ulica towards the upper town.

Next to Istria is the Kvarner Riviera, centered on the main Croatian port of Rijeka, the busiest port on the Adriatic. You must visit the most famous resort, the Opatija, and also the famous Lovran, Crikvenica, Kraljevica and Novi Vinodolski.

Rijeka has been ruled by many countries in the past and has a very colourful history. Rijeka has been the part of the Croatian Kingdom in the middle ages and then part of the Habsburg Empire. Rijeka grew even further, when the railway track was laid in the late 19th century, connecting Rijeka with Budapest, through Zagreb. Industries started to take shape and a ship building yard was also established in Rijeka.

You would not want to stay back at Rijeka. After a days trip you would take a bus or boat to visit other places in Croatia. Jadrolinija, a ferry company, operates from Rijeka and sails to Dubrovnik all the way, calling at several towns and islands on its way, such as, Zadar, Split, Hvar and Korcula sailing through a beautiful scenic route.

George Bernard Shaw called it a paradise and was enchanted by the city of Dubrovnik. It is also called the "jewel of the Adriatic". Dubrovnik is an independent merchant republic for the last 700 years and had trade links with Turkey and India, with trade representations in Africa. It had diplomatic link with the English court in the period of the middle ages.

The old town of Dubrovnik was completed in the 13th Century and remains as it is, unchanged to this present day. The city's promenade is approached by two entrances from the old town which leads to the Stradun. Here too, you can have a lazy afternoon, have a drink in one of the cafes and watch the city life go by. If you are visiting Dubrovnik in summer, you would like to see the world-renowned Dubrovnik Summer Festival, where you can entertain yourself with music and Croatian dance performances.

You had to pay more for your outgoing calls with added roaming charges. Even your incoming calls were charged the same way. The bill at the end of the month was too high and way out of the budget that you had for your trip abroad. The charges that you incurred while you were visiting abroad with your mobile, turned out to be more than that of the telephone call bills that you had paid when you had used the telephone in your hotel room.
