Where to actually take her in Zagreb

Zagreb is walkable end to end and the whole evening fits inside the lower town. The centre has the hotels, Tkalčićeva has the noise, and everything worth doing is within fifteen minutes of Ban Jelačić Square. Prices are a third of Vienna, which means a good hotel here costs what a mediocre one costs two hours north.

Hotels that do not make it awkward

The single most common way an evening goes wrong in Zagreb is the front desk. Some houses charge a visitor fee, some ask for her passport, some simply do not allow a second person in the room after midnight. The houses below are the ones worth booking in this city - and because policies change with the season and the manager, the one question worth asking at reservation is whether a registered guest may come up to the room.

Bars for the first drink

Forty minutes in a bar before anything else is not a formality - it is how two adults find out whether the evening is worth having. Pick somewhere you can hear each other.

The areas, honestly

Every city has a district everyone names and a district where things actually happen. In Zagreb they are not always the same place.

• Donji grad lower townwalkable to everything · quiet enough to talk
• Tkalčićeva centrethe nightlife spine of the city · busy and loud after midnight · tourist-priced, watch the bill
• Trešnjevka westresidential, private, nobody looks twice · quiet enough to talk
• Savska southresidential, private, nobody looks twice · the nightlife spine of the city

Three things that cost nothing

• Be where you said you would be, at the time you said it. Punctuality reads as respect, and it is the cheapest respect there is.
• Settle the practical part at the start, once, and never bring it up again.
• Book the room in your own name and go up first. Never ask her to check in for you.
