It's the capital of Croatia - a country that's part of EU so you get most of it's privileges, but still far enough that you can still live the slow paced life if you want it. You can buy a house in the city or on the outskirts but still have the city centre about 30-45 minutes away depending on how far away you move. You can live by the mountainside or close to the lake. Our standard is pretty low so with a tech salary you can live like a king and the tech scene is booming so you can work in all kinds of companies. The night life is pretty good and if the clubs are not for you, there is lot to try in terms of bars and restaurants. Tired of the city and wanna go to the sea? Take a 1 hr drive and you're at a beautiful beach with crystal clear water. Wanna go to the mountains? Ride for 10 minutes and you've got all the hills you want. A lot of people here eat homemade, homegrown food and it's nothing special for them. We have our own specialties, but also a clash of turkish, austrian and mediterranean culture so you can eat sausages with olive oil and finish the meal with some baklava. Lifestyle is usually pretty slow-paced for most and everyone takes everything slow. We drink coffee in the bar for at least two hours and if you go for a beer you ain't coming home soon. Even tho there is a lot of politics and bickering, life here is generally really great.
