Is Zagreb a good place to live? How is the quality of life?

I would recommend Zagreb to students as there’s a lot to do and young families as there’s opportunities for their children to thrive. I wouldn’t recommend it to single people and older couples, especially those coming from the sunnier parts of the world. The weather is probably the thing that people here hate the most as it’s mostly gray skies and a lot of rain and fog in autumn and fall. The traffic is pretty bad and all parking is paid in most parts of the city. The positives are the culture venues, nightlife and a lot of green areas outside of the city center of which I would recommend “Maksimir” as a huge park with trails, lakes and a zoo.
