🌸Turn Thursday into Small Friday: Zagreb’s International Meetup🌍Zagreb language and culture exchange meetup. Chat in many languages, meet new people and plan adventures together.
Hey everyone! 👋
As spring arrives in Zagreb and the city wakes up again, we’re keeping Thursdays social with **Small Friday International Zagreb** ([SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/)) a relaxed international meetup where locals, expats, Erasmus students and travellers gather to chat, exchange languages, share stories and plan the next adventure.
Think of it as Zagreb’s global living room with lively conversations, and that moment when a random Thursday evening decides to surprise you. ✨
Whether you’ve just arrived in Zagreb, been here a while, or live around the corner, you’re very welcome.

Expect a relaxed, social atmosphere where conversations flow naturally.
🗣️ La**nguage Exchange**
English, Croatian, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Ukrainian, Russian… and often more.
🌍 **Cultural Exchange**
Locals, expats, travellers and Erasmus students sharing stories, experiences and perspectives.
🤝 **New Connections**
Real conversations, genuine laughs, and the occasional new friend.
📅 **Weekend Planning**
People often end up planning hikes, concerts, trips, festivals or nights out together.
No formal structure, no pressure, just people meeting people.
🌸 **Why Join in Spring?**
Spring is when Zagreb truly comes alive.
Magnolia trees bloom across the city, café terraces fill with conversation, and longer sunny days invite people outdoors. Locals stroll through parks, cycle along the Sava, run around Jarun and Bundek lakes, or escape to the nearby Medvednica mountain for hikes and views above the city.
At the same time, Zagreb’s cultural calendar blossoms with exhibitions, concerts, festivals and theatre performances, while markets like Dolac overflow with seasonal produce: asparagus, wild garlic, strawberries and fresh flavours of the season.
It’s the perfect time to meet people and explore the city together.
And many of those plans begin right here, at [SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/). 🌍
🍺 **Why The Beertija?**
Because it’s more than a bar, it’s our headquarters.
Expect:
🌿 leafy terrace vibes
🎸 rock-inspired atmosphere
🍺 excellent beers
🛋️ relaxed living-room energy
🚭 non-smoking indoor space
It’s the kind of place where you pop in for one drink and suddenly realise the evening flew by.
💡 **First-Timer Tip**
If it’s your first time:
👋 arrive early
🙂 smile and say hello
💬 jump into a conversation
Everyone was new once and that’s how all starts.
