🌟 Why now?

The Christmas markets have closed 🎄❌, the New Year celebrations have faded 🎆➡️🌙, and Zagreb has slipped into its winter mood 🏙️❄️. The days are grey 🌫️, sometimes snowy 🌨️, cold 🧣🥶 the kind of weather that pulls people indoors 🏠 and a little closer together 🤍🤝.

This is the season of quiet, grounded pleasures 🌿✨: winter walks through the city 🚶‍♂️❄️🏙️, snow-dusted hikes on Sljeme 🌲🏔️🌨️, museums and cinemas 🖼️🎬, ice rinks ⛸️❄️ and proper warm food 🍲🔥, followed by long conversations 💬🕯️ over a drink 🍷🍺.

Zagreb is also a little unusual in winter ✨ because it offers something rare: a mini ski holiday within the city 🏙️➡️🏔️🎿. When there’s enough snow 🌨️, Sljeme serves up slopes perfect for beginners and casual skiers 😊🎿 no mega-resorts 🚫🏨, no queues 🚫⏳, just straightforward winter sport close to home 🏡❄️.

And if skiing isn’t your thing 🙃, there’s skating ✨⛸️: outdoor ice skating at Šalata 🌌⛸️, or indoor rinks at Velesajam or the Admiral Ice Dome 🏟️❄️ playful 😄, social 🤍, and very winter-appropriate 🌨️.

After the festivities are over 🎭➡️🌙, what remains is everyday life and that’s where genuine connection happens 🤝💬. Winter is for slowing down 🐢✨, sharing stories 📖🕯️, warming up together 🔥🧣, and finding comfort in good company 👥🤍.

And the best way to share it? At SFIZ.FUN. Our meetups are where plans get made, tips get swapped, and crews form to explore Zagreb together. 🌍💖

🍺 Why The Beertija?

Because it’s that place everyone ends up wishing they’d gone to 😏✨ Warm beer cellar vibes 🍻🔥, cosy living-room energy 🛋️☕, 🚭 non-smoking inside (happy clothes, happy lungs 😌), plus a covered outdoor patio for quick smoke breaks 🚬😉. Skip it, and you’ll hear about it later 👀💬

💡 Top tip: Turn up early, smile, catch someone’s eye, and dive into conversation, that’s how the magic starts 😉💫

No pressure, just rock up and join the crew.

💖 Let’s ditch the screen, grab a drink, and meet the world!

See you soon,

SFIZ Crew

🎭 Winter is when Zagreb slows. The days are cold and sometimes snowy, the city quieter, more reflective. It’s the season for winter walks, museums and cinemas, snow-dusted hikes on Sljeme, and simple pleasures like warm food and long conversations indoors.🌍💖💬
Zagreb is unusual in that winter can mean a mini ski break close to home. Sljeme offers easy slopes for beginners and casual skiers, without crowds or queues. Ice skating adds to the rhythm, outdoors at Šalata or indoors at Velesajam and the Admiral Ice Dome. ⛸️🎿
