🎄 What winter in Croatia is really like | Advent markets 🇭🇷

Winter in Croatia during Advent feels festive on the surface, but daily life in cities like Zagreb, Osijek, Vukovar and Vinkovci is colder, slower, and quieter than most expect. In this winter vlog, I share what living in Croatia is really like during December — from Christmas markets to empty streets and frozen mornings. This video is about: • Advent Christmas markets in Croatia • Winter travel in Eastern Croatia • Quiet cities, local atmosphere, and slow travel • Real winter days, not highlights only • Hiking on Sljeme mountain in snowy Zagreb If you’re planning to visit Croatia in winter, or you’re curious about Advent outside the capital, this vlog will give you an honest feel of the season. 🎥 Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:12 first snow in Zagreb in November 01:25 putting up the Christmas tree 01:40 opening of Advent 2025 in Zagreb, Croatia 04:26 Advent 2025 Zagreb in daylight 08:41 Advent 2025 in Vukovar, Croatia 09:41 Advent 2025 in Vinkovci, Croatia 12:04 Advent 2025 in Osijek, Croatia 14:52 celebrating new year at home 17:55 Zagreb in snow January 2026 18:18 going to Sljeme mountain, Zagreb in snow 18:43 Sljeme Zagreb in snow 23:07 snowing on Sava river, Zagreb 23:21 walking on nasip, Savica in snow 2026 📸 About me I’m a photographer from Moldova sharing travel vlogs, everyday life, and hidden places across the Balkans. 📲 Find me online Website: www.acyvarlan.com Instagram: @acyvarlan Photography: @acyvarlanphotography 🎥 More Croatia videos:    • Canadians in Zagreb | experiencing Croatia...   Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/alfonso-gugliucc...
