Now that you are covered without the need for expensive roaming charges there are a few sweet spots in Zagreb you should visit if you want some quick progress in the game.
Hard core Pokemon trainers might want to visit Arena Shopping Center on Thursday, august 4th, for a Pokemon party event Starting at 5 pm the 6 Pokestops very near to each other will be constantly equipped with lures so you can farm those Pidgies all evening! For those trainers in need of battles, there are 3 gyms there. All visitors will have free electricity, so there’s no fear of your battery dying out unless you forget to bring the charger. Also, as the shopping center is away from the city centre, there will be free busses that can take you there: http://www.arenacentar.hr/hr/brand/besplatan-autobus-arena-centra/
If you miss the event, don’t worry! The best spot for Pokemon trainers is Zrinjevac park, in the very heart of Zagreb!
