Tržnica Dolac
Dolac Market
Dolac, the 'belly of Zagreb': a century-old market under a sea of red parasols, where 'kumice' from the surrounding villages sell homemade cheese and cream just steps above the main square.
You will practice: Superlatives (najveća, najpoznatija, najljepša), the reflexive passive (prodaje se, nalazi se), and the instrumental after 'prepoznatljiv po' (po tisućama).
