YOUNG PEOPLE DRINKING COFFEE, TALKING AND HAVING FUN IS AN EVERYDAY SCENE FROM TKALČIĆEVA STREET

History The street was named after John the 8 Baptist Tkalčić (4 May 1840 – 11 May 1905) who was Kaptol's historian and ar- chaeologist responsible for discovering and recording a lot of data on the . Tkalčićeva street is located be- tween Gradec and Kaptol and above the Medveščak brook. It used to be the street of workers, the poor, and the servants who worked for the wealthy from Gradec or for church dignitaries from Kaptol. Today it is one of the most elite destinations in the very centre of the city. It is an indispensa- ble place for tourists who visit Zagreb, and for many people it is generally an indispen- sable place for leisure time. Bars and pubs A group of students and young people hav- 8ing coffee after school or work and talking is a scene from Oliver Twist Cafe when we visit- ed Tkalčićeva. Mali Medo Pub is also one of the most popular places in the city located right there. It is a perfect place to have beer in the city centre. The outdoor terrace extends to a large part of "Tkalča" and accommodates over 400 guests. Next to the pub there is a souvenir shop where you can buy bottled beer, mugs, T-shirts, etc. There is also the Beer Exchange where the demand determines the price of beer. The sunny afternoon has lured a number of people outside to have beer. His- tory Village is one of the most popular places to go out. Apart from History Village, there is also the pop- ular Alcatraz. Both clubs work during the day as cof- fee bars.
