Don’t think of Hrelic as a dirty place (although it is not that clean, to be honest). As a mat- ter of fact, chances are you will meet a lot of influential Croatian people there. Theater and film workers always seek inspi- ration or props for artistic projects. Musi- cians are pursuing old instruments in good shape, while literature people seek books and albums for their needs. Stamp collec- tors are also on duty, as well as collectors of various natures. You don’t need to belong in either of these groups to love being on Hrel- ic, of course.

If you choose the latter, get on a 1, 6 or 11 tram heading east. The square is often bypassed by tourist guides, usually be- cause it lacks cultural fea- tures such as monuments or statues.
