Where to stay in Podsljeme
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
The mountain decides this one. Podsljeme sits about 5 km north of central Zagreb in the foothills of Medvednica, which puts a stay here on the walking side of the city rather than in the middle of it. Our Lady of Remete and the Dotrščina Memorial Park anchor the two ends of the district.
Gračani and Bešići carry the rest.
