About Podsljeme
Where to stay in Podsljeme
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
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.
About Podsljeme

Four names are filed. Our Lady of Remete heads them, with the churches at Gračani and Bešići making two more, and the Dotrščina Memorial Park standing as the one open space among the four. Medvednica supplies the ground they sit on.
Sljeme is the peak the district takes its name from, and central Zagreb lies about 5 km off.
