Cica is a tiny, characterful bar on the buzzing Tkalciceva street specialising in rakija, the potent Croatian fruit brandy. Its shelves are lined with dozens of homemade and infused varieties, from honey and walnut to herbs and wild fruits, and the knowledgeable staff are happy to guide newcomers. Cosy and unpretentious, it is a favourite spot to sample a national tradition, and a lively starting point for a night out along Zagreb’s main bar-lined lane.
