The capital of Croatia is home to a population of around , people and is the largest city in a country of 4. It is not the most popular tourist destination in Croatia with many more travellers visiting the coastal cities of Split and Dubrovnik or one of its many islands. However, Zagreb does attract a fair number of tourists, mainly for its history, culture and architecture. Though it also has quite a vibrant nightlife, Zagreb is not a destination that is known for its adult thrills.
In this guide, we take a look at the sex scene in Zagreb and find out whether there are any opportunities for an erotic massage, lap dance or brothel experience.
Prostitution is against the law in Croatia with legislation making it illegal to sell sexual services but not to buy them. All associated activities are also prohibited, including running a brothel, pimping, soliciting and trafficking. Areas of the capital were full of brothels and there were plenty of ladies of the night to be found on the streets.
This reputation died a death after WWII but was still found to be true even as recently as the s. Today, however, prostitution is quite rare in Zagreb when compared to other European cities and although you can still find some hookers working the streets of advertising online, it is far less prominent or easy to find.
As ever, the prices reflect the quality of the prostitute with more premium courtesans being available; these women will typically speak good English and be more attractive than the budget escorts. The nationalities of sex workers is largely Croatian and Eastern European with some Western escorts and a minority of Asian hookers. Unlike many cities across Europe, there are very few methods by which to engage the services of a prostitute in Zagreb with the main ways being to hire an escort or to pick up from the streets.
