The old town of Đurđevac is beautiful remnant of the past. It is a museum on a top floor, and a restaurant on th ebase floor. It definetely worth spending some time here.

Place you have to visit when you are near Picok City, it has a long and proud history, you can learn about legend of Picok, eat dealicous food or drink a good beer. Also very good for children, there is Croatian Sahara few meters away.

?? NOT ENOUGH FOOD! This is the review for the restaurant. It's like this, in a good restaurant the food needs to be tasty and it needs to be plentiful. These are my 2 parameters. For me, price is only on 3rd place. This restaurant immediately jumped on to charge you well for the food, and somehow they forgot that the food was supposed to be tasty and that there was supposed to be enough of it. The waiters are CONFUSED. Whatever I asked them they shrugged and said “I don’t know”. There is beautiful nature around, you can have a nice walk and sightsee, there is parking nearby which is free. So my recommendation is, come for a walk, look at the camels and BRING SANDWICHES. . ?? PREMALO HRANE! Ovo je recenzija za restoran. Znači ovako, u dobrom restoranu se mora pojesti fino i moraš se moći dobro najesti. To su moja 2 parametra. Mora biti fino i mora biti obilato. Cijena mi je tek na 3.mjestu. Ovaj restoran je odmah skočio na to da vam hranu dobro naplate, a nekako su zaboravili da hrana bude fina i da je bude dovoljno. Konobari su ZBUNJENI. Što god da sam ih pitao su slijegali ramenima i govorili "ne znam". Okolo je lijepa priroda, može se super prošetat i vidjeti, ima parkinga koji je besplatan. Tako da vam je moja preporuka, došite se prošeteti, pogledajte deve i PONESITE SENDVIČE.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
