The sports infrastructure of the city of Zagreb consists of 164 sports venues ideal for sports enthusiasts. The Sports Facilities Management Institution (Ustanova Upravljanje sportskim objektima) maintains and manages a total of 31 sports venues in addition to Bundek Sports and Recreation Center.

The City of Zagreb is continuously increasing the number of sports venues, especially for sports such as athletics and gymnastics, as well as for martial arts and water sports, which are in short supply.

Gyms and fitness

Some digital nomads might prefer gyms or fitness centers to stay in shape. Exercising makes you feel better, look better, but also live better. 

Avoiding exercise is more dangerous than smoking, heart attack, and diabetes. If you think you’re not at risk because you go to the gym once a week, you’re wrong. Scientists warn that occasional physical activity is just as dangerous as none at all.

The American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate activity each week. It’s only 30 minutes a day, five days a week.
