Unforgettable theatrical evening
In the courtyard of Villa Bedeković, the play "Marathonci trče počasni krug" was performed in front of a full house, and the audience followed this famous theatrical production with enthusiasm. On the same stage, the legendary Đuro Đurić with his performance "Đurologija" once again caused bursts of laughter. This year, special attention was drawn to the play "Tere i Luce," in which Anja Šovagović Despot and Nataša Janjić Medančić presented a modern version of friendship from the perspective of the Croatian theater scene.

On the streets of Varaždin, more than twenty street performers from various countries showcased their skills, creating a special stage experience. Among them, Kraken Orchestra with their unique "fossil ship," Big Bike Orchestra, and Stelzen-Art from Germany with their incredible stilts and glowing costumes stood out.

Creativity and innovation at every turn
Uska Street, often referred to as the most creative corner of Špancirfest, hosted over thirty exhibitors this year. Particularly interesting were exhibitors like WallWare, who presented vintage images mounted on hand-blown glass, and Art+ journal with luxury notebooks. The creativity park was a paradise for young visitors, with numerous workshops and performances, while older guests enjoyed Vindiland, where they could participate in sports activities and socializing with famous athletes.

Špancirfest is not just a cultural event but also a gastronomic paradise. In the Wine Town and Carlsberg Food & Party zone, visitors had the opportunity to enjoy a variety of dishes and drinks, while the Špancir Burger Festival satisfied lovers of barbecue specialties.

Tourism desk

Our Travel Desk was born out of a long-standing passion for travel, discovering new places, and serious journalism. Behind every article stand people who have been living tourism for decades – as travelers, tourism workers, guides, hosts, editors, and reporters. For more than thirty years, destinations, seasonal trends, infrastructure development, changes in travelers’ habits, and everything that turns a trip into an experience – and not just a ticket and an accommodation reservation – have been closely followed. These experiences are transformed into articles conceived as a companion to the reader: honest, informed, and always on the traveler’s side.

At the Travel Desk, we write from the perspective of someone who has truly walked the cobblestones of old towns, taken local buses, waited for the ferry in peak season, and searched for a hidden café in a small alley far from the postcards. Every destination is observed from multiple angles – how travelers experience it, what the locals say about it, what stories are hidden in museums and monuments, but also what the real quality of accommodation, beaches, transport links, and amenities is. Instead of generic descriptions, the focus is on concrete advice, real impressions, and details that are hard to find in official brochures.

Special attention is given to conversations with restaurateurs, private accommodation hosts, local guides, tourism workers, and people who make a living from travelers, as well as those who are only just trying to develop lesser-known destinations. Through such conversations, stories arise that do not show only the most famous attractions but also the rhythm of everyday life, habits, local cuisine, customs, and small rituals that make every place unique. The Travel Desk strives to record this layer of reality and convey it in articles that connect facts with emotion.

The content does not stop at classic travelogues. It also covers topics such as sustainable tourism, off-season travel, safety on the road, responsible behavior towards the local community and nature, as well as practical aspects like public transport, prices, recommended neighborhoods to stay in, and getting your bearings on the ground. Every article goes through a phase of research, fact-checking, and editing to ensure that the information is accurate, clear, and applicable in real situations – from a short weekend trip to a longer stay in a country or city.

The goal of the Travel Desk is that, after reading an article, the reader feels as if they have spoken to someone who has already been there, tried everything, and is now honestly sharing what is worth seeing, what to skip, and where those moments are hidden that turn a trip into a memory. That is why every new story is built slowly and carefully, with respect for the place it is about and for the people who will choose their next destination based on these words.
