Ljubljana Zoo is surprisingly good for Eastern European, if that's your sort of thing. It's in a pretty, rural location too. Taxis there & back are cheap.

Zagreb doesn't have much to do but it's a nice place to walk. It reminded me a bit of Italy, lots of cafes and sitting by the street. I got dragged to a huge cemetery on the edge of town, that was fairly interesting.

That's quite a trip for football, I've not seen enough in Eastern Europe. I'm thinking of Gdansk in February though.

Charlton and on

Belgrade is an extremely confusing city that's not very tourist friendly but a great place to visit if you don't mind getting lost. Public transport is also a bit of a nightmare.

Partizan and Red Start stadiums are practically next to each other though I didn't go in to either.

St Seva, old Street, the castle views over the confluence of the Danube and Sava and splats (boat bars) are all worth visiting. There's a lot of good, cheap restaurants too. Remnants of the NATO bombings are fairly strange to experience first hand but interesting.

Definitely visit the FIFA museum near Enge station in Zürich. You probably only need a couple of hours. Have a walk through the Old Town as well. How long are you in Zürich for?
