TORCIDA
Next to the former stadium
of local team Hadjuk, the
unofficial flagship club of
Dalmatia, this supporters
club is open to all. Inside an
unpromising doorway, flanked
by bars that fill with rugby fans
when Croatia rugby is in town,
the first-floor Torcida bar is
full of Hajduk history. Dapper
Dalmatians in trilbies in Tito’s
time cheer on their heroes.
DRINK:
Ožujsko beer
FOOD:
Burek

while adults snack on steak-
frites before sinking a few
Kronenbourgs. Wines may
come by the carafe.
