The most popular sports among males are soccer and basketball. It is not unusual to find the streets deserted when an important soccer or basketball match is being televised. The young people like to get together at cafes. They also love rock concerts. Some famous rock stars could easily draw audiences of 50,000 youth.
Winter days allow day-long ski trips and sled rides in the mountains.
In other seasons, picnics are quite popular. People also like to head for the mountain trails for a hike through the woods. People in the urban areas look forward to the annual summer vacation which tends to be spent at the warm and beautiful beaches of the Adriatic coast or around inland lakes. Some people have their own cottages or occupy a camping site, while others might stay at a hotel or company-sponsored resort. Family games like chess, dominoes, cards and Yahtzee are also regular activities for summer days.
