Trams are a great way of getting around Donji Grad. Tram no. 6, which connects the bus and train stations with Ban Jelacic Square and continues along fashionable Ilica Street is best.
Cost of a ticket to take your around town 6.50 Kn (8kn if you buy on board, or you can buy a day ticket for 18kn at newspaper kiosks they call ‘Tisak’ or at post offices.
Children under six ride free.
Stamp your ticket once you board as an unstamped ticket is as good as no ticket at all. Getting caught without a ticket costs an additional 150kn.
By Bus
Bus tickets cost the same as tram tickets and can be purchased at the same places.
A list of departure times can be found at all bus stops, marked by blue signs with a bus picture.
By Car
As far as the inner city goes, you’re better off on foot or using public transport as the town centre is pedestrian only.
If you do use a car for exploring the surrounding region of Zagreb, you’ll find it's relatively easy to get parking as streets are not as congested as most other European capitals.
The roads in Zagreb are fairly well maintained, and traffic moves along somewhat smoothly. But if you are driving a car stay alert to tram traffic and all the one way streets.
In town the maximum speed of travel is 50kmh, 80km on secondary roads, and 130km on the highway.
Drinking and driving is illegal.
By Taxi
If you’re looking for taxi to get you around Zagreb, you’ll mostly find them lined up in front of all major hotels as well as the train and bus stations.
You can also hail a taxi from the street, but this may result in higher prices. Best to book one by phone.
Taxis charge a 15Kn flat fee plus 7Kn/km. At night, Sundays and on public holidays an extra 20% is tacked on to bill.
