C OMIN G TO ZAGR EB

The City of Zagreb is easily reachable by plane, bus or train.

If you fly to Zagreb, you will arrive at the new passenger terminal of Zagreb International Franjo

Tuđman Airport opened on 28 March 2017. The airport is located about 17 km from the centre of the

city. It has a shuttle bus, operated by "Pleso prijevoz". The bus terminal at the Airport is located just

outside the airport building. Airport bus drops you off at Central Bus Station. A one-way bus ticket

may be bought from the driver (paper money only) for 30 kn (HRK) or 5 EUR/person (please prepare

5-euro banknote when paying in euros). There is also a taxi terminal just outside the airport building.

All buses arrive at Zagreb Central Bus Station (Autobusni kolodvor Zagreb) which is located on Marin

Držid Avenue (Avenija Marina Držića), to the south-east of The Main Zagreb Railway Station,

approximately 20 minutes on foot or 3 stops by tram (lines 2 and 6 headed towards Črnomerec)

away. From the Central Bus Station you can take a direct tram to the main square as well (Trg bana

Josipa Jelačića, 5 stops by line 6 towards Črnomerec). Tram stop is located just outside the main

entrance.

Trains arrive at The Main Zagreb Railway Station (Zagrebački Glavni kolodvor) which is located in the

centre of Zagreb, on King Tomislav Square (Trg kralja Tomislava/Tomislavov trg). From the Railway

Station to the main square you can have a nice 10 minute walk through three city parks (known as

“the green horseshoe”) or you can take a tram (lines 6 towards Črnomerec and 13 towards Žitnjak)

and get off at the second stop.

A driver's license, car papers and all relevant insurance documents (except for countries that have

other regulations) are necessary to enter Croatia with a vehicle. If you decide to rent a car, you can

do it at airport, as well as in the city, but it is generally a good idea to make your reservations in

advance.

MEETIN G VENUE - TRIBINA GRA DA ZAGR EB A

Tribina grada Zagreba (City of Zagreb Tribune) is 5 minute walking distance away from the main

square. If you’re coming to the main square by tram, you should get off on “Trg

bana Josipa Jelačida” stop. When you pass by the cathedral and bus stop, you’ll

see it on the right side of Kaptol street, opposite the theatre called Komedija.

After entering the building passage at Kaptol 27 address, you’ll see few stairs to

the entrance door of the Tribune on the right. Don't get confused with the Royal

India restaurant sign. You're at the right place!

PUBLIC TRAN SPORTATIO N

Zagreb's public transportation system is called ZET, short for Zagrebački Električni Tramvaj (Zagreb

Electric Tram). In the centre of the city it is organized primarily with trams. Major tram stops have

electronic displays with the information about the tram line and the direction, as well as the time of

its arrival at that stop. Trams run every 8-13 minutes, depending on the line and the part of the day.

All low-floor trams are equipped with audio-visual announcements.

Paper tram tickets (valid also for buses, which operate mainly in suburb parts of the city) can be

bought at “Tisak” kiosks, ZET stores or from the tram driver. They shall be validated inside the tram

at ticket machines at either end of the tram (middle machines will not validate paper tickets).

There are several types of paper tickets you can choose: one-way tickets valid

for 30 min (4 kn) or 90 min (10 kn), a day ticket (30 kn) and multi-day tickets

(3 days = 70 kn, 7 days = 150 kn).

The price of a single ticket for the night lines (from 00:00 to 04:00) is 15 kn.

Please note that tram tickets could be paid in Croatian currency “kuna” only. There are exchange

offices at the airport, close to the Railway Station, Bus Station and around the main square. The

exchange rate is determined on a daily basis with the average buying rate in March 2017 being

1 EUR = 7,38 kn (HRK).

A funicular (uspinjača) in Tomideva street is not only the tourist attraction,

but also a means to get you from the city centre known as Lower Town

(Donji grad) to the historical part of the city called Upper Town (Gornji grad)

if you don’t feel like climbing the stairs. It runs every 10 minutes and the

ticket can be bought at the entrance for 4 kn (valid for one-way ride).

Zagreb has an automatic bike sharing system Nextbike. Prior to your first rental, it is neccessary to

activate your nextbike account which automatically activates standard tariff. Registration is free, but

mandatory. For the activation of your nextbike account you need to transfer 79 kn to nextbike

account and this amount can be used as a credit for bike rentals. Every day the first 30-minutes are

free of charge and every additional 60 min are charged 8 kn (5-24 hour ride is charged 79 kn). There

are more than 10 locations where you can find nextbike, one of them being at the Railway Station.

Using taxi services in Zagreb is relatively inexpensive. Fares can vary between the companies with

the average price of 6 kn per km. Start is charged 6-10 kn.
