Zagreb launched its first tram in 1891 and the tramways are still going strong. The tram network now includes 15 day trams and 4 night trams that cover over 50km of track. The rolling stock is a mixture of older trams and 124 brand-new low-floor trams. Trams whisk residents back and forth from the suburbs and also cover central Zagreb which make them a better sightseeing choice than the buses.The one certainty about Zagreb trams is that they're crowded most of the time.
HoursDay trams run from 4am to midnight while the night trams cover the remaining hours. Day trams run every 5 to 22 minutes depending on the line, the time of day and the day of week. For example the popular No 6 line is at the low end of the scale but you may have to wait a while for the trams out to Jarun Lake. Weekday rush hours see the most trams while on Sunday trams can be few and far between. Night trams run every 30 minutes. Download the Zagreb tram schedule (in Croatian) here. PriceIn May 2009, trams became free in the town centre. For two stops in every direction from Trg Jelacica, there is no charge for a tram ride. (See a map of the 'green zone'). For a visitor, that's great news as most of Zagreb's sights lie within the free zone. Otherwise the prices are as follows:
How to Use the TramwayIt's best to have a copy of a tram map as there are not necessarily tram maps at outlying tram stations. Also, tram stops do not have timetables and some tram stations are poorly marked. Individual tickets are good for one ride plus transfers in the same direction for 1&1/2 hours. Whether you buy a ticket from a tisak or from the driver, you must stamp the ticket in a yellow box as soon as you board. Related Pages
