Getting Around Zagreb

When you get to Zagreb, you'll find it an easy city to explore because of its efficient system of trams and buses which whisk you around town for a mere 6.50HRK (8HRK if you buy your ticket on board). The trams start early enough in the morning to catch an early flight and run late enough to explore some of Zagreb's nightlife. If you have a lot of travelling to do, buy a day ticket (dnevna karta) for 18KRK. Look for your transport tickets at newspaper kiosks (tisak). Remember to stamp your ticket when you board or you're liable for a fine.

Car

A car is not strictly necessary to visit Zagreb but certainly essential for exploring the Zagreb region. If you do have a car, remember that the town centre is pedestrian only. Outside the central core, it's not hard to find parking and streets are not as traffic clogged as other European capitals.

I find that Autoeurope usually offers the best deals on car rentals in Zagreb. Check the rates .

Otherwise, check out the following car rental companies that also have outlets at Zagreb airport and in the town centre:

Adriatica.net

Autoeurope.com

Economy Car Rentals

Expedia USA

Expedia UK

Travelocity.com

Taxi

The good news is that taxi drivers in Zagreb are generally honest. The bad news is that they cost a lot. The meter drops at 19HRK, more after 10pm and on Sunday. You can find them at the airport, train station, bus station, major hotels, at blue-marked taxi stations or by calling (tel) 970.
