Zagreb Train Station

The Zagreb train station (Glavni Kododvor) is a throwback to the days when Zagreb was a stop on the Orient Express. There's a grandeur to the train station--especially on the outside. The building is a real classic, rising proudly 2km south of the city's historic core.

Zagreb Train Station

When you leave the station a series of shady parks extends to the centre. Known as the Green Horseshoe, it's a pleasant and relaxed walk.

The interior of the station is cavernous with endlessly high ceilings and enormous halls but the effect is slightly gloomy after the majestic facade. Note that there are stairs to get to the tracks. There may be escalators in the future but not yet.

Buying Train Tickets

There are two separate sets of ticket counters in the train station: the international section and the local section. At the international counters, the staff speak English. At the ticket counters for domestic trains, you take your chances.

You can pay for all tickets with cash or credit cards. You can also buy rail tickets online at Croatia Railways.
