Car & Motorcycle

Zagreb is a fairly easy city to navigate by car (main streets are wide, and parking in the city centre, although scarce, only costs 6KN per hour). Watch out for trams buzzing around.

A number of international car-hire companies, such as Hertz, are represented in Zagreb. Bear in mind that local companies usually have lower rates. Local car-rental company Oryx has branches at the airport and inside the Esplanade Hotel as well.

Hrvatski Autoklub provides the Croatia Traffic Info app (available in English, German and Italian) for up-to-date traffic and road conditions as well as roadside assistance in case of a breakdown.

Taxi

Taxi Cammeo Typically the cheapest taxi firm. Waiting time is 40KN per hour.

Ekotaxi Waiting time is 43KN per hour.

Radio Taxi Radio Taxi ranks (usually at blue-marked taxi signs) can be found throughout the centre. Waiting time is 40KN per hour.

Zagreb also has Uber.

Tram

Zagreb’s public transport (www.zet.hr) is based on an efficient network of trams, although the city centre is compact enough to make them almost unnecessary except for going to and from the bus or train station. Tram maps are posted at most stations, making the system easy to navigate.

Bus

Although Zagreb has an excellent bus network linking the centre with the city’s suburbs, travellers will find little use for it. One exception is bus line 106 which goes from Kaptol to Mirogoj.
