Travelling from Zagreb Airport to the city
If you arrive by plane, Zagreb Pleso Airport is about 20km from the heart of Zagreb. You can take a taxi for about 200 Kunas or so (about £25/$36/€27), but a much better option would be to take the inexpensive Croatia Airlines bus which takes you to the main bus station in central Zagreb. Buses leave every half an hour outside the airport terminal, and tickets, costing 30 Kunas (£3.75/$5.30/€4), can be bought from the bus driver.

Once you arrive at the bus station, you can flag down a taxi to take you to your accommodation or use a tram to complete your journey. Tram lines 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8 run by the bus station.

Public Transport in Zagreb
Trams are undeniably the best way to get around Zagreb - a (reduced) service even runs at night. There are 15 routes in Zagreb, and most stop either at Trg Bana Jelacica or at main train station. Full details of the tram system can be found at the Zagreb Tram website - here's the tram map (dayime services).

Almost all visitors are puzzled as to how to obtain tickets for trams as they are not sold on-board: walk to the first newspaper kiosk and ask for a "tramvajska karta" (tram ticket) which are sold singly or in packs of ten. Once you board the tram, you must remember to validate your card in the machines.

There is also an extensive bus service in the city, with a few routes also operating at night.
