What are transportation options and challenges in Zagreb?

Zagreb is a comparatively small city, depending on from where you come. It is the most populous city in Croatia, but small when compared to London or Istanbul. Public transportation during night hours and weekends is sporadic, but more regular from Monday to Friday at day. You can purchase a monthly ticket or a one-ride ticket for the bus or train, the latter which can be bought only at stands, not in vehicles themselves.

Zagreb is the capital of Croatia. It is an old city which used to be two towns: Kaptol and Gradec. It has about one million of inhabitants and might remind you of Vienna, except that it is smaller and much cozier. If you decide to move to Zagreb, you will be able to enjoy rides in Zagreb’s iconic blue trams and buses, drink endless cups of coffee in Zagreb’s many cafes and buy your vegetables and fruit at the famous farmer’s market Dolac. Most importantly, if you want to walk the walk and act like you were born in Zagreb, you have to tell your friends to meet at the main square, which the locals simply call “Trg”. Everyone who’s lived in Zagreb for longer than a month will instantly know the exact spot on the main square where you will meet: in the west of the square, right under the traditional street clock.
