Local Transportation
- TRAM/BUS
Zagreb is Tram City. If you print out a tram route from ZET (Zagreb Tram) then you will never get lost. Tickets cost 8 Kuna (1.1 euros) and last for 90 mins. Don't forget to stamp them and have fun. If you buy a one way ticket at a kiosk (DUHAN or TISAK) it costs 8 Kuna, if you buy it inside the tram or the bus it costs 10 Kuna. The drivers in the new (big blue shiny) trams don´t sell tickets. A day ticket (18 Kuna) is a very good idea and can be bought either at the kiosk or in the tram/bus. It is valid until 4.00 of the next day, so you don´t have to worry about night fares. Night trams can be substituted with night buses. The 72 hr Zagreb card allows all travel on trams, buses and the ski lift up the mountain. For this take number 14 from the stop opposite the statue to the end of the line and then the 15 to the end of that line, walk for 15 mins through the woods to the bottom of the ski lift. Views from the top are great.
