Getting around Zagreb

Wikivoyage places Franjo Tuđman Airport in Pleso, 17 km south-east of the city centre, and says airport buses run to the main bus station, which is in the wider city centre, with a journey of about 30 minutes. A local ZET bus also runs between the airport and the centre, and taxis are listed too. Wikivoyage says the main railway station is central and the main bus station is about a ten-minute walk to its south-east, or three stops by tram.

ZET, the city's public transport operator, runs the trams and buses and, according to Wikivoyage, the funicular and the Sljeme cable car. Wikivoyage says the tram network runs around the clock, with night lines covering most daytime routes at reduced frequency, and that a single ticket is valid across trams and buses within its time limit. The ZET site describes the Sljeme cable car as connecting Gračansko dolje with the summit, with an air route of about 5 km. Wikivoyage also says Croatian Railways suburban trains connect the suburbs with the central station.

Wikivoyage lists the Zagreb Card, which covers public transport and gives museum discounts, and the Moj ZET app for buying tickets on a phone.

Wikivoyage describes Mount Sljeme, the highest part of the Medvednica range at 1,035 metres, as popular for hiking and trail running, reached by tram and then the cable car, and says the mountain also holds the preserved Medvedgrad fortress.
