How To Get From Zagreb Airport To City Centre Zagreb In 2020

The interest in Zagreb as a tourist destination from International travelers has significantly grown over the years with the capital long being in the shadow of the ever-popular coastal regions of Croatia. Why so you may ask? The city has come to life with its impressive Advent Markets, international events, and its cool and quirky café culture.

With the increase in demand comes the requirement for increased Zagreb public transport to get all those extra people to the city center. The good news is that transport from Zagreb Airport to downtown Zagreb has never been easier.

Whether you need a Zagreb Taxi, Zagreb Airport Transfers or simply want to catch the Zagreb Airport Bus to the Zagreb Main Bus station there are options for all budgets. Below you will find information on the best Zagreb Airport transport options available to you.

Zagreb Airport

Zagreb International Airport or Franjo Tudman Airport is Croatia’s largest and busiest airport and is located just 15 km from the Zagreb center. With flights to Zagreb at an all-time high, the Zagreb Airport transport options have also been beefed up to meet the demand. Zagreb Airport is also the base for Croatia Airlines, the national carrier so you will find many Croatian domestic flights arriving and departing from Zagreb.

Zagreb Airport Transfers

By far the most convenient and comfortable way to get from the airport to the city center Zagreb is by private transfer. The good news is that Zagreb transfers are incredibly competitive and as such the prices are equivalent to a taxi. So, you get a whole lot more for your buck.

With a Zagreb, private transfer, you will be picked up from Zagreb Airport arrivals, the driver will assist you with your bags, and you will be on your way to Zagreb where you will be dropped off at your destination. Prices are generally fixed when you make the booking so there are no hidden surprises and the drivers speak English so you won’t have communications issues.

The big bonus when taking a private transfer as opposed to a taxi in Zagreb is that the service is pre-booked and the driver is waiting for you as you exit customs holding up a sign with your name on it. No Zagreb Taxi queues or wondering where your driver is.
