There are 15 routes in Zagreb, and many stop either at Trg bana Jelacica (the main square) or at the main train station. Full details of the tram system can be found on the Zagreb Tram website https://www.zet.hr/en#kategorija_582 .It is also possible to purchase a ticket from the driver – obviously, you will need to board at the very front of the tram. A ticket purchased from the driver costs €0.80.
Taxi Service: Taxis in Zagreb are a great way of exploring the city, especially if you only have a few days in town. Taxis are available 24/7 and offer door-to-door services, whilst they all calculate their fares using a taximeter based on the time and distance travelled. Most common prices are as follows:
Base fee: €1.32
Per Kilometre: €0.80
It is good to know that Zagreb taxi prices do not differ according to the time of day and night.
