• By Bus
  There is a bus link between the main airport (Zračna luka) and the main bus station (Autobusni kolodvor) in Zagreb. A single (one-way) ticket costs 30 kuna (~ 4,2 Euro) and from the main bus station in downtown Zagreb, you can then connect to the city trams. The ride from the airport to the main bus station takes around 25 minutes via bus. The bus leaves the airport at 7AM and every thirty minutes between 8AM and 8PM. Between the last regular bus at 8PM and the first one at 7AM the next morning, there is a bus leaving for the bus station every time a Croatia Airlines plane lands.

  The bus line between the bus station and the airport is slightly more complicated. The buses are located at the edge (facing city center) of the bus station. You’ll see “croatia airlines” and “eurolines” written on that part of the building.
