Croatia

Zagreb

Croatia's only full tram network runs through the city. Buy before you board and stamp a paper ticket once, at the machine by the front door. Only the buses make you think about zones.

Zagreb trams (tramvaj)

Zagreb's trams have no gates and no tap-to-ride with a bank card. Buy first, then stamp the paper ticket once in the front-door machine, or touch a ZET IC card at any door. Track works keep lines 1 and 13 off in 2026.

How to ride

  1. 1
    Buy your ticket before you board
    Buy at a Tisak or iNovine kiosk, or at a ZET office. The driver sells tickets too, but at a higher price.
  2. 2
    Buy multi-day tickets at a ZET office
    Tickets of three days or more are not sold at kiosks, and most offices open weekdays only, mornings or afternoons by day.
  3. 3
    Stamp it the moment you board
    Push a paper ticket into the front-door machine once; new trams have rear-door machines. No stamp, or one on the back, voids it.
  4. 4
    With an IC card, tap at any door
    Hold a ZET IC card to a reader every time you board - credit alone counts for nothing if you skip the tap.
  5. 5
    Keep going on the same ticket
    Inside its window a paper single carries you on; a second stamp voids it. You cannot double back toward the line you started on.
  6. 6
    Show your ticket when asked
    Inspectors may be in plain clothes. Show your ticket on request; without one you are required to give your identity.

Heads-up

  • Track works have lines 1 and 13 off the road

    Track works have rearranged the tram map for 2026. Lines 1 and 13 do not run at all, lines 9 and 17 stop short at Trg zrtava fasizma, and replacement bus 602 covers the gap on to Borongaj. Line 7 has been rerouted in both directions. No end date has been published, so do not take a routing app's answer at face value.

Timetable

Operating hours 04:00-24:30, plus night trams
Typical duration Thirteen lines by day and four night lines (31-34) after midnight, so the network barely stops
