Zagreb is a small and charming city. When I visited in February, there weren’t many tourists, which made my stay very relaxed. The city has an efficient public transportation system, mainly consisting of trams and buses that can take you almost anywhere you want to go. There's also an international bus terminal with routes to neighboring countries like Slovenia and other parts of Croatia.
The tram and bus system uses paper tickets that are valid for different durations—30, 60, or 90 minutes—depending on the fare. When you board a tram, you need to validate your ticket by inserting it into a machine onboard. While ticket inspections don’t happen all the time, I did see staff checking tickets during my stay. I bought a few tickets of different durations from a tobacco booth located right in the center of the Old Town Square, next to the tram station.
Zagreb's city center is very walkable, with many attractions easily accessible on foot. It can be a bit hilly when walking between the Lower Town and Upper Town, but it's manageable. The Old Town Square is a lively meeting spot for locals, and the city offers a range of museums and interesting sites for visitors to explore.
I spent five days in Zagreb, including a day trip by bus to Ljubljana, which I found to be plenty of time to see the city at a comfortable pace.
I stayed right on the Old Town Square, which turned out to be a very convenient location with easy access to the tram system. The locals I met were friendly, and most spoke fluent English.
The taxi ride from the airport to the Old Town Square took about 25 minutes and was smooth. Since cars aren't allowed in the square itself, the taxi dropped me off nearby, and I walked a short distance to my hotel.
