Local knowledge for Zagreb

Where to stay

Most budget hostels sit in Donji Grad (Lower Town), within a short walk of Trg bana Josipa Jelačića and the tram lines running along Ilica. Staying here puts you close to the train station at Tomislavov trg and cuts out the uphill slog to Gornji Grad after a late night.

Getting around

  • Dolac market, just above the main square, runs mornings Tuesday through Sunday. A burek from a vendor there costs a fraction of what the cafes below charge for breakfast.
  • A single ZET tram ticket is valid for 90 minutes of transfers. Trams on Ilica cover most of the city center routes, so you rarely need a taxi unless you are heading out to Jarun lake.
  • Tkalčićeva, the main café and bar street, has happy-hour pricing at most spots from around 5 to 7pm. Come then, not after 9pm, if you want to drink cheaply before the evening crowd locks in full prices.

When to go

October through early December and January through March are the cheapest months for hostels. July and August bring the highest prices and the fullest dorms, and the week of the Advent market in December is a second spike worth booking well ahead for.
