Zagreb Tram

Zagreb’s trams connect the walkable center with the main railway and bus stations, Novi Zagreb, Jarun, Maksimir, Dubrava, Črnomerec, and the foothills. Ban Jelačić Square is the central reference point, but many useful cross-city routes use Glavni kolodvor or the east-west streets around it instead.

Tickets and payment

The least expensive single option is the 30-minute ticket at €0.53 when bought before boarding. The 60-minute ticket costs €0.93, the 90-minute ticket costs €1.33, and a daily ticket costs €3.98. Buying from the driver costs more.

Paper tickets must be validated on board. The Moj ZET app sells tickets and validates them by QR or NFC. That NFC feature belongs to the app and is not open-loop payment. A Visa or Mastercard cannot simply be tapped on a tram validator to pay the fare.

Fleet and accessibility

ZET runs modern low-floor, climate-controlled trams alongside older high-floor cars. Twenty new low-floor vehicles entered service in 2025, and the next batch is being delivered during 2026. A particular route or departure is not guaranteed to use one.

Accessibility therefore varies. Low-floor cars are substantially easier for wheelchair users, but older vehicles have steps and some street platforms do not provide level boarding. At stops set within the roadway, wait for traffic to stop before crossing to or from the tram.

Summer 2026 changes

Track reconstruction is changing the eastern network. Lines 9 and 17 terminate at Trg žrtava fašizma instead of Borongaj, with bus 602 continuing east. Line 13 is suspended, and Night Line 33 is replaced by a bus during the Ulica grada Vukovara closure. Check ZET’s service notices near travel because these arrangements have specific end dates and can change as work advances.
