Zagreb Tram 5

Line 5 connects Prečko, Vrbani, and the Jarun side of western Zagreb with Savski most, Glavni kolodvor, Kvaternikov trg, and Park Maksimir. It gives the southwest a direct ride to the railway station and the eastern edge of the center.

Zagreb’s tramway opened with horse cars in 1891 and converted to electric operation in 1910. Line 5 is part of the numbered electric network whose paths have changed as tracks, termini, and construction plans changed.

ZET uses its own fare system. A 30-minute ticket bought before boarding costs €0.53, while the same ticket bought from the driver costs €0.80. The Moj ZET app can sell and validate tickets by QR or NFC. A contactless bank card cannot simply be tapped as an open-loop fare. Validate your ticket after boarding and keep it for inspection. ZET publishes current fares here.

ZET operates a mixed fleet, including modern low-floor, climate-controlled trams and older high-floor cars. Expect the heaviest loads around the station, city center, and the Jarun commute. A specific departure is not guaranteed to be low-floor.

Accessibility varies by vehicle and stop. Low-floor trams improve wheelchair boarding, but older high-floor cars and street-level platforms can still present steps or gaps. Allow extra time at busy road-running stops and watch for traffic when the platform shares space with the street.
