Zagreb (/ˈzɑːɡrɛb/ ZAH-greb;[7] hr[lower-alpha 1])[9] is the capital and largest city of Croatia.[10] It is in the north of the country, along the Sava river, at the southern slopes of the Medvednica mountain. Zagreb stands near the international border between Croatia and Slovenia at an elevation of approximately 158 m (518 ft) above sea level.[11] At the 2021 census, the city itself had a population of 767,131,[3] while the population of Zagreb metropolitan area is 1,086,528.

The oldest settlement in the vicinity of the city was the Roman Andautonia, in today's Šćitarjevo.[12] The historical record of the name "Zagreb" dates from 1134, in reference to the foundation of the settlement at Kaptol in 1094. Zagreb became a free royal city in 1242.[13] In 1851, Janko Kamauf became Zagreb's first mayor.[14] Zagreb has special status as a Croatian administrative division—it comprises a consolidated city-county (but separate from Zagreb County),[15] and is administratively subdivided into 17 city districts.[16] Most of the city districts lie at a low elevation along the valley of the river Sava, whereas northern and northeastern city districts, such as Podsljeme[17] and Sesvete[18] districts are spread out across the foothills of the Medvednica mountain,[19] making the city's geographical image rather diverse. The city spans about 30 km from east to west, while stretching about 20 km from north to south.[20][21] Zagreb ranks as a global city, with a 'Beta-' rating from the Globalization and World Cities Research Network.[22]

The transportation connections, concentration of industry, and scientific and research institutions and industrial tradition underlie Zagreb's leading economic position in Croatia.[23][24][25] Zagreb is the seat of the central government, administrative bodies, and almost all government ministries.[26][27][28] Almost all of the largest Croatian companies, media, and scientific institutions have their headquarters in the city. Zagreb is the most important transport hub in Croatia: here Central Europe, the Mediterranean and Southeast Europe meet, making the Zagreb area the centre of the road, rail and air networks of Croatia. It is a city known for its diverse economy, high quality of living, museums, sporting, and entertainment events. Major branches of Zagreb's economy include high-tech industries and the service sector.

## Name

The etymology of the name Zagreb is unclear. It was used for the united city only from 1852, but it had been in use as the name of the Zagreb Diocese since the 12th century and was increasingly used for the city in the 17th century.[29] The name is first recorded in a charter by Felician, Archbishop of Esztergom, dated 1134, mentioned as Zagrabiensem episcopatum.[30]

The name is probably derived from Proto-Slavic word Lua error in Module:Language at line 197: Name for the language code "sla-x-proto" could not be retrieved with mw.language.fetchLanguageName, so it should be added to Module:Language/data. which means "hill" or "uplift". An Old Croatian reconstructed name Lua error in Module:Language at line 197: Name for the language code "sla-x-proto" could not be retrieved with mw.language.fetchLanguageName, so it should be added to Module:Language/data. is manifested through the city's former German name, Agram.[31] Some linguists (e.g. Nada Klaić, Miroslav Kravar) propose a metathesis of *Zabreg, which would originate from Old Slavic breg (see Proto-Slavic Lua error in Module:Language at line 197: Name for the language code "sla-x-proto" could not be retrieved with mw.language.fetchLanguageName, so it should be added to Module:Language/data.) in the sense of "riverbank", referring to River Sava. This metathesis has been attested in Kajkavian,[32] but the meaning of "riverbank" is lost in modern Croatian and folk etymology associates it instead with breg "hill", ostensibly referring to Medvednica. Hungarian linguist Gyula Décsy similarly uses metathesis to construct *Chaprakov(o), a putative Slavicisation of a Hungarian hypocorism for "Cyprian", similar to the etymology of Csepreg, Hungary.[33] The most likely derivation is *Zagrębъ in the sense of "embankment" or "rampart", i.e. remains of the 1st millennium fortifications on Grič.[32][31]

In Middle Latin and Modern Latin, Zagreb is known as Agranum (the name of an unrelated Arabian city in Strabo), Zagrabia or Mons Graecensis (also Mons Crecensis, in reference to Grič (Gradec)).

The most common folk etymology of the name of the city has been from the verb stem Lua error in Module:Language at line 197: Name for the language code "sla-x-proto" could not be retrieved with mw.language.fetchLanguageName, so it should be added to Module:Language/data.Lua error in Module:Language at line 197: Name for the language code "sla-x-proto" could not be retrieved with mw.language.fetchLanguageName, so it should be added to Module:Language/data., meaning "to scoop" or "to dig". A folk legend illustrating this derivation, attested but discarded as a serious etymology by Ivan Tkalčić, ties the name to a drought of the early 14th century, during which Augustin Kažotić (c. 1260–1323) is said to have dug a well which miraculously produced water.[34] In another legend,[35][36][37][38][39] a city governor is thirsty and orders a girl named Manda to "scoop" water from the Manduševac well (nowadays a fountain in Ban Jelačić Square), using the imperative: Zagrabi, Mando! ("Scoop, Manda!").[40]

## History

For a chronological guide to this subject, see Timeline of Zagreb.

Ruins of the ancient Roman town Andautonia near Zagreb

The oldest known settlement located near present-day Zagreb, the Roman town of Andautonia, now Ščitarjevo, existed between the 1st and the 5th centuries AD.[41]

The first recorded appearance of the name "Zagreb" dates from 1094, at which time the city existed as two different city centers: the smaller, eastern Kaptol, inhabited mainly by clergy and housing Zagreb Cathedral, and the larger, western Gradec, inhabited mainly by craftsmen and merchants. In 1851 the Ban of Croatia, Josip Jelačić, united Gradec and Kaptol; the name of the main city square, Ban Jelačić Square honors him.[42]

While Croatia formed part of Yugoslavia (1918 to 1991), Zagreb remained an important economic centre of that country, and was the second largest city. After Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, the Parliament of the Republic of Croatia proclaimed Zagreb as the capital of the Republic of Croatia.[43]

### Early Zagreb

The history of Zagreb dates as far back as 1094 when the Hungarian King Ladislaus, returning from his campaign against the Kingdom of Croatia, founded a diocese. Alongside the bishop's see, the canonical settlement Kaptol developed north of Zagreb Cathedral, as did the fortified settlement Gradec on the neighbouring hill, with the border between the two formed by the Medveščak stream.[44] Today the latter is Zagreb's Upper Town (Gornji grad) and is one of the best-preserved urban nuclei in Croatia. Both settlements came under Mongol attack in 1242.[45] As a sign of gratitude for offering him a safe haven from the Mongols, the Croatian and Hungarian King Béla IV granted Gradec the Golden Bull of 1242, which gave its citizens exemption from county rule and autonomy, as well as their own judicial system.[46][47]

### Relationship between Kaptol and Gradec throughout history

The development of Kaptol began in 1094 after the foundation of the diocese, while the growth of Gradec began after the Golden Bull was issued in 1242. In the history of the city of Zagreb, there have been numerous conflicts between Gradec and Kaptol, mainly due to disputed issues of rent collection and due to disputed properties.

The first known conflicts took place in the middle of the 13th century and continued with interruptions until 1667. Because of the conflict, it was recorded that the Bishop of Kaptol excommunicated the residents of Gradec twice.

In the conflicts between Gradec and Kaptol, there were several massacres of the citizens, destruction of houses and looting of citizens. In 1850, Gradec and Kaptol, with surrounding settlements, were united into a single settlement, today's city of Zagreb.[48][49][50][51][52]

### 16th to 18th centuries

There were numerous connections between the Kaptol diocese and the free sovereign town of Gradec for both economic and political reasons, but they were not known as an integrated city, even as Zagreb became the political center, and the regional Sabor (Latin: Congregatio Regnorum Croatiae, Dalmatiae et Slavoniae) representing Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia, first convened at Gradec. Zagreb became the Croatian capital in 1557, with city also being chosen as the seat of the Ban of Croatia in 1621 under ban Nikola IX Frankopan.[53]

At the invitation of the Croatian Parliament, the Jesuits came to Zagreb and built the first grammar school,[54] the St. Catherine's Church (built 1620-1632[55]) and monastery. In 1669, they founded an academy where philosophy, theology, and law were taught, the forerunner of today's University of Zagreb.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, Zagreb was badly devastated by fire and by the plague. In 1776, the royal council (government) moved from Varaždin to Zagreb and during the reign of the Emperor Joseph II Zagreb became the headquarters of the Varaždin and Karlovac general command.[56]

### 19th to mid-20th century

In the 19th century, Zagreb was the center of the Croatian National Revival and saw the foundation of important cultural and historic institutions. In 1850, the town was united under its first mayor – Janko Kamauf.[56]

The first railway line to connect Zagreb with Zidani Most and Sisak opened in 1862 and in 1863 Zagreb received a gasworks. Since 1 January 1877, the Grič cannon fires daily from the Lotrščak Tower on Grič to mark midday. The Zagreb waterworks opened in 1878.

After the 1880 Zagreb earthquake,[57] up to the 1914 outbreak of World War I, development flourished and the town received the characteristic layout which it has today. The first horse-drawn tram dated from 1891. The construction of railway lines enabled the old suburbs to merge gradually into Donji Grad, characterized by a regular block pattern that prevails in Central European cities. This bustling core includes many imposing buildings, monuments, and parks as well as a multitude of museums, theatres, and cinemas. An electric-power plant was built in 1907.

The first half of the 20th century saw a considerable expansion of Zagreb. Before World War I, the city expanded and neighborhoods like Stara Peščenica in the east and Črnomerec in the west grew up. The Rokov perivoj neighbourhood, noted for its Art Nouveau features, was established at the start of the century.[58]

After the war, working-class districts such as Trnje emerged between the railway and the Sava, whereas the construction of residential districts on the hills of the southern slopes of Medvednica was completed between the two World Wars.

In the 1920s, the population of Zagreb increased by 70 percent – the largest demographic boom in the history of the town. In 1926, the first radio station in the region began broadcasting from Zagreb, and in 1947 the Zagreb Fair opened.[56]

During World War II, Zagreb became the capital of the Independent State of Croatia (1941–1945), which was backed by Nazi Germany and by the Italians. The history of Zagreb in World War II became rife with incidents of régime terror and resistance sabotage - the Ustaša régime had thousands of people executed during the war in and near the city. Partisans took the city at the end of the war. From 1945 until 1990, Zagreb functioned as the capital of the Socialist Republic of Croatia, one of the six constituent socialist republics of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

### Contemporary era

Urbanization of Zagreb

The area between the railway and the Sava river witnessed a new construction-boom after World War II. After the mid-1950s, construction of new residential areas south of the Sava river began, resulting in Novi Zagreb (Croatian for New Zagreb), originally called "Južni Zagreb" (Southern Zagreb).[59] From 1999 Novi Zagreb has comprised two city districts: Novi Zagreb – zapad (New Zagreb – West) and Novi Zagreb – istok (New Zagreb – East)

The city also expanded westward and eastward, incorporating Dubrava, Podsused, Jarun, Blato, and other settlements.

During the 1991–1995 Croatian War of Independence, the city saw some sporadic fighting around its JNA army barracks, but escaped major damage. In May 1995, it was targeted by Serb rocket artillery in two rocket attacks which killed seven civilians and wounded many.

An urbanized area connects Zagreb with the surrounding towns of Zaprešić, Samobor, Dugo Selo, and Velika Gorica. Sesvete was the first and the closest area to become a part of the agglomeration and is already included in the City of Zagreb for administrative purposes and now forms the easternmost city district.[60]

## Geography

### Climate

The climate of Zagreb is classified as an oceanic climate (Köppen: Cfb), bordering a humid continental climate (Dfb).

Zagreb has four distinct seasons. Summers are generally warm, sometimes hot. In late May it gets significantly warmer, temperatures start rising and it often becomes very warm or even hot with occasional afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Heatwaves can occur but are short-lived. Temperatures rise above 30 °C (86 °F) on average 14.6 days each summer. During summertime, rainfall is abundant and it mainly falls during thunderstorms. With 840 mm of precipitation per year, Zagreb is Europe's ninth wettest capital, receiving less precipitation than Luxembourg but more than Brussels, Paris or London. Compared to these cities, however, Zagreb has fewer rainy days, but the annual rainfall is higher due to heavier showers occurring mainly in late spring and summer. Autumn in its early stage often brings pleasant and sunny weather with occasional episodes of rain later in the season. Late autumn is characterized by a mild increase in the number of rainy days and a gradual decrease in daily temperature averages. Morning fog is common from mid-October to January, with northern city districts at the foothills of the Medvednica mountain as well as south-central districts along the Sava river being more prone to longer fog accumulation. Winters are relatively cold, bringing overcast skies and a precipitation decrease pattern. February is the driest month, averaging 39 mm of precipitation. On average there are 29 days with snowfall, with the first snow usually falling in early December. However, in recent years, the number of days with snowfall in wintertime has decreased considerably. Spring is characterized by often pleasant but changeable weather. As the season progresses, sunny days become more frequent, bringing higher temperatures. Sometimes cold spells can occur as well, mostly in the season's early stages. The average daily mean temperature in the winter is around 1 °C (34 °F) (from December to February) and the average temperature in the summer is 20 °C (68.0 °F).[61] The highest recorded temperature at the Maksimir weather station was 40.4 °C (104.7 °F) in July 1950, and lowest was −27.3 °C (−17.1 °F) in February 1956.[62] A temperature of −30.5 °C (−22.9 °F) was recorded on the since defunct Borongaj Airfield in February 1940.[63]

Since records began in 1981, the highest temperature recorded at the Rim weather station in Zagreb was 38.4 °C (101.1 °F), on 8 August 2018.[64] The coldest temperature was −19.4 °C (−2.9 °F), on 12 January 1985.[65]

### Cityscape

Panoramic view from Zagreb's Upper town

The most important historical high-rise constructions are Neboder (1958) on Ban Jelačić Square, Cibona Tower (1987), and Zagrepčanka (1976) on Savska Street, Mamutica in Travno (Novi Zagreb – istok district, built in 1974) and Zagreb TV Tower on Sljeme (built in 1973).[67]

In the 2000s, the City Assembly approved a new plan that allowed for the many recent high-rise buildings in Zagreb, such as the Almeria Tower, Eurotower, HOTO Tower, Zagrebtower, Sky Office Tower and the tallest high-rise building in Zagreb Strojarska Business Center.[68][69]

In Novi Zagreb, the neighbourhoods of Blato and Lanište expanded significantly, including the Zagreb Arena and the adjoining business centre.[70]

Due to a long-standing restriction that forbade the construction of 10-story or higher buildings, most of Zagreb's high-rise buildings date from the 1970s and 1980s and new apartment buildings on the outskirts of the city are usually 4–8 floors tall. Exceptions to the restriction have been made in recent years, such as permitting the construction of high-rise buildings in Lanište or Kajzerica.[71]

### Surroundings

Medvedgrad fortress

The wider Zagreb area has been continuously inhabited since the prehistoric period, as witnessed by archaeological findings in the Veternica cave from the Paleolithic and excavation of the remains of the Roman Andautonia near the present village of Šćitarjevo.

Picturesque former villages on the slopes of Medvednica, Šestine, Gračani, and Remete, maintain their rich traditions, including folk costumes, Šestine umbrellas, and gingerbread products.

To the north is the Medvednica mountain (Croatian: Zagrebačka gora), with its highest peak Sljeme (1,035 m), where one of the tallest structures in Croatia, Zagreb TV Tower is located. The Sava and the Kupa valleys are to the south of Zagreb, and the region of Hrvatsko Zagorje is located on the other (northern) side of the Medvednica hill. In mid-January 2005, Sljeme held its first World Ski Championship tournament.

From the summit, weather permitting, the vista reaches as far as Velebit Range along Croatia's rocky northern coast, as well as the snow-capped peaks of the towering Julian Alps in neighboring Slovenia. There are several lodging villages, offering accommodation and restaurants for hikers. Skiers visit Sljeme, which has four ski-runs, three ski-lifts, and a chairlift.

The old Medvedgrad, a recently restored medieval burg was built in the 13th century on Medvednica hill. It overlooks the western part of the city and also hosts the Shrine of the Homeland, a memorial with an eternal flame, where Croatia pays reverence to all its heroes fallen for homeland in its history, customarily on national holidays. The ruined medieval fortress Susedgrad is located on the far-western side of Medvednica hill. It has been abandoned since the early 17th century, but it is visited during the year.

Zagreb occasionally experiences earthquakes, due to the proximity of Žumberak-Medvednica fault zone.[72] It is classified as an area of high seismic activity.[73] The area around Medvednica was the epicentre of the 1880 Zagreb earthquake (magnitude 6.3), and the area is known for occasional landslide threatening houses in the area.[74] The proximity of strong seismic sources presents a real danger of strong earthquakes.[74] Croatian Chief of Office of Emergency Management Pavle Kalinić stated Zagreb experiences around 400 earthquakes a year, most of them being imperceptible. However, in case of a strong earthquake, it is expected that 3,000 people would die and up to 15,000 would be wounded.[75] In 2020 the city experienced a 5.5 magnitude earthquake, which damaged various buildings in the historic downtown area. The city's iconic cathedral lost the cross of one of its towers. This earthquake was the strongest one to affect the city since the destructive 1880 Zagreb earthquake.

Zagreb metropolitan area population is slightly above one million inhabitants,[76] as it includes the Zagreb County.[77] Zagreb metropolitan area makes approximately a quarter of the total population of Croatia. In 1997, the City of Zagreb was given its own special County status, separating it from Zagreb County,[78] although it remains the administrative centre of both.

The majority of its citizens are Croats, making up 93.53% of the population. The other 6.47% of the population are residents belonging to ethnic minorities: 12,035 Serbs (1.57%), 6,566 Bosniaks (0.86%), 3,475 Albanians (0.45%), 2,167 Romani (0.28%), 1,312 Slovenes (0.17%), 1,036 Macedonians (0.15%), 865 Montenegrins (0.11%), and a number of other smaller communities.[79]

After the easing of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, thousands of foreign workers immigrated to Zagreb due to a shortage of labor in Croatia. These workers primarily come from countries such as Nepal, the Philippines, India, and Bangladesh, as well as some European countries including Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo and North Macedonia.[80]

### City governance

According to the constitution, the city of Zagreb, as the capital of Croatia, has a special status. As such, Zagreb performs self-governing public affairs of both city and county. It is also the seat of the Zagreb County which encircles Zagreb. The city administration bodies are the Zagreb City Assembly as the representative body and the Mayor of Zagreb who is the executive head of the city. The current mayor is Tomislav Tomašević (We Can!), elected in the 2021 Zagreb local elections, the second round of which was held on 30 May 2021. There are two deputy mayors elected from the same list, Danijela Dolenec and Luka Korlaet.[85]

Before 2009, the mayor was elected by the City Assembly, but was changed to direct elections by majoritarian vote with a two-round system. The mayor, along with the deputies, may be recalled by a referendum according to the law from not less than 20% of all electors or two-thirds of the assembly. The mayor is responsible for the state administration due to the city's special status, including appointing all heads of city offices and services. The city administration is divided into 12 city offices which are responsible for managing everything from urban planning to culture, the City institute for the Protection of Cultural and Natural Monuments, System Information and Technical Affairs Service, City Administration Expert Service and the City Assembly Expert Service, which is managed by a secretary appointed by the assembly.[86] The city owns Zagreb Holding, a city enterprise which operates many branches carrying out all operating tasks,[87] and Zagreb Electric Tram, the city transit authority.[88]

The city is further subdivided into 218 local committees, the second level of local self-government. They are in charge of organizing cultural or other events in the area and listening to the problems of citizens living there.[90] Since 2024, as part of participatory budgeting, residents can propose and discuss new projects in their neighborhoods.[91][92]

#### Minority councils and representatives

Zagreb is an important tourist center, not only in terms of passengers traveling from the rest of Europe to the Adriatic Sea but also as a travel destination itself. Since the end of the war, it has attracted close to a million visitors annually, mainly from Austria, Germany, and Italy, and in recent years many tourists from far east (South Korea, Japan, China, and last two years, from India). Due to its location and tourism boom during Austria-Hungary, Zagreb saw an increase in need of accommodation, therefore the first registered hotel, Palace Hotel was built in 1907.[116] Today it is an important tourist destination, not only in Croatia, but considering the whole region of southeastern Europe. There are many interesting sights and happenings for tourists to attend in Zagreb, for example, the two statues of Saint George, one at the Republic of Croatia Square, the other at the Stone Gate, where the image of the Virgin Mary is said to be the only thing that did not burn in the 17th-century fire. Also, there is an art installation starting in the Bogovićeva Street, called Nine Views. Zagreb is also famous for its award-winning Christmas market that had been named the one in Europe for three consecutive years (2015, 2016 and 2017) by European Best Destinations.[117][118]

There used to be a mosque in the Meštrović Pavilion during World War II[181] at the Square of the Victims of Fascism, but it was relocated to the neighborhood of Borovje in Peščenica. Mainstream Protestant churches have also been present in Zagreb – Evangelical (Lutheran) Church and Reformed Christian (Calvinist) Church. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is also present in the Zagreb neighborhood of Jarun whereas Jehovah's Witnesses have their headquarters in Central Zagreb.[182] In total there are around 40 non-Catholic religious organizations and denominations in Zagreb with their headquarters and places of worship across the city making it a large and diverse multicultural community.

The only Croatian stock exchange is the Zagreb Stock Exchange, which is located in Eurotower, one of the tallest Croatian skyscrapers.

According to 2008 data, the city of Zagreb has the highest PPP and nominal gross domestic product per capita in Croatia at $32,185 and $27,271 respectively, compared to the Croatian averages of US$18,686 and $15,758.[184]

As of August 2025, the average monthly net salary in Zagreb was €1,446.[185] The average salary in May 2015 was 6,669 kuna (about €870), which is increase of 66.2% in those 10 years.[186][187] At the end of 2025, the average unemployment rate in Zagreb was around 4.6%.[188][189] 34% of companies in Croatia have headquarters in Zagreb, and 38.4% of the Croatian workforce works in Zagreb, including almost all banks, utility and public transport companies.[190][191][192]

## Transport

### Highways

File:Zagreb County OpenStreetMap.svgZagreb bypass existing and planned routes

Zagreb is the hub of five major Croatian highways. The A6 highway was upgraded in October 2008 and leads from Zagreb to Rijeka, forming a part of the Pan-European Corridor Vb. The upgrade coincided with the opening of the bridge over the Mura river on the A4 and the completion of the Hungarian M7, which marked the opening of the first freeway corridor between Rijeka and Budapest.[198] The A1 starts at the Lučko interchange and concurs with the A6 up to the Bosiljevo 2 interchange, connecting Zagreb and Split. A further extension of the A1 up to Dubrovnik is under construction[needs update]. Both highways are tolled by the Croatian highway authorities Hrvatske autoceste and Autocesta Rijeka - Zagreb. The A3 highway (formerly named Bratstvo i jedinstvo) was the showpiece of Croatia in the SFRY. It is the oldest Croatian highway.[199][200] A3 forms a part of the Pan-European Corridor X. The highway starts at the Bregana border crossing, bypasses Zagreb forming the southern arch of the Zagreb bypass, and ends at Lipovac near the Bajakovo border crossing. It continues in Southeast Europe in the direction of Near East. This highway is tolled except for the stretch between Bobovica and Ivanja Reka interchanges.[201]

The A2 highway is a part of the Corridor Xa.[202] It connects Zagreb and the frequently congested Macelj border crossing, forming a near-continuous motorway-level link between Zagreb and Western Europe.[203] Forming a part of the Corridor Vb, highway A4 starts in Zagreb forming the northeastern wing of the Zagreb bypass and leads to Hungary until the Goričan border crossing. It is often used highway around Zagreb.[204]

The railway and the A3 highway along the Sava river that extend to Slavonia (towards Slavonski Brod, Vinkovci, Osijek and Vukovar) are some of the busiest traffic corridors in the country.[205] The railway running along the Sutla river and the A2 highway (Zagreb-Macelj) running through Zagorje, as well as traffic connections with the Pannonian region and Hungary (the Zagorje railroad, the roads and railway to Varaždin – Čakovec and Koprivnica) are linked with truck routes.[206] The southern railway connection to Split operates on a high-speed tilting trains line via the Lika region (renovated in 2004 to allow for a five-hour journey); a faster line along the Una river valley is in use only up to the border between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.[206][207]

### Roads

File:Petlja Držićeva Slavonska.jpgInterchange of Slavonska Avenue and Marin Držić Avenue which connects Novi Zagreb - istok with the rest of the city

The city has an extensive avenue network with numerous main arteries up to ten lanes wide. The busiest roads are the main east–west arteries, former Highway "Brotherhood and Unity", consisting of Ljubljana Avenue, Zagreb Avenue and Slavonia Avenue; and the Vukovar Avenue, the closest bypass of the city center. The avenues were supposed to alleviate the traffic problem, but most of them are nowadays gridlocked during rush hour and others, like Branimirova Avenue and Dubrovnik Avenue which are gridlocked for the whole day.[208][209][210] European routes E59, E65 and E70 serve Zagreb.

#### Bridges

The first bridge with a steel construction was built in 1892 at the end of the Sava road, replacing the previous wooden bridge.[211] Today, Zagreb has six road traffic bridges across the river Sava,[212] and they all span both the river and the levees, making them all by and large longer than 200 m (660 ft).[213][214] In downstream order, these are:

Name  | Year finished  | Type  | Road that goes over  | Other information

|
|
|
|

Road bridges
Podsused Bridge  | 1982  | Two-lane road bridge with a commuter train line (not yet completed)  | Samoborska Road  | Connects Zagreb to its close suburbs by a road to Samobor, the fastest route to Bestovje, Sveta Nedelja, and Strmec.[215]
Jankomir Bridge  | 1958, 2006 (upgrade)  | Four-lane road bridge  | Ljubljanska Avenue  | Connects Ljubljanska Avenue to the Jankomir interchange and Zagreb bypass.[214]
Adriatic Bridge  | 1981  | Six-lane road bridge (also carries tram tracks)  | Adriatic Avenue  | The most famous bridge in Zagreb. The bridge spans from Savska Street in the north to the Remetinec Roundabout in the south.[216]
Liberty Bridge  | 1959  | Four-lane road bridge  | Većeslav Holjevac Avenue  | Relieved the congested Sava Bridge. 1600 tons of steel were used to build it.[217]
Youth Bridge  | 1974  | Six-lane road bridge (also carries tram tracks)  | Marin Držić Avenue  | Connects districts Zapruđe and Trnje.[218]
Homeland Bridge  | 2007  | Four-lane road bridge (also carries two bicycle and two pedestrian lanes; has space reserved for tram tracks)  | Radnička (Workers') Road  | This bridge is the last bridge built on the Sava river to date; it links Peščenica via Radnička street to the Zagreb bypass at Kosnica. It is planned to continue towards Zagreb Airport at Pleso and Velika Gorica, and on to state road D31 going to the south.[219]
Railway bridges
Hendrix Bridge  | 1939  | Two-way railway bridge  | –  | The first bridge on that location was built in 1862 and was later replaced. It got its name after a graffiti saying "Hendrix", referring to Jimi Hendrix, kept reappearing on the bridge despite the authorities removing it.[220]
Sava-Jakuševec Bridge  | 1968  | Two-way railway bridge  | –  | Built by Đuro Đaković.[221]
Pedestrian bridge
Sava Bridge  | 1938  | Pedestrian bridge  | Savska Road  | Its first name was New Sava Bridge. It is the oldest still standing bridge over Sava, and was pedestrianized after the Adriatic Bridge was opened.[222]

### Cycling

The conditions for cycling in Zagreb are favorable because of its flat terrain under the Medvednica mountain[223] and little snowfall during winter.[224] Zagreb has warm summers and cold winters, which can make cycling more difficult.[225] The biking infrastructure in the city are a series of unconnected bike lanes that start and end abruptly instead of forming a connected network. Most of the existing lanes are located on sidewalks and are indicated by a painted line.[226] The city had a Nextbike bike-sharing system from 2013 to 2025,[227] when it was replaced by a €11.6 million city-funded Bajs system.[228] It is maintained by a Nextbike licensed partner Public bicycle system, since they were the only ones to make an offer.[229]

### Public transportation

A suburban train and a tram

Public transportation in the city is organized in multiple layers: the inner parts of the city are mostly covered by trams, while the outer city areas and suburbs are linked with buses and rapid transit commuter rail. The public transportation company Zagreb Electric Tram operates all tram and city bus lines, and most of the suburban bus lines.[230] The Zagreb Funicular (uspinjača), which was built in the 19th century and is only long 66 meters, is a popular tourist attraction. It was built before the Jubilee Economic-Forestry Exhibition to easily travel between the growing lower part of the city and the administrative and political center on the Upper Town.[231][232] To the north, Sljeme, the peak of the Medvednica mountain, is accessible by a gondola lift. The ride lasts for just over 16 minutes and has an elevation of 754 m.[233] Zagreb Bus Station also serves as important hub for bus transport, which is very well connected with rest of the Europe.

The national rail operator Croatian Railways runs a network of urban and suburban train lines in the metropolitan Zagreb area and is a government-owned corporation.

The taxi market has been liberalized in early 2018,[234] and numerous transport companies (including Uber) have been allowed to enter the market. Despite this liberalization, taxi prices were prevented from increasing too much via legislation that capped them on one tenth of the average monthly salary.[235]

#### Tram network

Zagreb has an extensive tram network with 15 day and 4 night lines covering much of the inner- and middle-suburbs of the city.[230][236] The first tram line was opened on 5 September 1891 and trams have been serving as a vital component of Zagreb mass transit ever since.[237] Many new lines were introduced in the coming years, and by 1911, the whole network was electrified.[238] New tracks were continuously added to the network throughout the 20th century,[239] even during World War II under the leadership of Dragutin Mandl.[240][241] The last expansion happened in 2000.[242] The average speed of trams is only 13 km/h (8.08 mph), one of the slowest in Europe.[243][244][245] On narrower streets, the tracks are either shared with car traffic or separated by a painted yellow line, which can still be used by taxis, buses and emergency vehicles, which can slow down trams during rush hour, whereas on larger avenues the tracks are situated inside green belts.[246]

The rolling stock consists of the newer Croatian-built Crotram TMK 2100, TMK 2200, TMK 2300 and TMK 2400 tram types, and older Tatra T4YU and KT4YU types.[247] The city also bought 11 used GT6M trams to replace the older TMK 201 trams.[248] Trams transported 121.83 million people in 2024, or roughly 333,773 a day.[249]

### Rail

The train tracks form a circle around the inner-city and have branches going in four directions: Zaprešić, Dugo Selo, Jastrebarsko and Velika Gorica. Zagreb is connected with all major cities in Croatia, including Vinkovci, Karlovac, Rijeka and Split,[250][251] as well with cities in other European countries - Ljubljana, Budapest, Munich and Zurich. A 2024 Greenpeace study found out that Zagreb had much unused potential in connecting with other major European cities, instead prioritizing air travel.[252]

#### Suburban rail

The commuter rail network in Zagreb has existed since 1992, with the introduction of the Savski Marof - Zagreb - Dugo Selo line.[253] In 2005, suburban rail services were increased to a 15-minute frequency serving the middle and outer suburbs of Zagreb, primarily in the east–west direction and to the southern districts. This has enhanced the commuting opportunities across the city.[254] The cities connected by the suburban lines include Harmica, Savski Marof, Zaprešić, Dugo Selo and Velika Gorica.[250] The passenger trains ride on the same tracks as freight trains, which can cause delays.[255] The Zagreb Electric Tram and the Croatian Railways offer combined monthly and yearly ticket passes with discounted prices.[256]

### Air traffic

File:Novi terminal Međunarodne Zračne luke Zagreb.jpgFranjo Tuđman Airport terminal

Zagreb Franjo Tuđman Airport (IATA: ZAG, ICAO: LDZA) is the main Croatian international airport, a 17 km (11 mi) drive southeast of Zagreb in the city of Velika Gorica. The airport is also the main Croatian airbase featuring a fighter squadron, helicopters, as well as military and freight transport aircraft.[257] The airport had 3.45 million passengers in 2019 with a new passenger terminal being opened in late March 2017 that can accommodate up to 5.5 million passengers, and in 2025 it hit record number of passengers with 4.72 million, making it the busiest airport in Croatia and one of the busiest airports in Europe. Zagreb Airport is the only airport in Croatia that has direct flights with Canada, and one of two (with Dubrovnik Airport) to have direct flights with North America.[258] The airport is served by a bus line from Eugen Kvaternik Square.[259]

Zagreb also has a second, smaller airport, Lučko Airfield (ICAO: LDZL). It is home to sports airplanes and a Croatian special police unit, as well as being a military helicopter airbase. Lučko used to be the main airport of Zagreb from 1947 to 1959.[260]

A third, small grass airfield, Buševec, is located just outside Velika Gorica. It is primarily used for sports purposes.[261]

## Education

Zagreb has 136 primary schools and 100 secondary schools, including 30 gymnasia.[262][263] There are 5 public higher education institution and 9 private professional higher education schools.[264]

There are 4 international schools in Zagreb:[265]

* American International School of Zagreb (AISZ)
* The Learning Tree International Kindergarten (TLT)
* French School in Zagreb
* The German School in Zagreb.[266]
