Zagreb Franjo Tuđman Airport

Zagreb Franjo Tuđman Airport is about 10 km southeast of Zagreb's main railway station. A taxi to the center usually takes 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic. The Pleso Prijevoz airport bus reaches the main bus station in roughly 25 to 40 minutes, and city bus 290 takes about 40 minutes to Kvaternikov trg.

Not exactly. The airport is in Velika Gorica, a separate town just southeast of Zagreb, in the Pleso area. It is still the airport for the capital and lies about 10 km from the main railway station. Road and bus links connect it directly with central Zagreb and with the A3 motorway.

Zagreb airport has one passenger terminal, which opened in March 2017. Arrivals are on the ground floor and departures, with check-in and security, are on the first floor. All airlines use the same building, so there is no need to change terminals when you connect between flights.

Croatia Airlines has its hub at Zagreb and flies to Dubrovnik, Split, Zadar, Pula and many European cities. Ryanair runs a wide network of routes, and Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, KLM, Air France, Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways and flydubai also fly here. Seasonal services include Air Transat to Toronto and T'way Air to Seoul.

Taxis wait outside the terminal building, just beyond the arrivals exit. The ride to central Zagreb usually takes 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic. Make sure the meter is running or agree on the fare before you leave, and use the taxis at the official rank rather than drivers who approach you inside.

Yes. The Pleso Prijevoz airport bus runs non-stop to Zagreb's main bus station about every 30 minutes, taking roughly 25 to 40 minutes. From the station, trams and taxis serve the rest of the city. City bus 290 is a slower option, running to Kvaternikov trg via Velika Gorica in about 40 minutes.

Yes. Uber operates in Zagreb and can pick you up at the airport. Request a ride in the app once you have your luggage, then meet the driver on the upper level of the terminal building. Journey times are similar to a taxi, usually 20 to 30 minutes to the center.

Croatia is part of the EU and has been in the Schengen area since 2023. Arriving from outside Schengen, you pass passport control on arrival. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check visa rules for your nationality before travel.

There is no direct public transport from the airport to Plitvice Lakes National Park. You can go into Zagreb first and take a long-distance bus from the main bus station, or travel by car or private transfer. By road, the airport is close to the A3 motorway, which connects with the A1 toward the park and the coast.

Yes. Direct coaches run from Zagreb airport to Ljubljana in Slovenia a couple of times a day, taking about 2 hours 20 minutes with a stop at Novo Mesto. There is also a daily coach to Rijeka. Departures are limited, so check the timetable before you fly, or travel by car or transfer.

Zagreb is on Central European Time, UTC+1, and moves to summer time, UTC+2, from late March to late October. Croatia has used the euro since January 2023, and the kuna is no longer in circulation. Summers are hot and winters are cold, so pack for the season.

Zagreb airport is run by MZLZ (Zagreb International Airport Jsc) under a 30-year concession awarded in 2012 to a consortium led by Groupe ADP. The airport handled about 4.7 million passengers in 2025, its busiest year so far. Croatia Airlines has its hub here.
