How to prepare for driving in Zagreb?

Zagreb is a city with specific traffic infrastructure and laws that you should know to feel safe and comfortable while driving. Here are a few useful tips:

  • Parking: Central Zagreb has many parking zones, but it is recommended to park in designated car parks to avoid fines. There are also several parking garages that are often cheaper than street parking.
  • Traffic laws: In Zagreb, as throughout Croatia, you must respect traffic regulations, such as speed limits (50 km/h in built-up areas, 90–110 km/h outside built-up areas), and wearing seat belts for all passengers.
  • Navigation: If you are new to Zagreb, we recommend using navigation, which will help you navigate the city more easily and avoid traffic jams.
  • Traffic congestion: Zagreb's streets can be very busy, especially during morning and afternoon hours, so plan your journey in advance and allow for possible delays at traffic hotspots.
  • Expressways and motorways: Zagreb's traffic system includes quick connections to other parts of Croatia via motorways, so driving to various destinations such as Rijeka, Split, or Osijek will not be a problem
