Zagreb is served by an extensive network of buses and trams which are operated by Zagreb Municipal Transit System (ZET) (tel: 0800 200 060, in Croatia only; website: www.zet.hr). The city centre is compact and manageable on foot, but to reach the outlying suburbs, public transport is necessary. Regular bus and tram services operate through the day from 0400 to 2345; at night, services are few and far between. Tickets, which are valid for 90 minutes and should be validated upon boarding, can be bought either from a kiosk or, at a slightly higher price, from the driver. A one-day ticket is also available, while the Zagrebcard pass (see Sightseeing) offers 24 or 72 hours of unlimited travel on city public transport. There is no metro in Zagreb.

It is possible to order a Radio Taxi (tel: 970). Alternatively, there are taxi ranks in front of the train and bus stations, near the main square and in front of the larger hotels.

Very few people choose to ride bikes in the centre of Zagreb, as the nicest part, Gornji Grad, is very steep and cobbled. Bicycle hire is available from the Eurobike Center, Martićeva 11 (tel: (01) 461 9778).
