Your Guide to Renting a Car at Zagreb Airport
Franjo Tudman lufthavn (ZAG) er Kroatias største og travleste lufthavn, som betjener hovedstaden Zagreb. Den moderne terminalen, som åpnet i 2017, håndterer over tre millioner passasjerer per år med forbindelser til destinasjoner over hele Europa og lenger. Den ligger omtrent 15 km sørøst for Zagrebs sentrum i Velika Gorica-området.
Den nye terminalbygningen er romslig og godt organisert, med ankommende på bakkenivå. Vår Avax møt-og-hils-ansvarlig vil kontakte deg via WhatsApp så snart du lander og møte deg direkte inne i terminalen. Fra lufthavnen er Zagrebs hovedtorg (Ban Jelacic-torget) en rask 20-minutters kjøretur via D30-veien eller A11-motorveien.
Zagreb lufthavn er et utmerket utgangspunkt for å utforske det kontinentale Kroatia og utover. A1-motorveien forbinder Zagreb med Split (4 timer) og passerer nær Plitvice innsjøer nasjonalpark (2 timer). Mot øst er Slavonia og vinregionen Baranja 3 timer unna. For en kortere dagstur er den sjarmerende bakketoppen byen Samobor bare 30 minutter fra lufthavnen og berømt for sin kremsnita kremkake.
Nearby Attractions
Zagreb Upper Town (Gornji Grad)
The historic heart of Zagreb featuring St. Mark's Church with its colourful tiled roof, the Stone Gate, Lotrscak Tower (which fires a cannon daily at noon), and the Croatian Parliament building.
Plitvice Lakes National Park
Croatia's most famous national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A system of 16 terraced lakes connected by waterfalls set within a dense beech and fir forest. Absolutely unmissable.
Samobor
A charming small town nestled at the foot of the Samobor Hills, known for its traditional kremsnita cream cake, medieval castle ruins, and as a starting point for hiking in the Zumberak Nature Park.
Varazdin
The baroque capital of Croatia, featuring a beautifully preserved Old Town fortress, elegant 18th-century palaces, and the famous Spancirfest street festival held every August.
Driving Tips
Zagreb has a well-connected motorway network. The A1 heads south to Split and Dubrovnik, the A3 runs east-west connecting to Slovenia and Serbia, and the A2 leads north to the Slovenian border. All Croatian motorways use a ticket-based toll system: take a ticket at the entrance and pay at the exit. In Zagreb city centre, paid parking zones are marked by colours (Zone 1 red, Zone 2 yellow, Zone 3 green) with rates decreasing as you move from the centre. Pay via parking meters or the mParking SMS system.
Our Zagreb office is well-connected to local neighbourhoods including Gornji Grad, Donji Grad, Maksimir, Trnje, Trešnjevka, Črnomerec, making it easy to reach your accommodation or explore the city and its surroundings.
