Best Time to Visit
The best months to visit Zagreb are probably the shoulder months of May and September, when temperatures are warm, days are long enough, and the city is busy, but not too much. June, July and August are the hottest and busiest months of the year. Winters are quite cold and wet but still more pleasant than in other parts of the world.

Public transport
The local transport in Zagreb is shared between an efficient system of buses and trams that are run by ZET, the municipal authorities. Trams and buses operate following a daily scheme from 4am until midnight, then the night service starts to operate, which is reduced compared to the day service. The network is divided into 3 zones, but the trams operate only in zone 1, so you only need a ticket for more than one zone if you are planning a suburban expedition. Tickets for buses and trams can be bought from the newspaper stands.
