Trams & Buses

Getting around town is made all the much easier via the
city’s Tram and Bus Systems, both of which can take you
from A to Z. Tramwise, the city has 15 tram lines that run
from 04:00 - 24:00; the night trams (4 lines) run from 24:00
- 04:00. In terms of buses, a list of departure times can
be found at all bus stops marked by the blue signs with
a bus picture. The biggest bus stop is just south of C-4,
Glavni kolodvor through the Importanne Mall passage.
There are 133 daily bus lines and 4 nightlines which link
Zagreb, Sesvete, Velika Gorica and Zaprešić. The largest
and most known tram and bus stations are positioned at
Črnomerec, Dubec, Glavni kolodvor, and Savski most.
Tickets cost 10kn for daily transport and 15kn for night
rides (00:00 - 04:00), each is valid for 90 minutes, while
daily tickets are 30kn. Tickets are available from the driver
on buses, at kiosks or ZET stores. Children under six ride
free. Please validate your ticket once you board: an un-
validated ticket is as good as no ticket at all, and getting
caught without one is an embarrassing and costly00expe- 100
rience, with inspectors operating on a random schedule.

the musician or group ‘go wild, go all out, and revel in

The Little Market from the Attic
Many people feel they’d love to have better access to
healthy, organically grown food. And at the same time,
producers of organic food need better access to custom-
ers. The Little Market from the Attic (Mali plac s Ta-
vana) is an answer to this problem, enabling people to
have a lot of fun along the way. Here you can find all kinds
of interesting delicacies from the furthest corners of Croa-
tia, plus natural cosmetics, eco-friendly cleaning products
and a whole lot more. It’s also a meeting place where you
can learn from others about growing and enjoying natural
healthy food. For locations and dates check their website.

RNB Confusion Archives ZIYP: What’s the best way to get to know the city and
meet people?
Goran: The best way to get to know the city and meet
people is if you spend time with the people who live life
in this city to the fullest. And by that I mean the various
groups and people who offer the kinds of experiences to
get to know the city; such as, Đir po Zagrebu or via pri-
vate arrangements. In a relaxed and informal way, those
groups will conjure up the best that this wonderful city has
to offer; whether it be interesting places to go out, cultural
places, hidden corners in the centre of the city, or even just
a place on a park bench. If you need help you can call us at
UES Magazine and we’ll be glad to direct you or connect
you to different people.

the answer to the first question you asked me; the second
part I’ll tell you now. The places that offer chances to listen
to the local music scene (bands, DJs, solo artists), along

be: Vintage Industrial Bar, Tvornica Kulture, Melin Cafe on
Tkalčićeva, Vinyl Bar and Močvara. That’s all I can remem-

other interesting places.
ZIYP: Where’s the best place to eat after a night out?

Goran: Zagreb has a few really good places to eat after a
night out, depending on which part of the city you find
yourself in. The place that I prefer is actually really close

Landmarks
The Lotrščak Tower and Grič cannon
(Kula Lotrščak i Grički top)
If in Zagreb you hear the blast of cannon fire, fear not, it
simply means it’s midday. This auditory onslaught is not an
elaborate pigeon-scaring scheme. According to one leg-
end, a cannon shot from the Lotrščak tower soared over
the river Sava and landed in the Turks’ encampment, right
on a platter of chicken that was being carried to the Pasha
for his lunch. The Pasha decided against attacking a city
of fearsome sharpshooters so Zagreb escaped invasion.
Since this ace shot was fired at noon, a cannon has been
fired at that time from the same tower ever since. Sited in
the Upper Town, the tower originally was part of the city’s
defences, and later served as a prison. Nowadays, it houses
a gallery and an art shop, and the view from the top is well
worth the climb.QB/C‑2, Strossmayerovo šetalište 9.

Tomislav Gotovac Footprints

Ever wanted to walk in the footsteps of someone famous?
Well, with Tomislav Gotovac, Croatian actor, director, and

a few minutes walk from the main square, you will come
across imprints of his feet, placed there in celebration of
his piece, “Zagreb, I Love You”, when in 1981 he ran naked
down Ilica, kissing the road as he went. It’s unlikely that
the locals would look too favourably on a repeat of this
famed event by a tourist, but you’ll never know unless you

Hotels
Since Zagreb is a popular tourist hot spot, it is of no surprise
that there is a wide range of accommodation options from
hotels, boutique hotels, hostels, and private accommodation
of different categories and prices. While on the go, where to
snooze is indeed an important decision. In recent years, an in-
flux of hostels has opened around town which are extremely
clean and tidy, with attention given to the arrangement of
the interior. Private accommodation with apartments and
flats are always in demand while the hotel offer now includes
an emergence of classy boutique hotels. Detailed informa-
tion in reference to all types of accommodation is available
on the web site and at the Tourist Information Centres. All in
all, there’s something for everyone’s pocket!

tAX
VAT in Croatia is generally set at 25% and is due on most
goods and services. Lower rates of VAT are applicable to
goods such as bread and milk, and the tourism sector. Em-
ployers are required to report, withhold and pay authorities
all taxes and contributions on behalf of employees for their
incomes. Personal income tax on an employee‘s salary is
determined at the following rates: 12% for a net income up
to 2 200kn, 25% for the difference between net 2 200kn and
11 000kn and 40% for a net income higher than 13 200kn.
Thresholds for tax rates are variable, meaning that the law
determines them on the basis of the deductions allowed, an
amount that changes once a year. City surtax is applicable;
Zagreb residents are taxed 18%. 20% of social contribu-
tions are withheld from the employee‘s gross income and
the employer pays an additional 15.20%. The minimum
startup capital for a limited liability company is the coun-
ter value in kunas of 20 000kn. A foreign founder deposits
the capital into a temporary account with an authorized
City Essentials
business bank. Once the company is Croatian registered
business, the founder can freely transfer such funds into
regular company accounts.
