Dubrovnik에서 Zagreb까지 Private car transfer

If you get tired walking down the long street, you can either take a tram back or sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee at one of the numerous cafes there. Speaking of which, Zagreb is known for its special coffee culture where “let’s go for a coffee” does not mean having just a quick drink. If a local invites you for a cup of coffee (which does not necessarily have to be coffee; it can also be a beer, wine, or juice), you need to set aside a few hours (usually 2 to 3) from your schedule, as for Croatians it is time to socialize, catch up, and have long talks.

Zagreb also has the shortest funicular in the world, covering just a 216-foot (66-meter) distance. And while the steep ride takes just 1 minute, it is more about the experience itself, as it offers a great view of the city. The funicular, known as Zagreb’s very first public transport, was built in 1890 and has been running since 1893. It connects the upper and lower towns of Zagreb.

Know the Croatian character

Croatians (and Balkan people in general) are known for their warm and friendly nature. However, they are also very straightforward and authentic, which might put foreigners off in the beginning. Do not take it personally, as it’s not intended as rudeness. You will see how welcoming they are once you get to know them better. Don’t be surprised if they invite you to their home to sample their homemade rakija; that’s how friendly they are, even towards strangers!

From Dubrovnik to Zagreb by plane

If you are planning to travel by air, you can also hop on a plane, as both cities have an airport. Croatian Airlines flights depart three to four times a day, and the cheapest tickets start from just $62 (€58) with a journey time of 55 minutes. While it seems like a convenient and quick way to reach Zagreb, you have to factor in commuting to and from the airport, as well as the wait time, which is 2 hours before the scheduled departure. So instead of just 55 minutes, you will spend at least 4 hours traveling.

From Dubrovnik to Zagreb by private car service

For those who prefer flexibility and comfort, a private car service will be the perfect option for reaching Zagreb. Your Daytrip driver will pick you up from your accommodation in Dubrovnik and drop you off at your hotel in Zagreb. Do you still not have a plan for your trip to Zagreb? No worries, your local English-speaking driver won’t keep under wraps any of the best spots in the capital of Croatia!

As you drive along the coast and move towards the inland of Croatia, take some breaks and stretch your legs by adding sightseeing stops along the way. While still by the Mediterranean coast, explore the island of Trogir and the town of Sibenik. Both of them will surprise you with UNESCO-listed landmarks and their historical heritage. As you start approaching Zagreb, take a refreshing break at the Plitvice Lakes National Park and admire the magical waterfalls. Finish off the sightseeing journey by treating yourself to the scenic views of the Rastoke village.

Without adding stops to your journey, you will reach Zagreb in 6 hours and 10 minutes. Since you can explore other parts of Croatia along the way, Daytrip service is the most convenient travel option, especially when compared to the long bus ride and airport wait times.

Get lost in the Maksimir Park

If you are seeking an escape from the bustling city, visit Maksimir Park for a peaceful walk. At this well-maintained park, you will find lakes, lots of paths, green areas, a coffee shop, and even playgrounds for kids. It is located next to the Zagreb Zoo, which is an ideal plan if you are traveling with kids.

Explore the underground of Zagreb

A visit to the tunnels of Zagreb will add a pinch of mystery to your trip. The 350-meter-long tunnel network was built in 1943 during World War II as a shelter for civilians. Nowadays, even festivals and events are held there. In December, the tunnel is turned into a little wonderland with a festive atmosphere, so make sure you add it to your itinerary.

Taste the local flavors

The influence of different cultures is also reflected in the cuisine of Zagreb. Here are two of the most popular dishes that you have to try during your stay:

• Zagrebački odrezak: a breaded and fried schnitzel made of pork, filled with ham and cheese.
• Purica s mlincima: a roasted turkey with mlinci which is a side dish similar to pasta and flatbread.
