Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Zagreb
For most travelers, Zagreb Airport (ZAG) is the clear and most practical choice: it is the only airport located within the city of Zagreb, offering direct and frequent connections to the historic center via public bus, shuttle, or taxi. Other airports on this list serve neighboring cities and are significant distances away. Ljubljana Joze Pucnik Airport (LJU) serves the city of Ljubljana, Slovenia, and requires a cross-border journey that is best handled by shuttle or private transfer. Graz Airport (GRZ) is located in Austria and is primarily an option for those visiting or transiting through the Styria region. Trieste – Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport (TRS) serves the Trieste area in Italy, involving a lengthy trip across Slovenia. Finally, Rijeka International Airport (RJK) is located on the island of Krk and serves the Croatian coast; it is a scenic arrival point but requires dedicated onward transport to reach the capital. We recommend booking private transfers for any cross-border routes, as public rail and bus schedules can be subject to delays at international borders.

Lower Town Zagreb|0.86km from city center
The Esplanade Hotel scores big on location — it's perfectly situated and hard to beat for exploring the area on foot. The beds were genuinely comfortable and made for a restful night's sleep.
That said, the rest of the interior is showing its age. The furniture and furnishings are visibly worn and could use replacing. It doesn't ruin the stay, but it is noticeable and brings the overall experience down a notch.
Overall a solid choice if location and sleep quality are your priorities — just be aware that the room itself has seen better days.FromUS$235

Lower Town Zagreb|0.85km from city center
The hotel is right in the city center, just a 10-minute walk from the University of Zagreb. You simply turn left out of the hotel entrance and walk straight. There are many historic buildings nearby, making it a great area for a stroll. The hotel facilities are a bit dated, but the room size is decent, with enough space left after opening two 28-inch suitcases.FromUS$163

Great hotel, great stuff, the location just cannot be better! Clean, friendly hotel, big and comfirtable rooms, amazing view, nice parking place, nice pool, well maintained gym, many different conference rooms and fantastic environment. I must stress that I am always afraid in such a big hotels that I will wait too long for the hotel elevator. But in the Westin Zagreb, - I didn’t have any problems. As the city is in the very center of the town, everything is so close, and also you can make great shopping. What to say, the best choice to stay in Zagreb!FromUS$142

Superb location, great hotel with the classic and traditional vibes. Good breakfast. Staff at check in seemed a little bit unfriendly.

Zagreb|1.58km from city center
The room was bright and airy with simple, practical furnishings. The bathroom was also quite spacious. It had a large balcony, but the door was locked. Given that a main road runs just below, there's probably a good reason for that.
Breakfast and dinner were included. Dinner was mediocre, not much variety, and drinks had to be ordered separately. However, there was one soup, a rich cauliflower soup, which was a local specialty.
Breakfast was excellent and very plentiful.FromUS$113

The room was great, everything was perfect. The pillows and duvet were very comfortable and everything was spotless. All the facilities seemed brand new. The hotel surroundings were quiet and clean, and it was super convenient to get to both the station and the airport. It would have been absolutely perfect if the front desk staff had better communication skills.FromUS$99

From “A to Z”, this hotel is simply incredible: the kindness of the front desk staff, the comfort of the room, the cleanliness of the property, the deliciousness of the breakfast, the exemplary customer service mindset, etc. I especially thank Ms. Marina to cut my watermelon and serve it on a plate and the 4th floor cleaning lady to help me with my luggages. 110% RECOMMENDED!!FromUS$93

Lower Town Zagreb|1.19km from city center
The hotel is located in the city center, about a 10-15 minute walk from the main square and 20 minutes from the upper town. Zagreb is great for city walks, so it doesn't feel far at all. The hotel service was very warm and friendly; the front desk was always happy to help with anything. The room facilities and breakfast were satisfactory for the price. There's a railway behind the hotel and a tram right outside, so there's some noise, but I didn't think it would affect my sleep. However, those with poor sleep quality might be a little bothered.FromUS$93
