Carpe Diem Hostel
Zagreb (Croatia)

We are located in residential area, surrounded by the hills of Zagreb, but with easy access to the town centre and all the major attractions.

This nice garden house has two six bed, and one four bed dorms; shared bathroom, two toilets, kitchen and a lounge area with TV. The garden is another great place to chill out: green grass, benches and tables.

Three different bus lines serve this area but you’ll see how close we are of the main streets of Zagreb.

Zagreb is an old Central European city. It is located on the intersection of several important routes between the Adriatic coast and Central Europe.
Zagreb offers its guests the Baroque feel of the upper town, picturesque open-air markets, various kinds of shops and delicious local cuisine.

If you arrive by plane, Zagreb Pleso Airport is about 20km from the heart of Zagreb. You can take a taxi (about £20/$38/€29) or we can pick you up at airport for 10 euros. If you like you can take the inexpensive Croatia Airlines bus which takes you to the main bus station in central Zagreb. Buses leave every half an hour outside the airport terminal, and tickets, costing 30 Kunas (£3/$5.50/€4.50), can be bought from the bus driver. Once you arrive at the bus station, you can flag down a taxi to take you to your accommodation or use a tram to complete your journey. (the way from the main bus station is written on the bottom)

Almost all visitors are puzzled as to how to obtain tickets for trams as they are not sold on-board: walk to the first newspaper kiosk and ask for a "tramvajska karta" (tram ticket) which are sold singly or in packs of ten. Once you board the tram, you must remember to validate your card in the machines.

From main train station:

Take a tram number 6 (direction Crnomerec) or number 13 (direction Zitnjak). Get out on the 2nd station, and will find yourself on main Zagreb square (Ban Jelacic square). Then you can walk to the Zagreb Cathedral (2 minutes) you see it from the square! There is a bus terminal, you choose bus lines 106, 201 or 226 and take off on a third station! (This option is better if you have a heavy backpack because bus leaves you by the hostel and you don’t have to walk uphill!!) You cross the street and go back 30 meters and on the right side just before the store is little Milana Sufflaya street where our hostel is located on number three. If you come to the rundabout you have missed it go back!
The other way from the main square is to take a tram number 14 (direction Mihaljevac – opposite direction then you came from the train station!) and get out on the 2nd station. („Grskoviceva street“station). Get back about 30 meters and on the left side is Grskoviceva street. You need to go 5-10 minutes in the Grskoviceva, when the road splits follow the curve to the right and on the left side is little street „Ulica Milana Sufflaya', immediately before the pharmacy. If you come to roundabout you have gone too far and Milana Sufflaya is behind you where our hostel is located on number 3.
