Taxis in Zagreb are among the most expensive in Europe; the meter drops at 19 kuna (almost 3 euros). That should change soon.
Taxi Cammeo has long operated in Rijeka, offering a five km trip for only 20 kuna, and now the company plans to move in on the Zagreb market.
“How can this work?” say irate taxi drivers in Zagreb. They claim that there are already too many taxis for too few people. True, but maybe that’s because Zagreb taxis are TOO EXPENSIVE for the average Croatian!
The company faced substantial hurdles in entering the protected Zagreb market but finally succeeded in overcoming opposition. On October 1 the new taxi fleet will be navigating Zagreb streets.

I don’t know about you but I find it reassuring to be able to hit the tourist office as soon as I arrive in my destination. Maps, hotel bookings, general orientation: there’s always plenty of enlightenment to be found in a tourist office.
Now flight-born visitors to Zagreb can enjoy the same convenience. The Zagreb tourist office has just opened a branch at Zagreb Airport. The working hours are:
Mon-Fri 8.30am-4.30pm; Sat and Sun 10am-4pm
The tourist office publishes several helpful brochures and also distributes a free street map of Zagreb.
