🇭🇷 Zagreb Glavni kolodvor

Major

Croatia

Zagreb Glavni kolodvor — Zagreb Main Station — is Croatia's principal railway hub, an ornate late-19th-century building that anchors the city's historic Lower Town and faces the famous King Tomislav Square. It serves domestic intercity routes to Split, Rijeka, and Osijek as well as international connections towards Ljubljana, Budapest, Vienna, and further afield. Despite Croatia's expanding road network, the station remains the symbolic and operational heart of the national rail system.
