From today, Monday, January 20, a comprehensive renovation of the Zagreb funicular will see this popular attraction close to the public until March 2026.
The revamp will focus on the upper and lower stations, the track and tunnel, new passenger cabins and improving accessibility for all.
Connecting Zagreb’s Lower and Upper Towns for 134 years, the Stara dama (‘Old Lady’) is located close to the main square, a short walk along Ilica. It was last overhauled half a century ago, so with tourism booming in Croatia’s capital, another is long overdue.
During the 14-month renovation, you can avoid the steep if short climb by taking bus 105 from Britanski trg or the 150 from alongside the main square, Trg bana Josipa Jelačića. See the ZET website for details.
