Maksimir sits in the eastern sector of Zagreb, Croatia’s capital, close to the Maksimir Park and readily reached by city transit from central Zagreb.

How to Get to Stadion Maksimir#
Stadion Maksimir is in the Maksimir neighbourhood northeast of central Zagreb on Maksimirska cesta. From Zagreb city centre (Ban Jelačić Square/Glavni kolodvor) take local trams or buses heading toward Maksimir and alight at the Maksimir/Maksimirska stops; it’s then a 5-15 minute walk to the stadium. By car it’s about 4-5 km from central Zagreb along Maksimirska cesta; expect limited parking on event days.
Tips for Visiting Stadion Maksimir#
- Take public transport to the Maksimir stop rather than driving on matchdays-street parking is limited and traffic around the stadium can become congested.
- Arrive an hour or more before kick‑off to get through security, find your entrance gate, and enjoy the atmosphere in Maksimir Park just outside the stadium.
- If you have time, explore Maksimir Park and the zoo adjacent to the stadium; they're an easy way to add a quieter activity before or after a game.
