Flights to Zagreb

A flight from London to Zagreb Franjo Tudman Airport takes approximately two hours and 10 minutes.

Zagreb has hot summers, making it a popular time of year to visit. To avoid higher prices and crowds, book a trip for late spring or early autumn, when cheaper flights and quieter attractions are more likely. The weather is still very comfortable for exploring. Use our low fare finder to find the cheapest time to visit.

Compared with other European capitals, Zagreb is a very affordable destination, but you can adjust your budget to fit the type of trip you’re looking for. There are plenty of hostels and lower-priced hotels if you’d rather spend your euros on activities. You can keep costs down on those too by visiting spots with cheap tickets, like the quirky Museum of Broken Relationships. Check the entry details of places on your itinerary before you visit, as some museums are free to enter on certain days of the week. Most of all, Zagreb is very walkable, so you won’t need to spend money on taxis to see the sights.

You can take a shuttle or local bus from the airport into Zagreb, or a taxi straight to your hotel. They’re available outside the airport terminal, and it takes about 40 minutes to reach the city centre. 

You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to see more of Croatia. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.

Zagreb offers up an alternative to some of Croatia’s more well-known cities and towns, but it doesn’t scrimp on the charm that makes the others popular. Once you’ve ticked off the long list of history and beautiful architecture on offer, it’s easy to while away an afternoon sipping on a coffee in the sunshine outside one of the many cafes that line its streets. The city is also geared up for nature lovers, with hike-ready landscapes on its doorstep, and the famous Plitvice Lakes National Park just a couple of hours away. 

You can book a hand baggage-only ticket or make the most of our generous baggage allowance. If you choose economy standard or one of our British Airways Holidays’ packages, each passenger can check in a bag weighing up to 23kg – in addition to a handbag, laptop case or other small bag. Families travelling in any cabin with younger children can also check in one car seat and one fully collapsible pushchair. Read more about baggage allowances for children.

If you’re flying in our business cabin, you can check in two bags weighing up to 32kg each. Read our baggage guide for full details.

Citizens of the UK and Ireland and EU passport holders do not need a visa to visit. If you hold a passport from a country or territory outside of these areas, you may need to apply for a visa before you travel. You can find out more about visa requirements for all the countries we fly to at the IATA Travel Centre.
