9. Sljeme Cable Car (Sljemenska žičara)
The cable car leading to Mount Sljeme is a popular tourist attraction and leisure activity. The cable car features modern, comfortable cabins and offers stunning views of the city and surrounding landscape. The journey to the top of the mountain is an ideal starting point for hiking, biking, or skiing in winter. Sljeme is one of Zagreb’s most beloved natural excursion destinations.
10. Zagreb Funicular (Zagrebačka uspinjača)
The Zagreb Funicular connects the Upper Town (Gornji Grad) and the Lower Town (Donji Grad).

The ride takes just one minute, but during that time, it offers beautiful views of the city. The funicular transports thousands of passengers daily and is an important means of transportation in the city, especially popular among tourists who use it to quickly reach the historical landmarks of the Upper Town.

It was originally a Trans Europe Express (TEE) dining car, equipped with all the luxuries of the 1960s then available. The TEE trains were the forerunners of today’s EuroCity trains, connecting the major cities of Western Europe by providing special services. The dining car is open for guests during the entire trip with an a la carte menu suitable for the time of day, which includes both meat and vegetarian dishes. The meals served in the dining car are always prepared by our chef on the train from the freshest ingredients. | | The Continental Salonz bar car, as the train’s social point, is an excellent place to get to know our fellow passengers and make new friends. We await our guests with a wide selection of drinks and snacks in the bar during the entire trip.
