The short answer
24 hotels from our mapped pool sit within 8 km of Maksimir. Next up at the venue: Dinamo Zagreb vs HNK Rijeka on Tuesday 27 October 2026. For that night the cheapest listed room starts around A$128 per night and the median is A$223, +16% against a normal A$192 night. Rates sampled 26 Oct 2026.
Maksimir sits a little outside Zagreb's old town, so every stay here involves some kind of ride rather than a stroll to the gates. Across the 24 hotels we list, the nearest is 1.48 kilometres away and none fall inside an easy walk, so think of this as a short ride on matchday rather than a walk-up venue. Stars run from 3 to 5, giving a spread from simple guesthouses to boutique and full-service hotels, all within 3.24 kilometres of the ground. That range suits both budget-minded fans and those wanting a bit more comfort after the match. Whichever you pick, you're staying in Zagreb proper and heading out to Maksimir for the fixture, not basing yourself in a stadium district. For a league night against Rijeka, demand is usually manageable, but rooms do tighten up fastest closest to the ground as the date approaches, so it pays not to leave the booking too late.
When to book
With 0 of the 24 listed hotels an easy walk from Maksimir, book early if you want one of the closer options, starting from 1.48 kilometres out. This matters more for the higher-profile Europa League fixtures, Dinamo Zagreb against Bayer Leverkusen and Dinamo Zagreb against Sturm Graz, than for the domestic match against Rijeka.

Trams run close to the ground, with lines 4, 5, 7, 11 and 12 stopping on Maksimirska Street and lines 1, 9 and 17 serving Svetice. Some regional trains stop at the small Maksimir station behind the stadium, about a ten minute walk away. ZET bus 203 links Kaptol in the centre with Svetice. Matchday parking is limited and mainly reserved for passholders, so public transport is recommended.

From Franjo Tuđman Airport, bus 290 runs to Kvaternikov trg, where you can pick up a tram or bus towards the stadium.

Matchday parking is limited
There is only a small car park at the ground and it is mainly reserved for passholders and official guests on matchdays. Both the club and independent guides recommend using public transport because of restricted parking space and traffic regulations around big fixtures.
Streets and car parks close for major matches
Ahead of high attendance fixtures Zagreb's transport authority has warned of temporary tram and bus suspensions in the streets around the stadium before and after kick off. For major derbies the City of Zagreb and police also close nearby streets and car parks, such as Hitrec Street and the car park in front of the west stand, to all traffic for several hours.
