By far the quickest way of getting to Croatia from other country’s is by air, via Zagreb airport. There is no direct bus from Zagreb Airport to Varaždin. However, there are services departing from Zagreb Airport and arriving at Varaždin via Zagreb. From Zagreb Airport every 30 minutes a bus goes to Zagreb driving to Zagreb Bus Station from where you have to take another bus for Varaždin. You can buy tickets for buses departing from Zagreb Bus Station on a website.
As Varaždin is located 80 km North of Zagreb, the best way to get there is by car. Cities are connected with the highway, so it’s a nice one hour drive from Croatia’s capital.
