About this venue
Stadion Varteks is more than a matchday venue—it’s a compact football stadium that keeps fans close to the pitch and turns any evening into a true supporter experience. Its clean, functional stand layout emphasizes excellent sightlines and an intimate atmosphere, so the action feels immediate—without the distance of oversized arenas.
Inside, practicality stands out: strong visibility from most seats, a clear sense of the game’s tempo, and energy that travels quickly through the stands. On event days, visitors especially appreciate a smooth entry and convenient on-site essentials, keeping the focus where it belongs—on the match, the chants, or a special stadium programme.
The stadium is located at Zagrebačka ul. 94, Varaždin, Croatia. The easiest approach is to head straight to Zagrebačka Street and follow signage to the main entrance; parking can typically be found near the complex, with spots suitable for quick drop-off along the road.

About the city
Varaždin, the Baroque gem of northern Croatia, is not only a city of beautiful architecture but also an increasingly recognized destination for concerts and sports events. The blend of a historic center and modern event venues creates an atmosphere where it’s easy to plan a night out, a match-day experience, or an evening of music, with the feeling you’re in a city that’s perfectly visitor-friendly.
The city prides itself on practical connectivity, so getting to key locations such as Arena Varaždin or the Gradski stadion Anđelko Herjavec is straightforward and time-efficient. Within the city you can use the municipal bus network Gradski buseki, and for arrivals from other towns rely on Željeznički kolodvor Varaždin and Autobusni kolodvor Varaždin. If you’re flying in, the most common choice is Franjo Tuđman Airport Zagreb (ZAG), from which Varaždin is quickly reached via road and rail connections.
Beyond the event itself, Varaždin rewards visitors with a stroll through its elegant Baroque core: the Korzo promenade, city squares, and charming streets leading toward the Stari grad Varaždin fortress. For a nature break, there are paths along the Drava River, and many people also visit the famous Varaždinsko groblje, a unique mix of landscaped art and tranquility.
When the lights go down, the city offers a pleasant food scene and a wide range of accommodation, from hotels near the center to quieter options in the surrounding area. Visitors often mention the sense of safety and order, which makes Varaždin an excellent choice for a short getaway and an easy, well-organized trip to an event.
