Travel advice for Croatia

Australia advises normal precautions for Croatia.

Use normal precautions because security is good and Croatia is mine-free. From autumn to winter, severe storms and flash floods, including in Dalmatia, can cause traffic disruption, road closures and local flooding; check conditions before travel and follow authorities' instructions. Public hospitals outside major cities and tourist centres may not meet Austrian standards; consider supplementary medical insurance, carry a first-aid kit, and consult a doctor about travel vaccinations.

Travel to Croatia can generally be undertaken safely while following the usual precautions. Apply those standard precautions throughout your stay.

Exercise normal security precautions in Croatia. Petty crime is common, and card fraud may occur. Risks also include overcharging, spiked food and drinks, terrorism, demonstrations, violent incidents at sports events, dangerous coastal waters, and mountain hazards. Secure valuables and luggage, confirm prices, avoid demonstrations, and exercise particular caution in coastal areas, on beaches, and during hiking or climbing.

Normal precautions apply, and Hungarians should carry valid identification, as Croatian authorities may check it anytime. Expect summer congestion around Zagreb, and after a motorway breakdown stay beyond the barrier until help arrives.

Summer wildfires in coastal counties require following emergency instructions, avoiding closed roads and, in severe danger, staying near shore or water for rescue.

Irish citizens should take normal precautions in Croatia, protecting belongings in busy tourist areas and on trains at night. Known minefields have been cleared, but isolated mountainous and rural areas may not all be clear, so remain on roads, paved areas or marked paths with an experienced guide and never enter taped off areas. Drive on the right and follow rules on lighting, child seats and winter tyres.

Take normal precautions when travelling to Croatia. Guard against pickpocketing and theft, especially in crowded places, and avoid secluded streets, neighbourhoods and parks; using, possessing or selling drugs may lead to fines or prison.

Be prepared for summer wildfires, occasional light earthquakes on the mainland and islands, and sudden mountain weather; hikers should not hike alone and should follow local authorities.

Singapore issues no advisory for Croatia, so normal precautions apply. Short stays, business trips or transit to destinations outside the Schengen Area require a passport valid at least three months beyond intended departure, although six months is recommended. Petty theft is common in tourist areas, and former conflict areas may contain minefields and unexploded ordnances. Heed local warnings, and drivers crossing into Bosnia and Herzegovina need border documents.

Take extra care at sports events, where aggression and violence can occur, and on roads that become heavily congested during the summer tourist season.
