Public protests and events that draw large crowds can turn violent, including at sporting events. Be aware that rivalries at some high-profile soccer matches can result in potential violence and crowd unrest (see ‘Safety’).

The new European Entry/Exit System (EES) has started for all non-EU nationals, including Australians, travelling in or out of the Schengen Area. You’ll need to register at borders and have your fingerprint and photo taken. There may be longer border queues (see ‘Travel’).

We advise:

Exercise normal safety precautions in Croatia.
