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’).

Depending on why you’re travelling and how long you plan to stay, you may require a visa for travel to the Schengen area. Check the European Entry and Exit (EES) and visa rules before you travel. If you’re a dual national of a European country, check whether the EES applies to you and what passport you should enter on. There may be delays at border crossings (see ‘Travel’).

We advise:

Exercise normal safety precautions in Croatia.
