18 things you need to know before visiting Croatia

Mar 17, 2024 • 7 min read

Plan the perfect Croatia trip with these top tips © TerryPrince / Getty Images

With its glittering coastline, 1244 islands, endlessly fascinating cities and extraordinarily dramatic landscapes, Croatia has been steadily making its way up people’s must-go lists. 

Naturally, tourists are drawn to those beautiful Adriatic beaches that easily hold their own against their Mediterranean rivals. But inland Croatia is just as captivating, from the hilltop villages of Istria to the elegantly buzzing capital, Zagreb .

Don't book your flights just yet though – first, make the most of our planning tips covering everything you need to know about health, safety and etiquette before you go.

1. Don’t overstretch yourself when planning an itinerary

It might be tempting to squeeze in as many destinations as possible into one trip, but you won’t be doing yourself any favors unless you’re staying for at least two weeks. If you’re planning to visit more than one Adriatic island, think realistically about how much time you can spend in each place and how you will be getting around .

Check the schedule of the national ferry operator,  Jadrolinija , if you intend to do some island-hopping. Croatia has an extensive bus network, but factor in some long journey times if you’re traveling along the Adriatic coast.

2.  Croatia's currency is the euro

Although Croatia joined the EU in 2013, the euro was only introduced as the national currency on the January 1, 2023. The Croatian kuna is no longer in use, and if you happen to have any of the old currency, you'll need to go to the Croatian National Bank to exchange them. 

3. Expect to tip at least 10% in restaurants

Croatia’s tipping culture is more laid-back than in other countries. Having said that, it’s customary to leave at least 10% in restaurants and for beauty and spa treatments. In bars and cafes, just round up the bill. Tour guides appreciate a few euros at the end of a tour, and taxi drivers don’t expect a tip, but, again, if you want to round up a fare to the next euro, it’s appreciated. If you’re filling up your car and notice a few students cleaning car windscreens, consider giving them a couple of euros as they’re working for tips only.

4. Croatia is generally considered a safe place to travel

Croatia is a safe country with low levels of violent crime. The most prevalent issue for tourists is pickpocketing, but even that’s on a much lower scale than in other European countries. Solo women travelers should be safe on their own, although it’s wise to ask your accommodation provider if there are any areas in the vicinity that are best avoided. When using taxis, all travelers should make certain they’re using a licensed car either from an official taxi rank or ordered from your hotel. Uber operates in most major towns and cities, including Zagreb, Dubrovnik and Split .

5. Some caution is recommended for LGBTIQ+ travelers 

In this relatively conservative country, homosexuality is tolerated, but LGBTIQ+ travelers should be discreet. Public displays of affection could raise a few eyebrows, and some travelers have experienced hostile reactions. Zagreb’s gay scene is growing, however, and both Zagreb and Split hold Gay Pride festivals every June.

6. Bring some swimming shoes

Most of Croatia’s beaches are pebbly or rocky and can be hard to enjoy in bare feet. Just pick up a pair of those neoprene or plastic swimming shoes you see in all the resorts, and you’ll also be protecting your feet from sea urchins that lurk under rocks and pebbles.

7. Nudity at the beach is pretty standard

Naturist beaches are popular in Croatia, and sometimes you won’t know you’re on one until people start stripping off. Most are marked with FKK – the German phrase “Frei-Körper-Kultur,” meaning free body culture – which isn't surprising as Germans make up some of the biggest numbers of tourists in Croatia. Away from the FKK beaches, topless bathing is quite common.

8. Dodge the crowds in Dubrovnik by timing your visit carefully

There could be times when up to 8000 cruise ship passengers might descend on Dubrovnik in one day. That’s the cue to stay away from the Old Town  within the city walls until they leave in the late afternoon. Keep an eye on the Dubrovnik Port Authority’s website for cruise arrivals and the online crowd monitoring system that predicts the numbers of visitors. 

9. Wi-fi is readily available

Croatia is part of EU roaming, which is handy if you have a contract that allows you to use your data abroad. It’s easy to find wi-fi in cafes and bars – just ask the server for the password ( šifra ).

10. Swimwear is for the beach, not the town

If you’re visiting churches and other sacred sites, keep your shoulders covered and avoid bare thighs. If you’re wearing a hat, take it off when you’re in a church. Even though dress codes are relaxed on the coast, Split, Dubrovnik and Hvar have passed laws against walking around the city in swimwear or bare-chested. Croatians like to dress smartly and take great pride in their appearance, so do as they do and avoid looking scruffy.

11.  Don’t get drunk in public

Croatia has developed a reputation as a place to party, which has led to some areas being inundated with badly behaved drunken tourists. After years of enduring this, the mayor of Hvar Town had enough. In 2017, the destination started to issue fines of up to €700 for public drunkenness and things like taking a drunken nap in a public place, such as on a park bench. Split introduced fines of up to €300 in 2023, placing signs in the city center reminding people that public drinking is not allowed, and that no one should be urinating on the walls of Diocletian's Palace .

12. Get to know the Croatian character

Croatians can be quite reserved people, sometimes appearing brusque. It’s nothing personal, which you'll realize when you get to know them better, and the initial reserve melts to reveal a warm and friendly side.

13. Be tactful when talking about Croatia’s war of independence

The 1990s war that splintered the former Yugoslavia is a topic that needs careful handling. If people show a willingness to talk about it, then by all means ask sensible questions. But don’t be intrusive, and bear in mind that Croatians won’t take too kindly to being called either Yugoslav or Balkan. Similarly, in this predominantly Catholic country, be mindful of making loud statements against religion.

14. You can drink the tap water

Tap water in Croatia is perfectly safe and very drinkable, and you can refill your reusable water bottles at public drinking fountains.

15. Keep your lights on if driving during winter months

If you’re driving in Croatia from November to April, it’s compulsory to have your lights on during daylight hours as well as at night.

16. Croatia has occasional earthquakes

Croatia has a history of earthquakes going back centuries, but two recent ones in 2020 caused significant damage. The quake that shook Zagreb damaged thousands of buildings, many of which are in the old town, including the cathedral. Soon after, the city of Petrinja, about an hour’s drive south of Zagreb, was severely damaged in a quake, and aftershocks rippled throughout the region. If an earthquake happens while you're there, follow local guidance.

17. There are still some landmines

There are still parts of the country in the hinterlands of Northern Dalmatia and Lika where landmines remain from the war of independence, but these will be signposted with a skull and crossbones symbol. Don’t go anywhere near them.

18. Take out travel insurance

Dial 112 for general emergencies, 192 for police, and 194 for an ambulance. If you fall ill in Croatia and you're an EU citizen with a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or a UK citizen with a Global Health Insurance Card, you’re entitled to a vastly reduced price for health care . But even with this cover, you should still take out travel insurance.

The Dubrovnik Card: Why You Should Get a Dubrovnik Pass

Dubrovnik, Croatia is a wonderful, ancient city overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Here you’ll find a charming old walled city, full of history and culture, that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Dubrovnik Card gives you access to major attractions including the famous city walls, as well as free public transport, ensuring you make the most of your time in this beautiful city.

We spent a week in Dubrovnik as part of a month spent exploring Croatia with our kids. As full-time travelers, we see lots of pretty beaches, but our whole family loved exploring this ancient city. The museums in the Old City were a great way to escape the heat, as is kayaking around the famous walls and visiting gorgeous beaches.

In this post we’ll explain what is included in the Dubrovnik Card, also called the Dubrovnik Pass, whether it is worth it, where to buy it, how to use it, and why you should get one! We’ll cover who should buy a Dubrovbnik Pass and who should skip. Since the Dubrovnik Card includes admission for one child under seven with every pass, families can save even more than the average visitor.

When we visit cities, we usually stay for at least a week and don’t usually visit a lot of pricey attractions, so often the city cards or city passes don’t make sense for us. This Dubrovnik City Card is the exception! Read on for why the Dubrovnik Pass is a must for your first visit to Dubrovnik, Croatia.

Table of Contents

What is the Dubrovnik Card?

The Dubrovnik Card is a city pass for tourists that includes admission to some of the major sites in Dubrovnik, as well as access to public transportation, and discounts at other attractions, restaurants, and stores. Used properly, the DuPass should save you money on major attractions that you’ll want to visit anyway!

Is the Dubrovnik Pass the Same as the Dubrovnik City Card?

Yes, the Dubrovnik Pass is the official name of the Dubrovnik tourist pass. It was rebranded in 2022 from the name Dubrovnik Card when a digital version was created.

The Dubrovnik Pass can be bought online and used with an app on a mobile device. It is sometimes also abbreviated as the DuPass. They are all the same card designed to make visiting popular attractions in Dubrovnik easy for tourists and give them an incentive to visit some lesser-known attractions as well.

How Many Days Is the Dubrovnik Pass Valid?

The Dubrovnik Pass has three versions- you can buy a Daily Pass (1 Day), 3 Day Pass, or 7 Day Pass. You’ll have to look at which included attractions you are interested in visiting to determine which pass is right for you.

The 3-Day Pass is only 10€ more than the 1-Day Pass, so visiting one extra attraction will justify buying the longer pass and allow you a more relaxed visit, rather than trying to squeeze as much as possible into one day.

What is Included in the Dubrovnik Pass?

The One Day Dubrovnik Pass includes admission to the following attractions in Dubrovnik:

-Dubrovnik City Walls (including Lovrjenac fortress) -Cultural History Museum, Rector’s Palace – Maritime Museum , Fort St. John -Ethnographic Museum -Marin Držić House – Dubrovnik Natural History Museum -Friars Minor Franciscan Monastery Museum (known for its old pharmacy) – Museum of Modern Art Dubrovnik -Dulčić Masle Pulitika Gallery -The Pulitika Studio -Archeological Exhibitions, Fort Revelin

Also includes a 1 Day bus card, valid for 24 hours on city buses.

All passes include one child under 7 in your admission. You may only visit each attraction once.

The 3-Day and 7-Day passes include the same attractions, as well as the Bukovac House in nearby Cavtat. These include 3-day (72 hours) and 7-day (168 hours) bus passes as well. A one-way bus ticket is approximately 2€ without the Dubrovnik Card.

Each Dubrovnik Pass also includes discounts on other attractions, tours, and restaurants. This includes discounts on tickets for the famous Dubrovnik Summer Festival . You can see the full list of discounts , but I would consider these “bonuses” and not factor them directly into the cost of the Dubrovnik Card.

As you book other tours or visit shops or restaurants in Dubrovnik, make sure to inquire whether they offer a discount with your Dubrovnik Card.

What is Not Included in the Dubrovnik City Pass?

There are so many things to do in Dubrovnik, and not all of them are included in the Dubrovnik City Pass. You should note that the Dubrovnik Cable Car up to Mt. Srd and the ferry to Lokrum Island are not included in the Dubrovnik Card. This is one of many families’ favorite things to do in Dubrovnik , and is not cheap.

However, with the 3-Day Pass, you do get a 20% discount on the Lokrum Island Ferry, which increases to 30% with the 7-Day Pass.

Lokrum island is a quiet oasis, and a great day trip away from the heat and crowds of Dubrovnik. It’s also a must for Game of Thrones fans , as the original Iron Throne is located here. Check out our full guide to visiting Lokrum Island .

What Does the Dubrovnik Pass Cost?

As of 2024, the Dubrovnik Pass costs 35€ for the 1 Day Pass, 45€ for the 3 Day Pass, and 55€ for the 7 Day Pass.

There is one price for everyone 7 years old and up, there are no discounts for seniors, students, or children.

Is the Dubrovnik City Card Worth it?

Yes, if you plan to walk the Dubrovnik City Walls, the Dubrovnik City Card is worth getting for adults. The cost of a ticket to the walls is currently 35€, the same as the Daily Pass. You will also be able to bring one child with you, saving their admission cost of 15€.

If you are a first-time visitor to Dubrovnik we highly recommend walking the old city walls of Dubrovnik be one of the first things you do in the city. You’ll get a great overview of the city and can see for miles around, including out to Lokrum Island.

We walked the city walls our first morning in Dubrovnik, and it gave us all a great overview of the city and out to Lokrum Island. Don’t forget to peer into the bell tower to see the famous twin bell ringers called “zelenci”.

You can walk at your own pace, our kids loved exploring the nooks and crannies, and climbing the stairs to get even higher above the city. We also had a chance to take some fun family photos.

Make sure to start early (they open at 8 a.m.) to avoid annoying crowds. We also prefer starting at the entrance on St. Dominics Street, rather than by Pile Gate, as you are less likely to have crowds.

We recommend this City Walls Walking Tour that takes you along the city walls. We have a full list of the best Dubrovnik walking tours from Croatian food tours to ghost tours.

Keep in mind that the Dubrovnik Card also includes skip-the-line access, so you’ll spend more time seeing the sights of Dubrovnik, and less time waiting in line.

If you decide to join one of the popular Game of Thrones Tours in Dubrovnik they usually include a visit to Lovrjenac fortress which was featured as the Red Keep in the series. However, the cost of admission to the fortress is not included in most tours but will be covered by your Dubrovnik Pass.

If you are not planning to walk the City Walls, you’ll need to calculate whether the cost of the DuPass is worth it based on the cost of your planned attractions. Many attractions offer reduced rates to children, so it is unlikely that a DuPass will make sense for children. Instead, buy them only for the adults in your group.

We highly recommend a visit to the Museum of Modern Art Dubrovnik – it’s included in the Dubrovnik Pass, and is a great break from all the ancient sites in Dubrovnik.

Our family also enjoyed visiting the Rector’s Palace , which contains the Cultural History Museum and is also included in the Dubrovnik Pass. This beautiful building houses a mix of displays, from weapons and intricately locked chests, to ornately decorated rooms and painted palanquins.

Pros of the Dubrovnik Card

Here are some of the reasons we think the Dubrovnik Card is a good fit for a lot of visitors to Dubrovnik:

-Skip the Line Access: don’t waste time waiting in line. Dubrovnik can get really crowded, so this is a great benefit.

-Carry Less Cash: Since major attractions are already included, you’ll need to carry less cash and purchase fewer individual tickets

-Incentives to Do More Things: With so many attractions included, you can see more things in Dubrovnik without worrying about “whether they are worth the cost”. Check out a new gallery, or museum, and you may be surprised how much you and your family enjoy it! Without an extra ticket cost, you can pop into an attraction at no extra cost and see if it interests you. We are sure you’ll discover some hidden gems!

-Free Public Transport: No worrying about how much to pay for the bus, grab the bus pass that is included in your Dubrovnik Pass and hop on and off the bus as much as you like. You can easily visit beaches, restaurants, and more outside of Old Town.

-Discounts on tours, additional attractions, restaurants, and more, including the Dubrovnik Summer Festival.

How Do I Buy a Dubrovnik Pass?

The easiest way to buy a Dubrovnik Pass is online! It won’t be activated until you first use it. If you don’t want to buy the Dubrovnik Pass online, you can also purchase it at any tourist board office or major hotel when you are in Dubrovnik.

How Do I Use the Dubrovnik Pass?

Your Dubrovnik card is activated when you use it at your first attraction, or when you get a bus ticket using your city pass, whichever is first. You cannot just board a bus, you must show your pass at a bus ticket window to get an actual bus pass.

Download the Dubrovnik Card App to use the city pass from your mobile phone. You can also buy a Dubrovnik Pass from tourist booths or major hotels.

FAQ: Dubrovnik Card

No, the cable car up to Mt. Srd is not included in the Dubrovnik Card.

Yes, Fort Lovrijenac is included in the Dubrovnik Card, as it is part of the entrance to the Dubrovnik City Walls, which is a central feature of the Dubrovnik Pass.

Yes, if you plan to walk to the walls of Dubrovnik, then the Dubrovnik Card is worth getting. The extra days are easily worthwhile if you plan to visit a few of the other included attractions like the Rector’s Palace and Monastery. The cost of a 1 Day Dubrovnik Pass is the same as the ticket to access the walls. If you are traveling with kids, the pass also includes admission for a child, so you’ll save money.

There You Have It: Dubrovnik City Card

The Dubrovnik Card is a must-have for your first visit to the ancient city of Dubrovnik, Croatia. With its charming walled city, rich history, and UNESCO World Heritage Site status, Dubrovnik is a destination that captures the hearts of travelers from around the world.

With the Dubrovnik Pass, you save money on visits to major attractions, including the renowned city walls. You’ll also be able to avoid the hassle of waiting in long lines or paying for tickets in cash. Walking the city walls is one of the things to do in Dubrovnik, and this alone will pay for your Dubrovnik City Card!

Even if, like us, you usually tend to skip pricey attractions, we highly recommend walking the Dubrovnik City walls, which makes the Dubrovnik Pass worth purchasing. Dubrovnik has so much to offer, we’re sure you’ll be just as captivated by this sunny, coastal city as we were.

Dubrovnik Pass Review & Tips: Is the Dubrovnik Pass Worth It?

The Dubrovnik Pass provides free admission to 12 top attractions in Dubrovnik (e.g., the City Walls, Rectors Palace, and Ethnographic Museum). It also includes free public transport tickets and enables you to skip long ticket-buying lines at the included museums and attractions to save time in Dubrovnik. 

Considering the City Walls tickets cost €35, exactly the same as the Daily Dubrovnik Pass , the Dubrovnik Pass is a good value and worth it since it allows you to save money on additional expenses such as bus tickets. However, a Dubrovnik Pass might not be the best deal in everyone's case, especially if this is not your first visit. 

Let's look at whether the Dubrovnik Pass is right for you, which one to purchase, and how to maximize the value of your Pass. 

Types of Dubrovnik Passes?

Dubrovnik Pass  is currently sold in three types:

• Daily Pass (1 Day)
• Three-Day Pass
• Seven-Day Pass

Only adult passes are available (anyone seven years or older), as children under seven get free entrance to most attractions in Dubrovnik. So no price discounts for teens and students.

The two decisions you have to make are 

• Length of the Pass?
• What attractions do you want to visit? 

To decide which Dubrovnik Pass option is a good value for you, choose based on how long you are staying in Dubrovnik and what attractions you want to visit.

The Dubrovnik Pass variants cover almost the same attractions. Only the Seven-Day Pass includes two extra attractions, but they are outside of Dubrovnik.

There are some great special offers and discounts for attractions not covered by the Pass, like the 50% discount on tickets to shows at the Dubrovnik Summer Festival.

Passes are activated after your first usage in an attraction or when you pick up the accompanied bus tickets.

For example:   If you purchase a 3-day Dubrovnik Pass on 11 August and visit the City Walls on 13 August, it will be valid from 13 August through 15 August.

Dubrovnik City Pass Price

We try to update this guide with the latest prices, but check the official website for the most recent changes. Here are the Dubrovnik Pass prices (January 2023).

Price of Dubrovnik Pass increased when Croatia adopted Euro as its main currency on 1/1/2023. The main reason for increased prices was the price hike of Dubrovnik Walls tickets from €33 to €35. Consequently Dubrovnik Pass got a bit costlier as well.

What Is Included in the Dubrovnik Pass?

The Dubrovnik Pass includes free admission to many popular museums and attractions in Dubrovnik and nearby Cavtat, special offers and discounts when purchasing tickets not covered by the free access, and a set of public transportation tickets to travel throughout the city. 

Finally, you can find out more about the Dubrovnik Pass on their official website .

Note: In 2022, the Dubrovnik Tourist board made big changes to the Dubrovnik Pass. Previously it was called the Dubrovnik Card . The name changed to Dubrovnik Pass when it went digital-only product rather than a physical pass card.

What attractions does Dubrovnik Pass cover?

Attractions that are included depend on the type you choose. The Seven Day Dubrovnik Pass holders are granted free admission to 12 museums and attractions in and around Dubrovnik. These include:

Cultural History Museum, Rector's Palace

Friars minor franciscan monastery museum, maritime museum, ethnographic museum, museum of modern art dubrovnik, marin držić house.

• Dubrovnik Natural History Museum
• Dulčić Masle Pulitika Gallery
• Atelier Pulitika Studio

Archaeological Exhibitions

Bukovac house, konavle county museum.

Walking along Dubrovnik's city walls is the best way to start your tour of the Old Town. The finest panoramas are from the wall section above the sea, overlooking the red-tiled roofs and the sea. This attraction is the main reason travelers buy the Dubrovnik Pass.

Construction of the initial parts of the walls began as early as the 8th century, and work continued throughout centuries to the end of the 16th century.

Info: The City Walls run for about two kilometers (1,940 m), and the walk around the walls will take 1.5-2 hours, depending on your walking pace and the size of the crowds. Visitors walk anticlockwise around the walls.

The walls feature five forts. The Minčeta Tower (built semicircular in response to the invention of cannons) is in the northwest, the Revelin Fort at the eastern Ploče Gate , St. John by the harbor entrance, and the  Bokar in the southwest.

Perched on a nearby rock Fort Lovrijenac is considered part of the walls even though it's detached. The entrance fee for the Lovrjenac fortress is included in the Dubrovnik Pass but can be bought separately at 100HRK.

Tips: In summer, the wall can be very crowded; arrive early in the morning if you wish to avoid the chaos.

The main admission points to the Dubrovnik City Walls are at Stradun main street when reached from the western Pile Gate entrance to the Old Town. The second entrance is next to the Dominican monastery at Ploče Gate. The third entrance is at St. John Fort.

The majestic Rector's Palace should be on your list to visit whether you bought Dubrovnik Pass or not. It was the seat of the Dubrovnik Republic government and the rector's residence, the man with the highest administrative function in the country. Read more on what we think about the Cultural History Museum .

The building was first mentioned in sources in 1272 as a fortified castle (castellum) from which the city was governed.

During the centuries, it lost its defensive character and was transformed into a representative palace, called palatium or palazzo maggior, in historical sources.

It had two floors with a porch and towers. It housed the most important state political bodies - the Rector, the Great Council, the Small Council, and the Council of the Pleas (Senate). In addition, it housed numerous offices, a prison, and a weapons store.

Interesting: Each rector held office for only one month and spent all that time in the palace, which he couldn't leave except on official duty. This was to implemented to prevent rectors grabbing too much power.

Today, the Palace houses the cultural and historical department of the Dubrovnik Museums, where portraits of famous Dubrovnik residents (Getaldić, Gundulić, Bošković, among others), keys to the city gates, objects from the old city pharmacy Domus Christi, etc. are exhibited.

Another interesting place Dubrovnik Pass includes is the Friars Minor Franciscan Monastery Museum. An exceptional library, a 14th-century abbey, an old pharmacy, a unique collection of relics, and a museum housing relics and liturgical objects can be found here.

Over 20,000 books are stored in the library, among them 137 incunabula (books printed before the year 1501 in Europe).

Interesting: In terms of continuous service, the Small Friar's Pharmacy is one of the oldest pharmacies in Europe.

Consequently, the pharmacy houses one of the most valuable pharmacology and medicine literature collections, including over 2,000 prescriptions, furniture, and equipment dating back to the 15th century.

Also on display, you can see invaluable manuscripts and chorales, paintings done by unknown masters, and a 14th-century reliquary housing St. Ursula's head.

The wealth and beauty of the church's original appearance are evidenced by the southern portal with a Gothic architrave, where the touching Pietà catches the eye in its beauty. The sculpture of the Virgin holding her son in her lap is a masterful work of stonemasons from Dubrovnik, the brothers Leonard and Peter Petrović, who made it in 1498.

You can show your Dubrovnik Pass to enter the Maritime Museum located on the first and second floors of St. John Fortress. The museum houses objects, paintings, and documents related to the long history of local maritime trade.

For History Buffs: Dubrovnik's maritime tradition has left behind many atlases, maps, navigational instruments, and other valuable marine items that can be seen in the museum. Maritime Museum displays the development of Dubrovnik's trade in the Adriatic, Mediterranean, and beyond during the rise of the Republic.

Over five thousand objects classified into fifteen collections and exhibits offer insights into why Dubrovnik was so successful as a merchant republic and how it became as powerful as Venice and other European maritime powers during its glorious days.

Working Hours: 

Dubrovnik Pass will give you access to the Rupe Ethnographic Museum. It is set up in the former grain cellars of the old granary, which still preserves the vaults (visible but not open to the public).

It has an excellent collection that features photos of local cultural activities and snippets of agriculture and clothing from bygone eras, providing a great overview of Croatian "folk" culture.

Interesting: The granary got its name from the deep holes (rupe in Croatian) carved into the stone used as silos for grain storage. Dubrovnik was the only European city that stored grain in underground silos. It had 15 holes that could hold up to 1,500 tons of grain.

The museum's permanent exhibition consists of six thousand five hundred objects from the Dubrovnik region's ethnographic heritage and traditional culture. On the first floor are agricultural and trade cultures. On the second floor are cultural heritage exhibits: folk costumes, textiles, folklore, lace, and displays showing customs.

Besides two floors of displays, there is a fantastic view of Old Town rooftops from the top of the stairs on the second floor.

If you are a modern art enthusiast, you will love to know that the Pass covers entrance tickets to the Museum of Modern Art in Dubrovnik. It was opened to the public in 1945 and is located in a beautiful palace that was historically a summer residence of a wealthy Dubrovnik shipbuilder.

It is designed to resemble the Gothic and Renaissance examples of Dubrovnik architecture, like the Rector's Palace.

The museum is large and divided into an outdoor and indoor exhibition area. If you are a lover of modern art, this museum could be an extra incentive to buy the Dubrovnik Pass, with which you can get a free visit to its constantly changing exhibitions.

The museum's collection of modern art covers the visual production created from the end of the 19th to the beginning of the 20th century. Artists represented here hold some connection to the Dubrovnik region, especially those whose art value and fame far outgrew their regional relevance.

One of the smaller museums included in the Dubrovnik Pass is The House of Marin Držić. It is a personal museum founded in 1989 and dedicated to the local playwright and poet Marin Držić. Držić is considered one of the most prominent Croatian and Dubrovnik writers of the Renaissance.

What to expect: Držić was born and lived in the 16th century, and unfortunately, no authentic objects of his are preserved and used in the museum. Instead, Marin Držić's house is a theater museum in which the museum fund contains theater props, scenography, costume design, and conceptual art.

The collections represent materials and props from theatrical performances based on Držić's works held in Croatia and abroad. The exhibition includes dolls, costumes, portraits, posters, programs, and photographs. Visitors can hear Držić's biography through an audio guide.

Dubrovnik Natural History Museum 

The Natural History Museum in Dubrovnik was created from the Dubrovnik Native Museum (Museo Patrio), founded in 1872 from the private collection of pharmacist and ship owner Antun Dropac.

It is a very interesting museum with a really innovative design. The museum is very quiet, unlike other places with too many tourists.

Tips: The number of exhibits is fairly small, but the quality, on the other hand, is fantastic. You should be done with it in 30-60 mins (depending on your appreciation of the informational texts accompanying the exhibits).

If you are interested in stuffed animal species such as insects, birds, sharks, turtles, and dolphins, Dubrovnik Pass includes free admission and this is the place for you. Otherwise, you can skip this one.

It contains ten collections: mollusks, minerals, ores, seaweed, fossils, birds, crustaceans, marine animals, fish, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles.

Dulčić Masle Pulitika Gallery 

Dulčić Masle Pulitika Gallery is a small but very interesting gallery included in the DuPass with paintings covering two floors. It was named after the most prominent artists to have appeared in Dubrovnik in modern times.

The trio's permanent collection features on the lower floor, while the upper gallery is given over to temporary exhibitions by contemporary artists.

Interesting: The ground floor of this gallery pays a homage to US Secretary of Commerce Ronald Brown, who was killed by a plane crash near Dubrovnik in 1996.

The Pulitika Studio

Next door to the Maritime Museum in St. John Fort is the Atelier Pulitika Studio, formerly a private studio owned by Đuro Pulitika, one of Croatia's most famous contemporary artists, converted into an exhibition gallery after the artist's death in 2006.

During his lifetime, he would have produced the paintings shown in the front gallery at the rear of his workspace, which is located at the back. The larger front room often hosts exhibitions by local artists.

If walking the streets of Old Town is not enough for your inner architectural history admirer, you can show your DuPass QR code to gain entrance to the Archaeological Museum.

The Archaeological Museum in Dubrovnik has no permanent space or exhibition, so the museum presents the rich archaeological history of the Dubrovnik area and moves around various attractions. Currently, it is temporarily exhibited on the ground floor of Revelin Fortress.

The museum is currently divided into several collections. The first is an early medieval sculpture exhibition from the Archaeological Museum featuring columns, capitals, portals, windows, and traditional carved stone elements. The second is a display of braid ornaments, plait-work (pleter) with floral motifs from the early medieval collection.

A beautiful gallery of Vlaho Bukovac's life and work has been created in the artist's former home (1855-1922). Family portraits and oil paintings from Paris, Zagreb, Prague, and Cavtat adorn the two floors of his home.

The house is surrounded by beautiful gardens decorated with murals Bukovac painted as a youth. Besides the period furniture and items on display, there are also some of the painters' interesting personal items you can browse through.

The Konavle County Museum is located in the center of Čilip in a large stone house built in 1909 for the needs of public affairs of the village savings bank and the cultural center.

Until the Homeland War in 1991, the museum was arranged like a typical Konavle house with furniture, household items, a hearth, and exhibits of men's and women's folk costumes, as well as embroidery and weaving. The largest part of the exhibits was collected with gifts from the resident population of Konavle.

Interesting : During the Homeland War, the museum building was burned to the ground, and part of the inventory was irretrievably lost. The museum was renovated in 2007.

Rescued museum objects are today represented in a high-quality permanent exhibition of folk costumes and textile handicrafts of Konavle. Exhibits of the Cavtat Embroidery Association complement them.

The ethnographic collection of the museum numbers close to 700 objects - the preserved pre-war fund and objects purchased and donated to the Museum in the post-war period.

Women's and men's folk costumes, embroideries and other textile handicrafts, jewelry, weapons, musical instruments, artistic paintings, photographs, and various useful items are on display.

Culture and Heritage Pass Discounts

Note that several popular attractions in Dubrovnik are NOT currently included with the Dubrovnik Pass that you should consider, like Cable Car, Lokrum Island, Love Stories Museum, Red History Museum, War Photo Limited, and Homeland War Museum.

There are also many excellent free important buildings and attractions, such as the Sponza palace, the Cathedral, Saint Blaise Chruch, and Dominican Monastery, that travelers should not forget.

What Transportation Options are Included with the Dubrovnik Pass?

All Dubrovnik Pass variants come with the included use of public transport in Dubrovnik. This means exclusively using Libertas busses that cover the whole of the city since Dubrovnik has no trams or trains. Also, no boats are included (if you were wondering if you can use the Pass to go to the nearby Lokrum Island).

Tips: To get your ticket, you must simply show your Dubrovnik Pass to the bus ticket seller at the Libertas Dubrovnik public transport company sale points at Pile, Lapad, Mokošica, and Grawe.

Alternatively, you can show your Pass QR code to a bus driver, who will scan and print out a physical bus day ticket, or they will wave you through.

One Day Dubrovnik Passes offer 24-hour access to public transportation (the bus card is valid from the moment of initial activation of the bus, and cardholders can use it for the next 24 hours).

The Dubrovnik Pass will be activated when you pick up a bus ticket for public city transport from the point of sale, but the bus ticket will start the 24-hour use the first time you use it on the bus.

With the Three-Day Dubrovnik Pass, you can take unlimited rides on local public transit around the City of Dubrovnik for 72 hours (the bus card becomes valid when activated on a bus but has no time limit).

Similarly, with the Seven-Day Dubrovnik Pass, you can travel on public transportation unlimited time for 168 hours through the city of Dubrovnik.

Other Dubrovnik Pass Inclusions?

The Dubrovnik Pass also lets visitors take advantage of special offers and discounts while visiting culture and heritage attractions not included in the free admission. Discounts available are dependent on what type of Pass you buy. The 7-day Dubrovnik Pass has the largest discounts.

Included: Besides discounts on cultural attractions, Dubrovnik Pass holders can get discounts at local businesses such as restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, theater tickets, massages, walking tours, boat cruises, jewelry, and souvenir shops.

How do I decide if the Dubrovnik Pass will save me money?

Now that you know what the Dubrovnik Pass is, what it includes, and how much it costs, the next step is to decide whether it is a good value for the available time. Here are steps that will help you determine if it's worth it.

• What attractions do you want to visit?
• How many days do you need to see all the included attractions?
• How does your total cost compare to the cost of the Dubrovnik Pass?

Step 1: Decide what attractions you want to visit.

Start with listing all the attractions you want to visit during your time in Dubrovnik. Try to devise a realistic list based on the amount of time you'll be staying in Dubrovnik, as you don't want to spend your entire trip going from attraction to attraction.

Next, check the entrance fee for each online or a recent guidebook. Finally, add up the costs to come up with a total and compare it with the most appropriate Dubrovnik Pass pricing.

Example A: Let's say I wanted a short stay in Dubrovnik to just see the main attractions in Dubrovnik's Old Town, like City Walls (€35), Rector's Palace (€20), Archaeological Exhibitions, Ethnographic Museum, Sponza Palace, Franciscan Monastery(€6) but also want to visit and relax on Lokrum Island (€26). 

Tips: If you aren't purchasing the Dubrovnik Pass you should buy the Dubrovnik Museums tickets to visit the main museums. They include a single entry to each of the following museums: Cultural History Museum in the Rector's Palace, Maritime Museum in Fort St John, Ethnographic Museum in the Rupe/Holes granary, Archaeological exhibitions, House of Marin Drzic, Dubrovnik Natural History Museum, The Museum of Modern Art Dubrovnik, Gallery Dulčić Masle Pulitika, Studio Pulitika. Adults tickets are €20; children's and students' tickets are €8.

I also want to use the public busses (€2 per ticket) to reach Old Town from my accommodation on each one of my days of sightseeing. 

Therefore, the total normal adult entry fees for all these attractions and bus tickets would be €99. 

Example B: Let's say I have decided to stay longer in Croatia and will have Dubrovnik as my base to visit the region with my rental car.

Among the attractions I wanted to visit covered by the Dubrovnik Pass are the City Walls (€35), Rector's Palace (€20), Archaeological Exhibitions, Maritime Museum, and Red History Museum(€9), Franciscan Monastery(€6). 

On one of the days, I also wanted Cavtat and its attractions: Račić Family Mausoleum, Vlaho Bukovac House(€5), Sokol Fortress in Konavle(€10), and Konavle County Museum(€5).

On another day, I decided to visit Ston walls(€10) and Rector's Palace Slano(€5).

A boat trip to Mljet Island National Park(€20) is also on my itinerary, along with a ballet show at the Dubrovnik Summer Festival (€26 for a seat).

In addition, I want to take the bus (€2 per ticket) on every trip to the Old Town. These attractions would cost a total of €175 for normal adult admission.

Step 2: How many days do you need to visit all the included attractions?

Your next step should be to figure out how many days you want to see all the attractions on your list. Remember not to be too eager, thinking you'll manage to do the City Walls tour, visit three museums, do an island trip, an aquarium, and a guided walking tour in one day. Instead, also leave yourself plenty of time to just relax on the beach.

Example A: Looking back at the attractions from Example A, we might think that we can probably squeeze all of these attractions in one day since it's pretty much all situated in the Old Town or next to it. I would still recommend two days to have a bit of leeway and enjoy yourself and Dubrovnik, especially if you are also touring different souvenir shops, local authentic jewelry shops, or tasty ice cream vendors.

This means I would need two days, so a 3-Day Dubrovnik Pass would likely be the best choice.

Example B: The Old Town is one of the first places I want to explore on my first day in the city using the bus even though I have a rental car (parking near Old Town is expensive) and visit the City Walls plus do the guided tour of the city to get myself familiar with the history, and then do some shopping. Here are some recommendations for tours that go on the walls.

I would set out a second day to visit some of the sites in the Old Town included on the Dubrovnik pass (Rector's Palace, Archaeological Exhibitions, Maritime Museum, Franciscan Monastery). Then, on my way back to the accommodation from the Old Town, I would take a tour of the interesting Red History Museum.

Day 3, I want to visit the charming town of Cavtat and its attractions: Račić Family Mausoleum, Vlaho Bukovac House, Sokol Fortress in Konavle, and Konavle County Museum.

On Day 4, Since I rented a car, I would want to take a short drive from Dubrovnik to the medieval town of Ston and visit its famous Ston walls, delicious wines, and oyster farms. I wanted to stop by the Rector's Palace Slano on the way there.

The next day, I also want to take a boat trip and visit the gorgeous Mljet Island National Park everyone recommended during my stay.

On Day 6, let's say I spent my whole day at the beach, and that night I wanted to have a cultural experience and enjoy a Dubrovnik Summer festival drama play on Lovrjenac Fort.

So I wanted to do six days in Dubrovnik; purchasing a 7-Day Dubrovnik Pass would be the best option.

Step 3: Compare your total cost with the Dubrovnik Pass cost. 

Compare the total attraction costs to the cost of a Dubrovnik Pass. You should be able to determine your cost savings from this.

Example A: All right, it would cost me €99 to visit all the places on my Dubrovnik itinerary. I think I need two days and the cost of the 3-day Dubrovnik Pass is €45. 

However, if I buy a 3-Day Dubrovnik Pass(€45), with included discounts to Lokrum(-20%), and 72-hour buss pass, the grand total would be €66. That is a healthy 33% savings !

So 3-Day Dubrovnik Pass would be worth it to buy in this case.

Example B: It would cost €175 for an adult to visit all the places in Example B without using the Dubrovnik Pass. I think I need six days to see all the attractions I have put on this Dubrovnik itinerary.

The cost of the 7-Day Dubrovnik Pass is €55. With added discounts you can use Dubrovnik Pass for, total cost would be €110. So the cost savings with a Dubrovnik Pass would be €65 for one adult. That is a whopping 37% savings !

Consequently, I would save considerable money and would not have to wait in line at attraction ticket booths. In this case, the 7-Day Dubrovnik Pass is a very good value and well worth the money. 

Last but not least, choose what you need to purchase.

Based on the information you calculated, you can determine whether purchasing separate attraction tickets or the Dubrovnik Pass would make more sense.

In Example A and Example B , I would want to purchase the Dubrovnik Pass as it represents significant cost savings. 

Saving Money: Even if you are in Dubrovnik for just a few hours and plan to visit the City Walls, buying a Daily Dubrovnik Pass is smart since the price is the same, and you get free entrance to museums and a 24-hour bus ticket.

Basically, buying a Dubrovnik Pass is worth it in any scenario where you plan on visiting the Walls. And the price difference between the Pass types is only €10. This is without even accounting for other potential savings with other local businesses you can make while visiting the city.

For example, you can save more money if you visit restaurants that give discounts to Pass holders and go on discounted guided walking tours or island boat tours.

Can you buy the Dubrovnik Pass online?

Unlike its predecessor Dubrovnik Card, which you had to buy physically in hotels and agencies, the Dubrovnik Pass can be purchased online .

Tips: When you buy a Dubrovnik Pass, you receive a unique QR code that you can keep on your smartphone. You can install the Dubrovnik Pass app on your phone to make your visit to Dubrovnik attractions more convenient. If you prefer a physical copy, you can also print it and use that to pick up tickets or enter institutions.

Dubrovnik Passes are activated after the first visit to a cultural institution or after purchasing a bus ticket for public transportation within the city. Every cultural institution included in the Pass allows you a one-time visit, so, for example, you can only visit the City Walls once. You cannot return the next day with the same Pass.

Tips on how to get the most out of your Dubrovnik Pass

It's best to plan your itinerary before coming to Dubrovnik. Make sure you know which attractions are included with the Pass and which ones you plan to visit before deciding if the Pass is for you.

Tip: To maximize your Dubrovnik Pass experience, start using it early on your first day!

It's important to remember that once you first use the Pass at the attraction or pick up the bus tickets, the time countdown begins, and it is only for good for the next 24 hours, 3 or 7 consecutive days. 

If you're staying longer in Dubrovnik, you'll get the most out of the Dubrovnik Pass because the longer the time you have, the greater the value you'll get. In a family of three, even if each member saved only €10, €30 could be saved, so the savings multiply with the number in your group.

Tip: Prioritize attractions you want to see with high ticket costs like the City Walls to get most value for money if your Pass does not cover the full duration of your stay in Dubrovnik.

When coming up with your itinerary for your Dubrovnik vacation, consider attractions not covered by the Dubrovnik Pass, such as taking the Dubrovnik Cable Car , Lokrum Island, etc.

Installing the Dubrovnik Pass app on your smartphone is a good idea. You can also find information about discounts and useful things that can help you on your trip, along with all the information about the attractions covered in the app.

Tip: Not all attractions are open 7 days a week. Some have various off days. Check if they are available before you go.

Set aside enough time to visit the cities attractions you are most curious about. Since you can see each attraction only once, ensure adequate time before entering. 

The Pass may not be the best value for children. Some spots frequently get reduced ticket prices anyway, while other places give free entry to children. So if you are traveling with kids, check out the prices before purchasing a pass. For example, Dubrovnik City walls have a 100HRK ticket for children under 18 years, which is great if you are planning to visit just the walls and avoid buying a €35 Daily Pass.

Try to avoid forcing yourself to see everything in one day. It is not uncommon for people to use their Daily Dubrovnik Passes, go down the list of attractions, visiting as many as they can in a day. As frequent travelers, we also desire to see everything when visiting a new destination but have learned to pace ourselves to not be energy drained the second day.

My experience using Dubrovnik Pass

As a matter of fact, I have visited Dubrovnik many times. Then I would have used the Dubrovnik Card to see the Walls and other museums I like to check every time I am in the city.

Dubrovnik Card was replaced by Dubrovnik Pass in 2022 as a mobile app product. Except for the pickup experience, the Pass generally works the same way. I got on the Dubrovnik Pass website, picked the Daily Pass, made an account, and filled in my card payment info; voila, I had my Pass and instructions.

After you purchase it on the website, the pass is immediately available for printing and download as a pdf file.

During my 1-day Dubrovnik Pass period, I visited five attractions covered by the Pass! Even though I usually cram on my trips as much as possible, I was a bit pressed for time. So I got up early to grab my bus card at Lapad Libertas Point of Sale. Then, I used my bus card to get to Old Town, where I stayed until evening, visiting attractions, having lunch, and shopping.

There were some attractions I spent a lot of time visiting (such as the Rector's Palace and Museum of Modern Art), but others I visited were much shorter visits, either because I'd seen them several times already (City Walls and Franciscan Monastery), or they were smaller sites that only took about 30 minutes to explore (for example, the House of Marin Držić). I also used the time to mix attractions not included in the Pass, such as the Cable Car.

Obviously, my review reflects my experience at the time I used the Dubrovnik Pass. The Pass allowed me to visit less crowded attractions such as the Natural History Museum, which I may not have considered seeing if I had to pay for a separate ticket.

As far as cost savings, by using the Dubrovnik Daily Pass, I have paid €35 for the Pass instead of €66, which would cost me if I paid every ticket separately.

Dubrovnik Pass

The Dubrovnik City Pass provides free admission to top attractions in Dubrovnik like the City Walls, Rectors Palace and Ethnographic Museum. It also includes free public transport tickets and enables you to skip long lines at Dubrovnik's museums and attractions.

Product Brand: Dubrovnik Pass

Product Currency: EUR

Product Price: 35

Product In-Stock: InStock

• Great value for money
• Time saving
• Free bus tickets
• Large discounts
• Not all attractions included
• Attractions are not always open
• Some attractions are outside of Dubrovnik
• Limited places to pick up bus tickets

I highly suggest that all travelers to Dubrovnik consider buying the Dubrovnik Pass. It will be a good value for money even for the average first-time visitor who plans to spend no more than a day sightseeing.

However, the Dubrovnik Pass is not a good fit for all visitors, and travelers on a budget can easily spend a day or two visiting Old Town and the rest of Dubrovnik and spend little to no money on sightseeing. 

I like that the Dubrovnik Pass also includes discounts with local businesses like guided walking tours, cruises, restaurants, and car rentals.

These great experiences allow the option to see things other than museums, art galleries, palaces, and churches. So check it out and see if the Dubrovnik Pass is a good fit for your Dubrovnik visit.

GOT QUESTIONS?

Is cable car included in the dubrovnik pass.

No, Dubrovnik Pass does NOT include tickets to the Dubrovnik Cable Car. If you want to use the Cable Car to visit Mount Srđ, we recommend booking your ticket online in advance as this is a very busy and popular attraction.

Is it possible to visit the same attraction more than once with the Dubrovnik Pass?

The Dubrovnik Pass website states that you have a one-time visit to each cultural institution, meaning you can only visit each attraction once.

Does Dubrovnik Pass cover the trip to Lokrum Island?

The ticket for the boat trip that regularly goes from the Old Port to the Lokrum Island Nature Reservation is NOT included in the Dubrovnik Pass. The cost of the ticket is €26.

Can I get the DuPass bus tickets on the bus?

From my latest experience, you can. I showed my Dubrovnik Pass QR code to a bus driver, who scanned it, saw it was active, and printed out a physical bus ticket that was valid for 24 hours; on another occasion, they just waved us through to the back of the bus.

Are bus tickets to Cavtat included?

Although the 7-Day Dubrovnik Pass includes free admission to attractions in Cavtat and Konavle, it does NOT include tickets to Cavtat.

Places to visit

Ancient relics and splendid palaces

Spend a few days on the Istria peninsula, and make a visit to Pula , at its tip. Wander around this vibrant riviera town, taking in the sixth largest surviving Roman amphitheatre that graces its centre. The ancient Diocletian’s Palace in Split is also a must-see. Step inside the palace walls and come across Roman relics buried among cobblestone alleyways. As the sun sets the palace area becomes a really romantic spot.

Enviable island hideaways

Hvar island will instantly have you hooked thanks to its Venetian charm and rolling hills. A short ferry ride off the coast from Split brings you to one of Croatia’s most adored islands, cloaked in lavendar fields, olive trees and vineyards. Discover Romanesque and Renaissance architecture and along the way stop off at a terrace to enjoy a glass of locally-produced wine from Vrboska or Jelsa .

Party like there’s no tomorrow

Some of Croatia’s best nightlife can be found in the northern peninsular of Zadar . The most buzzing area is in the historical centre, which is littered with outdoor cafes and lively bars. The Garden is a hip lounge bar atop of the city walls offering an eclectic mix of jazz, electronic and latin beats. In Zagreb, hit Purgeraj – a popular venue with a mix of rock, jazz and blues tunes. During the summer months the fun spills out onto a large outdoor terrace.

Play in the crystal clear Adriatic

The Dalmatian coast is a water sport wonderland, with plenty of opportunities to windsurf, kitesurf, wakeboard or take a motorboat for a spin around the Adriatic. There are also a number of cycle and hiking trails around both Braĉ and Vis . Croatia’s Adriatic is a popular location among scuba-diving enthusiasts and has great wrecks, coral reefs and caves to explore. Just off Premuda island , at the top of the Dalmation archipelago is the famous wreck dive, Szent Istvan – an 153m long Austro-Hungarian battleship that sunk in 1918.

Zagreb - Croatia’s cosmopolitan capital

With a mix of Eastern and Western Europe, Croatia’s capital is a lively metropolis with a vibrant cafe culture. Hit Gornji Grad (the upper town) with its cobbled streets and medieval architecture and find the city’s top attractions, as well as a pool of bars and restaurants teeming with young and old alike. The main cemetery, Mirogoj , is one of Zagreb’s most fascinating sights and perhaps one of the most beautiful resting places in the world.

Travelling Europe by train is one of the most scenic ways to explore the countries and their countryside. Luckily, there are multiple options available to make train travel as easy and accessible as possible. There are different train passes that offer various benefits and make the trip more simple. One of the most popular passes to discover Europe by train is the Interrail pass and its equivalent Eurail pass . 

The following guide will provide you with all the necessary information about Interrail and Eurail passes and how to use them when travelling in Croatia by train.

What is Interrail Pass?

Interrail pass is an all-in-one rail pass for European citizens that allows unlimited train travel in and between 33 European countries for a certain period of time. It is a train ticket that gives you access to almost all trains in Europe, as well as several ferries.  

With Interrail pass, you can combine an endless amount of journeys within the participating countries and set out on a journey with all the trains reserved in advance. 

Who can use Interrail pass?

Interrail pass is divided into age categories , so you can apply for a Child Pass (up to 12 years), Youth Pass (up to 28 years), Adult Pass , and a Senior Pass (above 60 years). 

Passports, IDs, and government-issued residency documents can be used as proof of citizenship. 

Types of Interrail Pass

Depending on where you want to travel to, there are several Interrail Pass types for different travelling needs. 

Interrail One Country Pass allows you to travel within a single country. You can choose between 30 countries to explore for the period of three, four, five, six, or eight travel days within one month. This means you are allowed to travel by train as much as you want within the borders of a country and the given timeframe. 

Interrail Global Pass allows you to travel by train to two or more countries where the Interrail Pass applies, with several ferry crossings included. This means you can combine multiple train journeys within participating countries, within the given timeframe. You can choose between several validity types:

• 4, 5 or 7 days within a month
• 10 or 15 days within two months
• 15 or 20 continuous days

However, if you would like to have more than a train reservation in advance, there are different Interrail Pass packages for travellers that can help you get the ultimate carefree travel experience. These are pre-designed travel itineraries that include all train seat reservations, accommodation, discounts for sightseeing, and much more. 

What is Eurail Pass?

Eurail is an all-in-one pass similar to Interrail pass , but it applies to non-European citizens who want to explore Europe by train. The pass allows unlimited train travel within 33 European countries for a certain period of time. This type of train ticket also gives you access to almost all trains in Europe, as well as several ferries. 

With Eurail pass, you can combine an endless amount of journeys within the participating countries and set out on a journey with all the trains reserved in advance.

Who can use Eurail pass?

Unlike Interrail which applies to European residents, the Eurail pass is a sort of its equivalent for non-European citizens, i.e. for passengers who are not residents of the countries listed above in “Who can use Interrail pass?” section. 

Eurail pass is divided into four age categories , you can apply for a Child Pass (up to 12 years), Youth Pass (up to 28 years), Adult Pass , and a Senior Pass (above 60 years).

Countries in which the pass doesn’t apply are Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany, Montenegro, and Switzerland. 

Eurail Global Pass allows you to travel by train to two or more countries where the Eurail Pass applies, with several ferry crossings included. You can combine multiple train journeys within participating countries, within the given timeframe. The passes are available for different periods of time:

It is also possible to buy a pass at some train stations in Europe, but this service will cost you more. 

Planning a trip with Interrail & Eurail Passes

So, how do you plan your journey with Interrail or Eurail pass? Here are a few initial steps to make your Interrail/Eurail planning easier:

Step 1 – Choose the destination

The first and most important step is to pick the destination . Think of the entire journey and all the places you would like to visit. Pick the timeframe for your journey. If you’re not going to choose one of the pre-designed packages, make sure you book your accommodation in advance. 

Step 2 – Choose the Pass

Pick the best type of pass for you. This will depend on the previous step, as well as your citizenship and age. 

Step 3 – Make a reservation

The next step is to make train reservations . Most trains covered by Interrail and Eurail pass won’t require a seat reservation, so you can avoid an extra fee. However, seat reservations are not included in the Interrail/Eurail pass , you need to book them separately. The average prices range from €10 to €20. The seat reservation price within Croatia is usually about €4. 

You can make reservations online, via the app, or at the train station. You can book reservations from 3 months to 1 hour in advance (if booking online), but it is always good to book earlier so as not to run out of seats. 

Step 4 – Use the App for help

Once you embark on your journey, the Rail Planner App can be a helpful tool. You can plan the entire journey, access timetables offline, book reservations, and look for additional discounts. Moreover, you can access city guides, suggested routes, and other helpful content. 

Interrail & Eurail prices

Prices of Interrail and Eurail vary depending on the type of pass you buy. It also varies whether you buy an Adult Pass, Youth Pass, or Senior Pass. In all cases, Child Pass is free, two children per adult can travel for free . 

Generally, One Country passes differ from country to country. We will present prices of adult and youth One Country Pass for Croatia. Also, we will present prices for an Adult and Youth Interrail and Eurail Global Pass valid for 2021.

Please note that prices could change in the meantime, we will update them accordingly, but you can also check the official website for more information.

Croatia Travel Guide

Last Updated: April 29, 2024

Croatia is one of the most popular destinations in Europe . It’s the go-to spot for stunning beaches, rugged islands, historic architecture, and all the sailing you could ask for.

I think the country is vastly underappreciated.

The tourism focus in the country is usually Hvar, Split, Dubrovnik, Istria, or the famed Plitvice Lakes. Too much of the rest of the country is largely ignored. I saw so few tourists in Karlovac, Rastoke, or Slunj. Zagreb didn’t have a lot either, despite it being the capital city. Slavonia? Barely a soul goes there.

Once you get off the main stretch of the coast, it feels like you have the country to yourself. Croatia is a country with over a thousand islands, a long coastline dotted with sun-bleached medieval towns, a cosmopolitan capital city, an underappreciated wine region, and an untrammeled inland landscape that sees a fraction of the tourists that the Dalmatian Coast brings in.

Spend longer than you plan and get off the beaten path to really see the magic of the country.

This travel guide to Croatia can give you the tips and tricks you need so you can plan the ultimate adventure there.

Top 5 things to see and do in croatia.

1. Visit Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is a stunning city best known for its historic Old Town (which was a Game of Thrones filming location). Wander around its limestone streets, admire the baroque buildings, and take in the views of the Adriatic Sea. Don’t miss St. Blaise Church and Sponza Palace either. The city also makes for a great base for day trips, including jaunts into nearby Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro . There are lots of wineries nearby too.

2. See Split

Split has some of the best beaches in the country. It’s also home to Roman Emperor Diocletian’s 4th-century palace. Split also has a lively nightlife, several nearby hikes, historic ruins, cobblestone streets, and incredible seafood. It’s a more upscale (and party-focused) Dubrovnik. Be sure to spend a day in nearby Trogir, the most beautiful town you’ve probably never heard of.

3. Admire Plitvice Lakes National Park

Tucked between Zagreb and the Dalmatian Coast, Plitvice Lakes National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s composed of 16 interconnected lakes and over 90 waterfalls. It’s beautiful but super popular so arrive early (it gets packed in the summer). Admission is 80-300 HRK depending on the month (prices rise in the summer).

4. Visit Rijeka

Rijeka is home to the medieval 13-century Trsat Castle as well as City Tower, a medieval defensive tower. There’s also some amazing diving nearby with lots of underwater cliffs to explore. Don’t miss the nearby historic town of Kastav. It’s an Insta-worthy walled town surrounded by parks.

5. Explore Lokrum

The island of Lokrum is a nature reserve just off the coast of Dubrovnik. It makes a nice day trip (you’re not allowed to sleep here overnight). There are no cars here and, in addition to the beach, there is a former Benedictine monastery to explore. Ferries cost 150 HRK and include admission to the island.

Other Things to See and Do in Croatia

1. visit pula.

Pula is a seaside city and home to an impressive 1st-century Roman amphitheater that overlooks the harbor that is used to hold concerts, film festivals, and even a summer festival dedicated to all things Roman. The festival, Spectacular Antiqva, is held at least once per week during the summer. Admission is 80 HRK. While you’re in Pula, be sure to visit the Archeology Museum and spend some time exploring Brijuni National Park (which is made up of a group of scenic islands). There’s also a 14th-century monastery here you can visit as well.

2. Go Island Hopping

With over 1,000 islands, it would be silly to travel to Croatia and not go island hopping. Plan to stay at least a couple of days on one of the islands to step back in time and get the full Croatian experience. The most popular islands to visit are Brac, Hvar, Krk, Cres, and Lošinj. However, don’t be afraid to get off the beaten path and explore some of the lesser-known islands such as Silba, Vis, and Lastovo. Some of the islands have ferries that start at 30 HRK each way. There are many ferry companies operating in Croatia leaving from the main ports of Pula, Porec, Rovinj, Split, Dubrovnik, Zadar, Mali Losinj, Umag, and Novalja.

3. See St. James’ Cathedral

Located in Sibenik (which is on the coast between Zadar and Split), St. James is believed to be the world’s largest church built entirely of stone (there are no wooden or brick supports). It’s an architectural masterpiece that was started in 1431 and wasn’t completed until 1536. It’s massive and spacious with a rather dark and grim stone interior that feels very medieval. Some of the cathedral’s highlights are its frieze of 71 heads on the exterior walls, the tomb of Bishop Sizigori, and a 15th-century Gothic crucifix. Admission is 15 HRK.

4. Visit Krka Monastery

This Serbian Orthodox monastery is dedicated to the Archangel Michael and is one of the most important religious sites in Croatia. Founded in 1345, it’s located beside a small and peaceful lake forty-five minutes from Sibenik. Built in the Romanesque style, it boasts a unique mix of Byzantine and Mediterranean architecture. Underneath the building is a natural cave system (known locally as the ‘secret church’) where they have found Christian symbols dating back to the 1st century. The library also has books dating back to the 16th century. Admission is free.

5. Go diving

Thanks to Croatia’s seafaring history, the whole of the coastline is littered with shipwrecks. Two of the most popular are Baron Gautsch (off the coast of Rovinj), and Taranto (off the coast of Dubrovnik). Expect to pay 289 HRK for a single-tank dive in the area but the shipwrecks start at around 400 HRK. Open water certification costs around 3,100 HRK. The best diving conditions are between May and November (September and October will be warm and less busy).

6. Visit the Museum of Broken Relationships

Located in Zagreb, this museum is full of mementos from failed relationships between family members, friends, and lovers. Items on display include clothing, jewelry, handwritten letters, photos, and more quirky items like belly button lint and old chocolate bars. Each item has a story attached to it, some funny, some gut-wrenching. The museum offers an honest, unpretentious look at humanity through its failed relationships. Admission is 40 HRK.

7. Explore the Vucedol Culture Museum

This riverside location is home to an archeological dig site where remains from over 8,000 years ago were found. The museum, built on top of the site, is a state-of-the-art representation of the original settlement complete with replica houses. It showcases the culture that was here, which was one of the first in Europe to create calendars and brew beer. It’s super informative. Guided tours cost 150 HRK and are available in English. Admission is 40 HRK.

8. Go hiking

From coastal walks to mountain climbing to hiking the inland canyons, hills, and forests, Croatia has a lot to offer. The most popular coastal hiking spot is Mljet National Park, on the island of Mljet. Inland, the most popular hiking spot is Medvednica Mountain near Zagreb or in Risnjak National Park. Other spots worth visiting are Brijuni National Park (which is home to 14 different islands), Krka National Park (which has beautiful waterfalls), and Paklenica (which has some rugged canyon trails).

9. Visit the Blue Cave of Bisevo

The Blue Cave (or Blue Grotto) is a natural sea cave accessible only by boat via a narrow passageway. Inside, the water almost glows and has a bright otherworldly color to it. Access to the cave is restricted to one boat at a time. The cave itself is located at Balun Cove on the eastern side of Komiza. The best time to visit is between 11am-12pm as this is when the light is at its most beautiful. Prices in the off-season are 75 HRK and while it’s 100 HRK in the high season. Expect to pay around 800-900 HRK for a full-day tour (and expect crowds).

10. Listen to the Sea Organ

The Sea Organ is tucked away beneath a set of steps that lead down to the water in the seaside town of Zadar. The organ consists of 35 tubes played by the wind and the sea. Designed by architect Nikola Basic, the music sounds similar to whale calls. Come here at sunset to soak in the picturesque views and listen to the captivating sounds of the sea.

11. Go sailing

Croatia is one of the world’s best sailing destinations. With calm winds, short distances, and a coastline dotted by islands and historical sites, it really does make for a great place to explore by sea. During the high season, prices rise dramatically, but if you time your visit right and visit during the shoulder season you can find some great deals. If you don’t want to join a tour you can charter a boat. Charters can get pricey though, as a 7-day trip starts at 13,000-15,000 HRK. If you’re in the mood for partying, Busabout has hop-on-hop-off boat tours. I did one a few years ago ( you can read about it here ). For a 7- or 8-day trip, expect to pay 8,700 HRK.

12. Tour Zagreb

Zagreb has a charming Old Town reminiscent of cities like Prague and Budapest. There is lots of green space, a couple of nearby lakes, and tons of historic architecture. Be sure to visit the massive Neo-Gothic cathedral and the medieval Old Town Gate where you can find an 18th-century painting of the Virgin Mary thought to be miraculous as it survived the city’s Great Fire of 1731. There are also tons of museums (don’t miss the Mimara Museum) as well as the Medvedgrad fortress that overlooks the city. To see the highlights on a budget, take a free walking tour with Free Tour Zagreb . Their tours last two hours and cover all the main sites so you can learn more about this underrated city.

13. Experience The Yacht Week

If you want to splash out and spend a week partying on a yacht, check out The Yacht Week . They host week-long parties and festivals with DJs and events throughout the summer. You can book a full boat to share with friends or just a cabin on one if you’re traveling solo. They have destinations all around the world, including routes in Croatia. “Yacht Weeks” occur from May-August. Prices start at 4,350 HRK per person. It’s one of the biggest things of the summer and it’s a wild, wild, WILD party.

14. Visit Hvar

Hvar is a picturesque island off the coast of Split that’s known for its lively nightlife. It’s popular with younger travelers looking to dance and drink the night away. However, there are also lots of scenic coves, lavender fields, vineyards, and secluded beaches you can enjoy if you visit during the day. While a lot of people come here as part of their sailing trips (or as a day trip from Split), I recommend spending a couple of nights here. It’s one of the best places in the country. It’s also the sunniest, with over 274 days of sunshine each year.

15. Explore Slavonia

Few tourists make it to Slavonia, a rural region in eastern Croatia famous for its wine production. Head to the wine-country town of Zmajevac (pronounced “zma-ye-vatz”), which is just a few miles from the border with Hungary and Serbia. Be sure to sample the local wines and try fish paprikash, a paprika-laden fish stew slow-cooked over an open flame for hours that’s a specialty of the region. Additionally, don’t miss Osijek, the main town of Slavonia. It has a large historic center filled with Gothic buildings and cobblestone streets.

16. Eat oysters in Mali Ston

If you love oysters like I do, head an hour’s drive up the coast from Dubrovnik to Mali Ston. Founded in the 14th century, the region was originally home to a defensive fortification. Today, it’s famous for the oysters that are farmed in Mali Ston Bay. Visit nearby farms to learn about the oyster industry and try some samples. Expect to pay at least 225 HRK per person for a guided oyster tour (with samples).

17. Relax in karlovac

Home to around 55,000 people, Karlovac is an off-the-radar city just one hour from Zagreb. It was originally built by the Austrians in the 16th century, though not much remains from that period. The city’s “castle” is really just a small fort that’s been rebuilt — but it’s worth a quick look as you meander around town. The main draw here is the brewery, Karlovacko. It makes one of the most popular beers in Croatia. Spend a night here and take in the local pace of life. There’s also some hiking and nearby waterfalls if you want to get out and stretch your legs.

18. Road trip around Istria

Istria is a peninsula home to delicious wines and sumptuous white truffles. It’s a foodie paradise that sees few tourists, perfect for road-tripping travelers. Rovinj is the best-preserved and most popular city on the peninsula. It has a stunning Old Town, plentiful beaches, and numerous ruins. Visit the Heritage Museum to learn about the region’s history and then enjoy the exquisite beaches (Monte, Lone Bay, and Amarin) that are perfect for swimming and lounging. Pula, mentioned above, can also be found here.

19. Go truffle hunting

Istria is a major truffle producer and you can go on a truffle tour while you’re here. Prodan Tartufi, a family-run truffle-hunting business near the medieval hill town of Buzet, runs a popular (but pricey) excursion. Tarandek Truffle Hunting organizes more affordable, small-group truffle experiences for around 375 HRK per person (they get less expensive the more people are in the group).

Croatia Travel Costs

Accommodation – Hostels start at 70 HKR per night for a 6-8-bed dorm. For a private room, prices start at 190-450 HKR. Free Wi-Fi is standard and most hostels have self-catering facilities. Only a few hostels include free breakfast.

Budget two-star hotels start around 300 HRK per night. Most include breakfast and have standard amenities like TV, AC, and a coffee/tea maker. In the more popular destinations, expect them to start around 400 HRK per night.

Airbnb is available around the country with private rooms starting at 250-350 HRK per night. For an entire home or apartment, expect to pay at least 375 HRK per night though prices can double (or triple) in the summer.

For anyone traveling with a tent, there are lots of campsites in Croatia (most of which are scattered down the coast). For a complete list of campsites in Croatia check out Camping Hr . Prices vary depending on how close to the sea you are as well as what season it is. During peak season, expect to pay 220-450 HRK for a two-person plot with electricity and water. During the low season, prices drop to 140 HRK.

If you’re coming during the summer or are sticking to the Dalmatian coast, expect prices to be about 30% higher.

Food – Croatian cuisine has influences from Central Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Balkans. Seafood is a prominent staple along the coast. Sausage and schnitzel can be found at most traditional restaurants as well, as can a variety of pasta dishes and stews, especially goulash. In Istria, you’ll find a heavy Italian influence.

Food is relatively inexpensive except on the Dalmatian coast. Everything there costs double. For example, take-out sandwiches from the bakery chain Milner in Dubrovnik cost 30-35 HRK while they are just 15 HRK once you leave the Dalmatian Coast. Same sandwich, same place, vastly different price.

An inexpensive meal of traditional cuisine or a burger costs around 70 HRK (75-110 HRK in Dubrovnik). Fast food (think McDonald’s) is closer to 45 HRK while Thai or Chinese food costs around 85 HRK. Pizza is available pretty much everywhere with a medium pizza costing around 47 HRK.

If you want to splash out, a higher-end lunch (like a fresh fish fillet) with wine costs around 125-150 HRK. And if you really want to splurge, you can get a delicious sushi dinner with drinks and appetizers for 500-600 HRK.

Expect to pay 20 HRK for a beer and 13 HRK for a latte/cappuccino. Bottled water is 10 HRK while wine is 20-40 HRK per glass.

If you are planning to cook your own food, a week’s worth of groceries costs around 210-300 HRK for staples like milk, cheese, rice, seasonal vegetables, and some chicken.

Some of my favorite places to eat were Pupitres Wine & Coffe Bar, Heritage, Curry Bowl, and La Štruk in Zagreb; Cevabdžinica Behar in Karlovac; Tunaholic Fish Bar in Rovinj; and Oyster & Sushi Bar Bota in Dubrovnik.

Backpacking Croatia Suggested Budgets

If you are backpacking Croatia, my suggested budget is 275 HRK per day. This assumes you’re staying in a hostel dorm, cooking all of your meals, limiting your drinking, doing free activities like hiking and free walking tours, and using local transportation to get around. You’ll need to budget more if you’re visiting in the summer or if you plan on drinking.

On a mid-range budget of 800 HRK per day, you can stay in a private Airbnb or private hostel room, eat out for all your meals, have a few drinks, take some guided tours, take the occasional taxi to get around, and visit more museums and attractions

On a “luxury” budget of 1,600 HRK per day, you can stay in a hotel, rent a car to get around, do private guided tours, eat and drink as much as you’d like, and visit as many museums and attractions as you want. This is just the ground floor for luxury though. The sky is the limit!

You can use the chart below to get an idea of how much you need to budget daily. Keep in mind these are daily averages — some days you’ll spend more, some days less (you might spend less every day). We just want to give you a general idea of how to make your budget. Prices are in HRK.

Croatia Travel Guide: Money-Saving Tips

Expenses in Croatia can add up quickly, especially if you take a lot of tours, boat trips, or just be on the Dalmatian coast where everything is about 30-50% more expensive than other parts of the country. Here are my tips on saving money when you visit Croatia:

• Visit during the shoulder season (or low season) – Prices in Croatia can double during July and August. If you want to make sure your money goes further here, visit during the low or shoulder seasons.
• Take a free walking tour – Both Dubrovnik and Split have free walking tours. They’re a great way to get familiar with the cities and their culture. Just be sure to tip your guide! Check out Dubrovnik Secrets for more information.
• Travel with Flixbus – Flixbus is a budget-friendly way to get around the country (and region). They have Wi-Fi, electrical outlets, and decent enough seats for long-haul journeys.
• Cook your own meals – Many hostels here have kitchens. While buying your own groceries may not be as glamorous as going out to eat, it will definitely save you money!
• Stay with a local – Staying with a local via Couchsurfing is a great way to save money and meet a knowledgeable local who can help you better understand the country and its people.
• Get the Croatia Pass – If you’re visiting between June-September and plan on seeing a lot of attractions, consider the CroatiaPass. It offers discounts on tons of attractions and will save you some money if you’re doing a lot of sightseeing. There are passes for several cities/regions including Zagreb, Split, and Dubrovnik (as well as passes that cover multiple regions). Prices vary per region (and for how many attractions you want to be included) but most will save you at least 250 HRK.
• Bring a reusable water bottle – The tap water here is safe to drink so bring a reusable water bottle to save money and reduce your reliance on single-use plastic. LifeStraw makes a portable filter that will keep your water clean and safe.
• Use points – Accommodation is expensive along the Dalmatian Coast, so use your points and miles on hotels to save money. It’s the best way to stay in nicer accommodation without breaking the bank.
• Get sandwiches at Milnar – For cheap eats, pick up sandwiches from Milnar, a chain bakery with stores around the country. You can find sandwiches for just 15 HRK (double that price in Dubrovnik, however).
• Get a city tourism card – The Zagreb Card offers free public transportation as well as admission to four museums and the zoo (as well as discounts at restaurants). If you plan on museum hopping, this card can save you over 200 HRK (it costs 98 HRK). The Dubrovnik Card has similar discounts as well as free entry to 9 attractions and free public transportation. It’s 250 HKR for the 24-hour pass. (Split has a free tourism card that offers 10% off of several activities, restaurants, and attractions).

Where to Stay in Croatia

During the high season, hostels book up fast so be sure to book in advance, especially on the coast so be sure to book in advance if you’re coming during peak season. Here are some of my favorite places to stay in Croatia:

• Hostel Dubrovnik Marine (Dubrovnik)
• Hvar Centre Dorms (Hvar)
• Falling Lakes Hostel (Plitvice Lakes)
• Crazy House Hostel Pula (Pula)
• Kamena Lodge (Split)
• Boutique Hostel Forum (Zadar)
• The Dot’s Hostel (Zagreb)

How to Get Around Croatia

Public transportation – Public transportation is fairly inexpensive in Croatia, with most tickets costing between 6-20 HRK, depending on the distance you go. Both Dubrovnik and Split have day passes that cost around 30 HRK for a 24-hour pass and 75 HRK for a 72-hour pass. Buses and trams are the main ways to get around Croatia’s cities.

Bus – To get around the country, Flixbus or Arriva is the most budget-friendly option. Croatia has invested heavily in improving its roads in recent years and traveling by bus is fast, cheap, and comfortable. Most buses have free Wi-Fi, reclining seats, sockets, and AC. You can use Get By Bus for routes and pricing information.

The cross-country 4.5-hour trip from Dubrovnik to Split starts at 98 HRK on Flixbus in the low season and 165 HRK on Arriva. The 2.5-hour trip from Split to Zadar starts at 75 HRK in the low season. Split to Zagreb takes around 5 hours and costs 135-160 HRK. Rovinj to Pula takes just under an hour and costs 55 HRK, while Pula to Zagreb costs around 188 HRK and takes 4.5-5 hours.

Note that buses have a 10 HRK fee for checked bags.

To find bus routes and prices, use BusBud .

Train – The train lines in Croatia have been neglected in favor of improving the roads. Therefore, trains are slow and infrequent. They also don’t run along the Dalmatian coast, making them more or less useless for most travelers. I wouldn’t recommend the train here.

Ferry – Ferries in Croatia are efficient and affordable. Most ferries in Croatia are owned by the national carrier Jadrolinija and are large car ferries (so you can bring a vehicle). There is also a network of catamarans that link many of the smaller islands. Most smaller ferries start at 40 HRK during the low season and 100 HRK during the high season. Use Croatia Ferries for routes and prices.

For the 4.5-hour ferry between Dubrovnik and Split, expect to pay at least 230-280 HRK.

Flying – Croatia Airlines is the domestic carrier and offers flights between Zagreb and other airports within the country, including Dubrovnik, Split, Pula, and Zadar. Prices are relatively comparable between all the destinations, with one-way tickets starting at around 1,000 HRK.

Car rental – Car rentals can be found for around 90-200 HRK per day. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is required before you can rent a car (it’s usually not enforced, but it’s better to be safe than sorry). For the best rental car prices, use Discover Cars .

When to Go to Croatia

The best time to visit Croatia is during the shoulder season between May-June or September-October. During these months, you can expect great weather and fewer crowds. This is also the perfect time for outdoor activities like hiking, boating, and kayaking. Expect temperatures around 22°C (71°F).

During the low season (November-April), the country is a lot cheaper, making it an affordable place to visit for anyone on a tight budget. However, many places (including hotels and restaurants) close for the winter due to the lack of tourists so your options are much more limited during this time.

During the peak season (July and August), expect to pay double what you would in the low season. Dubrovnik is especially busy (and expensive) during this time. The coastal resorts are packed with families and cruisers. Temperatures hover around 30°C (86°F) though so the weather is at its best.

How to Stay Safe in Croatia

Croatia is a safe country to visit. Violent crime against tourists is rare. Pickpocketing and theft can occur in busy areas in Zagreb and Dubrovnik so be sure to keep an eye on your belongings (especially while on crowded public transportation or at a bus station).

Croatia’s bars and nightclubs are known for overcharging so be vigilant and check your bill before paying. It is also important to watch your drink and never leave it unattended. Drink spiking has been known to happen at nightclubs in Zagreb, Zadar, Split, and Dubrovnik. It’s rare, but it never hurts to be extra careful.

Solo female travelers should generally feel safe in Croatia. However, the standard precautions apply (never walk home alone at night intoxicated, don’t accept drinks from strangers, etc.), especially in the party towns. For more tips, check out one of the many solo female travel blogs about the country. They can provide specific tips.

While out hiking take care not to wander far off the beaten path as there are still some regions in Croatia with unexploded landmines. If in doubt, ask locals for advice or hire an experienced guide.

Scams here are rare butt you can read about common travel scams to avoid here.

If you experience an emergency and require assistance, dial 112.

Always trust your gut instinct. Make copies of your personal documents, including your passport and ID.

The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past.

Entry requirements

This advice reflects the UK government’s understanding of current rules for people travelling on a full ‘British citizen’ passport from the UK, for the most common types of travel.

The authorities in Croatia set and enforce entry rules. If you’re not sure how these requirements apply to you, contact the Croatian Embassy in London .

COVID-19 rules

There are no COVID-19 testing or vaccination requirements for travellers entering Croatia.

Passport validity requirements

To travel to Croatia, you must follow the Schengen area passport requirements.

To enter Croatia (and all Schengen countries) your passport must:

• have a ‘date of issue’ less than 10 years before the date you arrive. Passports issued after 1 October 2018 are now valid for only 10 years, but for passports issued before 1 October 2018, extra months may have been added if you renewed a passport early
• have an ‘expiry date’ at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave

Contact the Croatian embassy in the UK if your passport does not meet both these requirements.

Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.

You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document, or try to use a passport that has been lost or stolen.

Checks at border control

Border checks have been introduced at Slovenia’s borders with Croatia and will be in place for 6 months. If travelling from Croatia, to Slovenia, consult our travel advice for Slovenia .

Make sure you get your passport stamped.

If you’re a visitor, your passport must be stamped when you enter or leave the Schengen area (which includes Croatia). Border guards will use passport stamps to check you haven’t overstayed the 90-day visa-free limit for stays in the Schengen area. If your passport was not stamped, border guards will presume you have overstayed the visa-free limit.

If your passport was not stamped, show evidence of when and where you entered or left the Schengen area (for example, boarding passes or tickets) and ask the border guards to add the date and location in your passport.

Read about passport stamping if you live in Croatia .

At Croatian border control, you may also need to:

• show proof of your accommodation, for example, a hotel booking confirmation or proof of address for a second home
• show proof of your travel insurance
• show a return or onward ticket
• prove that you have enough money for your stay – the amount varies depending on your accommodation

Visa requirements

You can travel without a visa to the Schengen area (including Croatia) for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. This applies if you travel:

• as a tourist
• to visit family or friends
• to attend business meetings, cultural or sports events
• for short-term studies or training

If you’re travelling to Croatia and other Schengen countries without a visa, make sure your whole visit is within the 90-day limit. Visits to Schengen countries in the 180 days before you travel count towards your 90 days.

To stay longer (to work or study, for business travel or for other reasons), you must meet the Croatian government’s entry requirements. Check which type of visa or work permit you need with the Croatian embassy in UK .

If you stay in Croatia with a residence permit or long-stay visa, this does not count towards your 90-day visa-free limit.

Vaccination requirements

At least 8 weeks before your trip, check the vaccinations and certificates you need in TravelHealthPro’s Croatia guide .

Registration with the police

Your accommodation provider must register your arrival in Croatia with the police within 48 hours. Your hotel will normally register you. If your accommodation provider is unable to do this for you, fill in and print out the form obrazac 16a . The completed form must be handed in at the police station. Alternatively you should go to the nearest police station with the owner of the accommodation to register your address in Croatia.

Customs rules

There are strict rules about goods that can be brought into and taken out of Croatia . You must declare anything that may be prohibited or subject to tax or duty.

Taking food and drink into Croatia

You cannot take meat, milk or products containing them into EU countries. There are some exceptions for medical reasons, for example certain amounts of powdered infant milk, infant food, or pet food. Check the rules about taking food and drink into the EU on the European Commission website.

‘Slow travel at its most joyous’: our three-week road trip to Croatia

Rather than bomb down motorways for marathon stretches, the idea was to see new things along the way, such as the great lakes of Germany and a Renaissance town in Italy

H ow far would you go – and how long would you take – to avoid flying and thoroughly embrace the idea of slow travel? In my case, it was 3,167 miles over three weeks. For nearly a decade I had wanted to do a road trip to Croatia, and to get as much out of the journey as the destination itself. Rather than bomb down the motorway for marathon stretches, the idea was to slow down and see new things.

It seemed we had barely rolled off Le Shuttle (the name Eurotunnel reverted to last spring) before my husband and I were out of France and bouncing along Belgium’s bumpy motorways. After a six-hour drive, Germany’s oldest city, Trier, made a pleasant overnight stop, the reconstructed gothic Hauptmarkt square bathed in late afternoon sunlight. Its summer pop-up bar taught me that the Mosel wine region makes some very drinkable rosés.

Germany proved to be one of those places where I couldn’t stop making mental notes on things to come back and explore; and the night we spent in Munich made me wonder why I had never visited before. It wasn’t just handsome Marienplatz and its neo-gothic new town hall; the food shops and stalls on Viktualienmarkt made me seriously hungry.

Rather than stay in the old town, we picked a hotel in Werksviertel, a few S-Bahn stops away. This former industrial area is now full of container bars, sleek hotels (including ours, the Adina , which has a fabulous roof terrace), concert venues and a huge ferris wheel.

Another lovely surprise – the first of many the next day – was Chiemsee, whose waters we glimpsed from the autobahn to Austria. Bavaria’s largest lake shot up my “How on earth have I never heard of this place and can I please come back?” list.

Our entry into Italy’s snappily named Friuli-Venezia-Giulia region coincided nicely with lunchtime. Determined to avoid a dire motorway meal, we found a restaurant in tiny Tarvisio where pizzas came smothered with local San Daniele ham. Later, in Udine, we watched a beautiful Renaissance town wake from its afternoon snooze and come alive with the evening passeggiata . An aperitivo in Piazza Giacomo Matteotti, a wander under Piazza della Libertà’s porticos, and a dinner of spaghetti alle vongole is what you want after a five-hour drive. The next day, when we caught our first glimpse of the Adriatic on our way to Trieste and stopped for lunch surrounded by Habsburg stateliness, I was making more plans to return.

Our Italian interlude was so delightful I was almost sorry to whiz through Slovenia and finally into Croatia. My goal was my parents’ region of Lika, in the west of the country, above Zadar, but for once I wasn’t visiting the inland area where my family came from. When I was writing my Croatia travelogue, My Family and Other Enemies , in 2022, I lamented how – with the exception of Plitvice Lakes national park and its surroundings – much of this beautiful region is being left behind in Croatia’s tourism boom. My intention this time was to explore Lika’s western half, where tourism has more of a foothold.

It’s easy to find a bucolic bolthole in Lika’s karst mountain landscape of forests, rivers and lakes. An online trawl came up with a wooden cottage outside the village of Perušić. Named IV-AN after its genial owner from nearby Gospić, the cottage was backed by forests and fronted by farmland. The only sounds were birdsong, crickets and, come evening, sizzling meats on the barbecue. My new obsession, the Merlin Bird ID app, picked up the calls of nuthatches, nightingales, owls and shrikes.

The lane behind led to Grabovača cave park , whose Samograd cave had been on my must-see list. Unfortunately, I was recovering from a knee injury and couldn’t tackle the slippery steps. The same went for other activities that are turning Lika into a giant adventure playground – rafting and kayaking on the Gacka and Lika Rivers and Lake Krušćica, mountain biking, quad biking and even just plain old hiking. But Lika has other tricks up its sleeve.

One of the most captivating is in the village of Kuterevo, about 45 minutes’ drive from our cottage. Since 2002, the Bear Refuge has been looking after orphaned brown bears whose mothers had been killed, or who had been rescued from illegal zoos, all kept in spacious enclosures. It’s free to enter, but volunteer wardens are happy to take donations. When it’s hot, the bears lurk in the shade, but on this rainy morning they were all ambling about. The most poignant was Bruno, who arrived in 2019 from an illegal zoo, and he still hasn’t lost his captivity habit of pacing back and forth.

Apart from Plitvice, Lika’s other claim to fame is the birthplace of Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla, whose village of Smiljan has spawned a mini-industry. At the Memorial Center Nikola Tesla you don’t have to be a science buff to enjoy the demonstration of the Tesla coil, the film about the inventor’s life, or the exhibits in the house where he was born – beside the 1765 church where Tesla’s father was parish priest.

Smiljan is only three miles from Lika’s county seat, Gospić, and its Lika Museum , housed in an attractive 18th-century building. Among the medieval artefacts and Habsburg furniture is a really good art gallery with an exhibition of early 20th-century photographs. Those photos had me spellbound: my paternal grandfather was Gospić’s railway stationmaster briefly, until his untimely death in 1933, and this gave me a glimpse into his world.

Western Lika’s other major town is Otočac, in the Gacka valley, the focus of much of the area’s outdoor pursuits. Most of the River Gacka is below ground, but what can be seen in this broad valley is serenely beautiful, shaded by trees and full of brown trout. If I couldn’t go kayaking, at least I could find a riverside restaurant – Bistro Ribić and Bumerang were particularly good – and we feasted on two whole grilled trout for €12.

Two of the three major sources that feed into the Gacka are only a few miles apart, both wondrous little watery worlds. At Majerovo Vrilo, old restored mill houses (one still milling flour) form a bridge across the mini rapids; behind them the clear water lay still and blue, with reeds and lily pads adding touches of green to match the forested hills behind. A handful of wooden houses overlook this idyllic spot, and I envied their occupants on their waterside terraces. It was a similar sight at Tonkovićevo Vrilo, where more of this sparkling water was burbling under wooden bridges.

In a region that still shows traces of war and continues to lose its young people to emigration, it was pleasing to see hikers, cyclists, anglers and kayakers enjoying this vast landscape. And one young man was there to keep Lika’s spirit flowing, literally. Ivan Vlainić, 31, is bucking the trend for leaving the countryside, having moved from Zagreb to become the fifth generation to run the family brandy business, Stilanova Lika .

“More young people like me have realised that we can make a living here,” he told me during a tasting of his smooth brandies in the restored family house outside Perušić.

Soon, however, we were leaving Lika to meander along the Istrian coast back towards Italy and a last-minute decision to visit Venice. That night, our simple one-star hotel on Italy’s Lake Iseo astonished us with its five-star view of the sun setting on Monte Isola. A few days in the French Alps and a final night in Burgundy rounded off our road trip. My brain was a jumble of languages, my phone overflowing with photos. It was slow travel at its most joyous, and worth the wait.
