Practical Tips for Your Visit

Entry/Visa: Croatia is part of the Schengen area; check your visa requirements before travel if arriving from outside the EU.

Tipping: Not mandatory, but a 10% tip is appreciated for good service in restaurants.

Plugs: Type C and F (standard European two-pin) are used throughout Croatia.

Safety: Dubrovnik is extremely safe; just watch for pickpockets in crowded areas during peak summer months.

Culture: Wear modest clothing (shoulders covered) when visiting churches; walking in beachwear in the Old Town can result in fines.

Connectivity: Buy a local SIM card (A1 or Tele2) at the airport for cost-effective data while exploring.
