Croatia is considered the safest European destination you can visit. However, it is wise to be cautious in any new city in which you find yourself in and it is wise to invest in travel insurance before visiting the city.

Once in the city, tourists should use sunscreen with a SPF of at least 15 and wear protective clothing to avoid sunburn. Use sidewalks and marked crosswalks and pay attention to the traffic around you, especially in crowded areas. Keep an eye on your valuables at all times and avoid wandering around with large sums of cash and important documents, as pick-pockets and bag snatchers operate near museums and beaches. Avoid any political discussions in public places, as locals still have strong opinions about regional issues.

Tourists do not require any mandatory vaccinations to enter Croatia. However, all travellers are encouraged to do routine vaccinations before travelling to any destination. These vaccines include measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine, varicella (chickenpox) vaccine, polio vaccine, and yearly flu shot. A vaccination for hepatitis A is also recommended for most travellers.
