Travel Advice
From time to time, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the UK issues Travel Advisories for visits to Croatia. Accordingly, most visits to Croatia are trouble-free but the global threat from international terrorism can never be ruled out. Therefore, the travellers should take adequate precautions while visiting the places of tourists’ interest in Croatia.
Additionally, there is still a danger from unexploded landmines in isolated areas of Croatia. Most populated regions and major routes have been cleared of all landmines but some mountainous regions may still pose dangers from the landmines. Therefore, travellers are advised to deviate from the route and explore the unexplored parts of the country only with an expert guide.
The recent political turmoil in the country means extra security measures in place in the country. Therefore, travellers must always carry all the relevant travel documents whenever they are outdoors.
At the time of publishing, this information is correct. However, the travel advice is periodically and rapidly updated. Therefore, all the visitors are advised to contact at the following addresses for the latest travel advice:
