Wie sicher ist es?
4/5
Very safe for tourists. Petty crime is low outside Dubrovnik and Split tourist zones in peak summer. Landmines from the 1990s war still exist in remote rural areas — stick to marked paths in the countryside.
Worauf sollte ich mich vor Betrügern einstellen?
Overcharging at restaurants in Dubrovnik's Old Town — always check the bill carefully.
Unofficial tour guides near Dubrovnik's walls offering 'deals' — book through reputable companies.
Taxi overcharging from airports — use Uber or agree on fare before departure.
Welche gesundheitlichen Vorsichtsmaßnahmen sind sinnvoll?
Good healthcare in cities. EU citizens can use EHIC/GHIC. Private clinics available in tourist areas.
Jellyfish can be present in summer — ask locals about current conditions before swimming.
Welche Impfungen sind erforderlich?
Routine vaccines only. Tick-borne encephalitis vaccine recommended for rural/forested areas.
Ist Leitungswasser trinkbar?
Tap water is safe throughout Croatia. Sea water along the coast is exceptionally clean.
Gibt es aktuelle Reisewarnungen?
Do NOT stray from marked paths in rural areas near former conflict zones — unexploded landmines remain. Dubrovnik gets overwhelmingly crowded when cruise ships dock — plan visits around ship schedules.

Was sollte ich über die Kultur wissen?
Was sollte ich tun?
Explore beyond Dubrovnik — Split, Hvar, Zadar, Plitvice Lakes, and Istria are incredible.
Try fresh seafood, peka (slow-cooked meat/octopus), and local wines from Istria and Pelješac.
Island-hop along the Dalmatian coast — each island has its own character.
Was sollte ich vermeiden?
Don't only do Dubrovnik — Croatia's coastline stretches for hundreds of kilometers with stunning variety.
Don't bring up the 1990s war casually — it's recent and deeply personal for many Croatians.
Don't block walkways in Dubrovnik's Old Town — it's narrow and packed in summer.
Wie funktioniert das Trinkgeld?
Tip 10% at restaurants. Round up for taxis and coffee. Tipping is appreciated and increasingly expected in tourist areas.
Wie lautet die Kleiderordnung?
Casual and beach-friendly along the coast. Cover shoulders and knees in churches. Smart-casual for dining in upscale coastal restaurants.
Wie ist der religiöse Kontext?
