Travel Safety in Croatia
Overview
There are few security risks in Croatia. Crime, although not common, is marginally more likely to take place in urban areas such as the capital, Zagreb, and is generally of an opportunistic and petty nature.
Similarly, protests and other public demonstrations are more likely to occur in Zagreb and have the potential to turn violent. The risk of kidnapping and conflict is negligible. Terrorism is unlikely to occur.
There have been reports of harassment against racial and ethnic minorities, as well as LGBTQ+ persons.
Medical facilities are generally adequate in urban and resort areas. The availability of medical services may be limited in rural settings.
