Staying safe

• •Croatia is extremely safe by international standards in most crime categories.
• •In case of an emergency, dial 112 for fire brigade, police, ambulance or mountain rescue.
• •Police can search anyone at any time in public spaces and while they should have a reason there is in reality no recourse against it. Everyone is required to carry an ID or passport.
• •Corruption exists but is exceedingly rare compared to other countries in the region. Attempts to bribe police will get you arrested.
• •It is not uncommon that older Police officers outside Zagreb, even in Rijeka, Pula & Split, do not speak any English.
• •Generally it is not advisable to carry knives even though it is not illegal. With an explanation (fishing, food, camping....) and not intoxicated this is usually not a problem.

Staying healthy

• •No vaccinations are required when going to Croatia.
• •If you're going camping or hiking in continental Croatia during summer, you should be aware of ticks and tick-carrying diseases such as encephalitis and lyme disease.
• •In Eastern Slavonia (particularly around the Kopački Rit near Osijek) wear long sleeves and take insect repellent.
• •Tap water in Croatia is perfectly safe, and in some areas considered the best in the world.
• •Though the water may be some of the best in the world, avoid drinking the home-made wine sold in refilled plastic jugs in many local farmer's markets as it may cause intestinal distress.
