Traveling to Croatia? Land Connected.

Croatia pairs a long Adriatic coastline with walled old towns, island ferries and inland wine country. Data from touchdown makes it easy: maps for the old towns, ferry timetables, and restaurant bookings, all without hunting for a SIM shop on arrival.

Choose the Plan That Fits Your Trip

  • Fixed data or unlimited: pick from the plan grid above by trip length and data use — fixed-data plans for maps, messaging and light browsing, unlimited plans for heavy video, navigation and hotspot use.
  • Instant delivery: your QR code and installation link are emailed within minutes of checkout. Install before your flight; validity starts on the day you activate.
  • Good to know: your phone must support eSIM (dial *#06# and look for an EID), and your 15-digit IMEI is required at checkout so your eSIM can be provisioned.

Travel Highlights

  • Dubrovnik: walk the old town walls, then take the cable car above the terracotta roofs for the classic harbour view.
  • Split: Diocletian's Palace is a living old town of lanes, courtyards and cafés, not just a monument.
  • Istria: Rovinj harbour, hilltop Motovun, and truffle and olive-oil country around Buzet.
  • Plitvice Lakes: boardwalks over turquoise lakes and waterfalls — go early in the day to beat the crowds.
  • The islands: Hvar, Korčula and Vis by ferry, each with its own pace, beaches and old-town lanes.

Getting Around

  • Ride-hailing — yes: Uber and Bolt both operate in Zagreb, Split, Dubrovnik and other larger cities and tourist towns. Use the app for a set price rather than hailing on the street.
  • Between cities: buses are the workhorse for coastal and inland routes; trains cover the Zagreb–Split and Zagreb–Rijeka corridors. Book ferries to the islands in advance in summer.
  • City transport: Zagreb has trams and buses; Dubrovnik and Split are best explored on foot in the old town, with local buses for beaches and viewpoints.
  • Driving: the coastal highway is scenic but narrow in places; toll motorways run inland. A car helps for Istria and the Pelješac peninsula, but parking in old towns is limited.

Safety and Practical Tips

Croatia is generally safe for travelers. The main risks are pickpockets in busy old-town lanes, at ferry terminals and on crowded buses in summer — keep your phone and wallet in a front pocket or a zipped bag.

Tap-to-pay cards and phones are accepted in most shops, restaurants and hotels, but carry some cash for small cafés, markets and island businesses. Sea conditions can change quickly, so check local advice before swimming in unfamiliar coves.

Entry and Visa

Visa rules depend on your passport. Croatia is in the Schengen area: many passports enter visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period; other nationalities need a Schengen short-stay visa applied for before travel. Check the latest requirements for your passport before you book, and make sure your passport is valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area.

Weather and Climate

  • Two climates: Mediterranean along the Adriatic coast and islands (hot, dry summers, mild and wetter winters); continental inland around Zagreb and Slavonia (cold winters, hot and humid summers).
  • Coast at a glance: Split averages around 8°C in January and around 27°C in July. Sea swimming is comfortable roughly from June to September.
  • Best months: May, June and September are generally the best for sightseeing and the coast — warm, with fewer crowds than July and August. July and August are the hottest and busiest, and the best for island swimming. Inland winters can be cold, with snow possible.
  • What to pack: light layers and sun protection in summer, plus a light jacket for evenings; warmer layers and a waterproof jacket for spring, autumn and inland winter.

Money and Payments

  • Currency and cards: euros (EUR) since 2023. Cards are widely accepted in cities, hotels and restaurants; contactless is common. Keep some cash for small vendors, markets and island cafés.
  • WISE and similar travel cards — yes, supported: the Wise card works in Croatia wherever Visa or Mastercard is accepted, and a Wise EUR balance means you spend euros without converting each time. Similar multi-currency cards, such as Revolut, work the same way on the Visa/Mastercard network. Check the card app for current ATM limits and fees before you travel, as these change.
  • Tipping: rounding up is common; 10% for good restaurant service is appreciated but not expected. Taxi drivers are usually rounded up.
  • Cash tips: use ATMs in town rather than airport exchange counters, which usually give worse rates, and always choose to pay in euros (local currency) if a terminal offers conversion.
