Rules in force · 6The Upper Town has cobbles and steps
- Croatia ↗Croatia is in the EU and the Schengen area; the EU Entry/Exit System applies to non-EU visitors. Check the official EU and Croatian sources for your passport.
- Croatia ↗Book car ferries and popular catamarans ahead in summer; foot passengers still need to be early for the busiest routes.
- Croatia ↗Split and Dubrovnik fine visitors for walking shirtless or in swimwear away from beaches; carry a cover-up.
- Zagreb and continental Croatia ↗Book Plitvice Lakes timed tickets ahead in season and arrive early.
- Zagreb ↗The Upper Town has cobbles and steps: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk up the hill.
- Zagreb ↗Dolac market is busiest and best in the morning; stalls thin out by early afternoon and on Sundays.
