For entry into Croatia many travelers do not need a visa, especially from the EU, Schengen countries, and some other countries. If your country of residence requires a visa, you can apply for it online through the Croatian Embassy. A visa is not available upon arrival, so early application is advisable.
Zagreb Airport (ZAG) is the largest and best-connected airport, ideal for international flights. Bureaucratic processes are efficient, and the airport offers numerous car rental services that are ideal for motorcycle trips. Alternatively, you can also land in Split or Dubrovnik, but Zagreb offers better connections.
Croatian Kuna (HRK) is the official currency. Credit cards are widely accepted, especially in urban areas and tourist destinations. Nevertheless, it is advisable to carry some cash for smaller amounts or rural areas. Many ATMs are available to withdraw cash.
Vaccinations are not mandatory, but recommended, especially against hepatitis A. Travel insurance is highly recommended to be covered in case of illness or injury during your motorcycle tours. Make sure your insurance provides international coverage and also includes motorcycle expenses.
To drive in Croatia you need a valid driver's license. EU driver's licenses are accepted. If your driver's license is not in Latin script, you should apply for an international driver's license. This ensures hassle-free driving and avoids potential legal complications.
SIM cards are easily available in Croatia. Providers like T-Cmobil or A1 have numerous shops and kiosks. Airports and larger cities also offer sales points. You usually get the best rate by purchasing the card directly in the store. Look out for prepaid offers for travelers.
