Numerous traditional, cultural or religious manifestations take place on certain public or religious holidays. Although you probably won’t see any changes in working hours of shops, restaurants, shopping centres etc. during summer in tourist destinations, if you visit in the off season or go to a town where tourism isn’t a primary source of income, working hours on bank holidays might be different, or same as on Sundays. This means that some shops won’t be open, or that they will close sooner, and that most services won’t be available.

 

Moreover, timetables for buses, trains and other forms of public transportation might be different. Usually, there are fewer departures or they visit fewer destinations than on regular days.

Electricity

Electricity

The electric energy system in Croatia is the same as in the rest of Europe. All installations emit an alternating current of 220V/50Hz, and the sockets used are type F (so-called “Schuko” sockets). This means that European visitors (excepts those from Great Britain and Ireland) won’t require any adapters, while visitors coming from countries with a different system or socket standard should use standard, EU adapters.

Virtual walks

The abundance and diversity of beauties, attractions and sites that Croatia has to offer is too vast for you to discover them in only one trip, or even several of them. Certainly, there is no better way to discover this abundance than in person, but if you wish to see what you didn’t have time to visit, didn’t know it existed, or if you are just interested in a “test drive”, we recommend that you try one of the intense virtual strolls through the most interesting locations and attractions of Croatia, only a click away.
