Istria travel continues to be problem-free<\/h2>\r\nIstria, the only county in Croatia with its own coastline for which there is currently no travel warning from a German perspective, continues to hold up very well, with a 7-day incidence of 51 and a 14-day incidence of 81.

Croatia tightens corona measures regionally<\/h2>\r\nSpecific measures apply to individual regions. For example, in Dalmatia (Split-Dalmatia and Sibenik-Knin), the sale of alcohol is prohibited between 20.00 h and 6 h, and in the capital Zagreb there is to be a general mask requirement.\r\n

Tighter controls and traffic jams expected in Easter travel<\/h2>\r\nAlthough the press conference did not expect a larger volume of tourists over the Easter holidays, vacationers entering Croatia should be prepared for longer waiting times at the borders, as tighter controls are expected from Maundy Thursday. Already, Croatia travelers are reporting up to 2 hours of waiting time at the Slovenian-Croatian border when entering Croatia, and that's with normal traffic.\r\n

Discipline required when entering Croatia<\/h2>\r\nTherefore, at this point again the urgent request to have all the necessary papers at hand when crossing the border into Croatia. In addition, it is essential to register beforehand at EnterCroatia<\/a> to register.\r\n\r\n \r\n
