AIRPORTS

closest airports:

We highly recommend flying to Zagreb Airport (Franjo Tuđman Airport), as it offers the widest range of regular international flights. The airport is well connected to the city centre by a shuttle bus service operating approximately every 30 minutes. The shuttle takes passengers to Zagreb Central Bus Station, with a journey time of around 35–40 minutes. A one-way ticket costs 8 EUR.

We managed to organize transport from Zagreb and Osijek to Orahovica. In the following form, you can find details about it, so please submit it by 14.9. at 23:59: https://forms.gle/mT1XiqdbU3kooiGt9

Other useful information

Language & communication

The official language is Croatian. It is used in all official communication, documents, and public services. English is widely spoken, especially among younger people, students, and in tourism-related sectors. In larger cities and hotels, communication in English is usually not a problem.

Currency & payment

Since 2023, Croatia uses the euro (€) as its official currency. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in cities, hotels, restaurants, and shops. However, in smaller towns or rural areas, it is still useful to carry some cash. ATMs are widely available across the country, even in smaller towns.

Voltage & Plug Type

The standard electrical voltage in Croatia is 220–240 volts with a frequency of 50 Hz. The most commonly used plug type is Type F (Schuko), which is also compatible with Type C plugs in many cases. Travellers from countries with different plug types may need a universal travel adapter to charge electronic devices.

Climate

In October the weather is generally mild and autumn-like. In areas such as Orahovica, temperatures usually range between 10°C and 20°C, with cooler mornings and evenings. The weather can be changeable, and rain is possible during this period, so we recommend bringing layered clothing and a light rain jacket. We also advise checking the weather forecast shortly before arrival in order to pack accordingly.

Safety & General Tips

Croatia is generally considered a very safe country for travellers. Tap water is safe to drink throughout the country. The general emergency number in Croatia is 112. Tipping is not mandatory, but it is appreciated as a sign of satisfaction with service (it is common to leave around 5–10% of the total bill, or simply round up the amount). Most shops are usually closed on Sundays. However, some larger supermarkets may operate with reduced working hours (typically until around 13:00), while shopping malls are generally open until the evening (around 21:00). Petrol stations are usually open every day and often operate 24/7, including on Sundays and public holidays.

Visa requirements

Citizens of some countries need visa to enter Croatia. Please keep in mind that the visa application process may take a considerable amount of time, so make sure to submit your application to the Croatian embassy or consulate in your country as soon as possible. You can find basic information about the visa regime between the Republic of Croatia and all other countries at MFEA (open this link and choose a country from the dropdown menu on the website for quick access). Information displayed on this website is liable to change, therefore we advise seeking additional information at the competent Croatian diplomatic mission / consular post before travelling.
