Safety in Croatia

When it comes to safety in Croatia you can walk without particular attention almost everywhere but when it gets dark better don’t experiment in big city suburbs – city centers are safe but you shouldn’t explore the whole area by night.

Of course, as everywhere else, you should take care of your belongings, especially on the beach where some of your stuff (handy, wallet) could disappear while you take a swim.
If you use public transport –it’s also safe all around the country.
The mines from war in 90’s are no longer any threat to citizens or visitors (and they never were on the coast, only in some parts of inland).

Generally, you can be very relaxed on your holidays in Croatia.
