As an EU member since 2013 and eurozone member since 2023, Croatia also benefits from EU "roam like at home" rules, so EU-based travelers can use their home data allowance at no extra charge — a benefit that doesn't extend to non-EU visitors. On top of that, free Wi-Fi is genuinely widespread: nearly every hotel, apartment rental, café, and bar offers it, and a number of towns run their own free public hotspots. That coverage thins out fast on ferries between islands, in older stone Old Towns with thick walls, and along stretches of the coastal highway, which is where a standing eSIM data connection matters most for maps and translation on the go. - Local price per GB: $1.19/GB average for locals (rank 111 of 237 countries, cable.co.uk / BestBroadbandDeals Worldwide Mobile Data Pricing study) - Free Wi-Fi: Very common — most hotels, private accommodation, cafés, and bars offer free Wi-Fi to customers (often unadvertised, so just ask for the password), and several towns run free public hotspots in central squares. - Paid Wi-Fi: Rare as a standalone product — free Wi-Fi is so widespread in tourist areas that paid public Wi-Fi and internet cafés have largely disappeared. ## International airports - ZAG — Zagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport (Zagreb) — https://www.zagreb-airport.hr/en - SPU — Split Saint Jerome Airport (Split) — https://split-airport.hr - DBV — Dubrovnik Ruđer Bošković Airport (Dubrovnik) — https://www.airport-dubrovnik.hr/en - ZAD — Zadar Airport (Zadar) — https://www.zadar-airport.hr/en - PUY — Pula Airport (Pula) — https://airport-pula.hr/en/ - RJK — Rijeka Airport (Rijeka) — https://www.rijeka-airport.hr/ ### Travel advisories - Advisory data not currently available for this country. ## Local SIM / phone number situation Sources disagree on exactly how strict SIM registration is for tourists in Croatia: several guides recommend bringing a passport because operators like Hrvatski Telekom (T-HT), A1, and Telemach may ask for it to register a prepaid SIM (including short-term tourist packages), while other traveler accounts report that no ID was requested for a "tourist" prepaid package specifically, with registration reserved for postpaid or longer-term contracts. Practically, either way the process is fast: dedicated kiosks for T-HT, A1, and Telemach sit in the arrivals hall at Zagreb Airport (and other major airports), tourist SIM/eSIM bundles cost roughly €10–€25 for 10–90 days of data, and staff activate the card on the spot. As an EU/eurozone country, Croatia's own citizens and EU-based travelers get free roaming on their home plans, which is part of why the local tourist-SIM market is smaller and less aggressively marketed than in non-EU destinations — but that EU benefit doesn't help visitors from outside the EU. - KYC requirements: Conflicting reports: some sources recommend bringing a passport/ID to register a prepaid SIM, including tourist packages, from carriers like T-HT, A1, or Telemach; others report no ID was requested for a short-term tourist bundle specifically. Bring a passport to be safe — worst case it isn't asked for. - Wait time: Fast — dedicated carrier kiosks in the arrivals hall at major airports (e.g. Zagreb) activate a SIM on the spot; described by travelers as "quick and straightforward." - Jetogo Local SIM Hassle Score: 2.75/10 Wi-Fi calling lets you keep receiving calls and texts on your home phone number over an internet connection — including the data connection from your Jetogo eSIM — without needing a local SIM or number. Turn it on in your phone's settings before you travel (Settings > Phone > Wi-Fi Calling on iPhone, or Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi Calling on Android), and your carrier will route calls to your regular number through data instead of a local cell signal, so friends and family can reach you exactly as they always have. ## Practical travel info - Power sockets: types C, F — 230V, 50Hz - Type E and F plugs will also fit in type C sockets - Type C and E plugs will also fit in type F sockets - Emergency numbers: police 112, ambulance 112, fire 112 - Calling code: +385 - Driving side: right - Tipping: Generally not expected — but appreciated _Data via CountryWise._ ## FAQ **Does my Jetogo eSIM work on Croatia's islands like Hvar, Korčula, and Brač?** Yes. Croatia's mobile networks cover all the major tourist islands in populated areas and along ferry routes, though signal can thin out in remote coves or on open water crossings — normal for any carrier in the region. **Do I need to show a passport to use my Jetogo eSIM in Croatia?** No. Reports vary on whether locally purchased tourist SIM cards require passport/ID registration, but that requirement — where it applies — is only for SIMs bought in-country from a Croatian carrier. Your Jetogo eSIM is installed and paid for before you fly, so there's no in-country counter, ID check, or registration step. **Will my Jetogo eSIM work the same in Dubrovnik's Old Town as in Zagreb?** Yes, coverage is nationwide across Croatia's major carriers, including Dubrovnik's Old Town, Split, Zagreb, and the coastal highway connecting them — though, as anywhere, thick stone walls in historic centers can occasionally weaken indoor signal. **How does an eSIM actually work?** An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone — instead of inserting a physical card, you install a small profile (usually by scanning a QR code) and your phone connects to a local or partner network for data. There's nothing to pick up at a store or swap in your device; the whole process happens over Wi-Fi in a couple of minutes. **Is my phone compatible with eSIM?** Most phones from the last 4-5 years support eSIM, including iPhone XS and later, most Google Pixel models from the Pixel 3 onward, and many recent Samsung Galaxy, and other Android flagships. Check Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Network) for an "Add eSIM" or "Add Cellular Plan" option — if it's there, you're set. Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. **When does my eSIM activate — do I need to already be in the country?** You can install your Jetogo eSIM before you fly, but the data plan itself only starts counting once it connects to a network in your destination country — so there's no risk of burning through your allowance early. For most plans, connectivity kicks in automatically the moment you land and your phone finds a signal. **Can I use my eSIM as a personal hotspot?** Yes — hotspot and tethering are included on Jetogo eSIM plans at no extra cost, so you can share your connection with a laptop, tablet, or a travel companion's phone. **What happens when I run out of data? Can I top up?** You can top up directly from your Jetogo account in a couple of taps, without needing to buy a whole new plan or visit a store. Many travelers also use Jetogo's PayGo option, which lets you pay only for the data you actually use instead of committing to a fixed bundle. **Do I need a local phone number to use my eSIM?** No — Jetogo eSIMs are data-only, so there's no local phone number involved. If you need to make calls or send texts, you can use an internet calling app (like WhatsApp or FaceTime) over your eSIM data, or rely on Wi-Fi calling to keep using your existing home number (see below). **What is PayGo and why does it start at $5?** PayGo is Jetogo's pay-as-you-go option: you load a small starting balance — as low as $5 — and only pay for the data you actually use, with no expiration pressure or unused-data waste. It's a low-commitment way to try Jetogo or to cover shorter trips where a full data bundle would be overkill. **Will adding a Jetogo eSIM affect my existing phone number or home plan?** No. Your eSIM runs alongside your regular SIM (physical or eSIM) as a second, independent profile — your home number, texts, and voicemail keep working exactly as before. You simply choose which profile handles data while you're on Jetogo, and switch back anytime after your trip. ## Trust _Content coming soon._ ## Why Jetogo _Content coming soon._ ## Why Choose Jetogo _Content coming soon._ ## Practical travel info _Content coming soon._ ## Other countries pricing _Content coming soon._ --- Weather and air quality data © OpenWeatherMap, licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL): https://openweathermap.org/full-history Exchange rates via Frankfurter (European Central Bank reference rates): https://www.frankfurter.dev
