The continental part has a generally temperate continental climate, but with summers that are often very hot (average temperature: January -10°C to 5°C; August 19°C to 39°C), while mountainous areas at their highest elevation have a colder, alpine-like climate, and have the most precipitation. The coastal part has a Mediterranean climate which is on average warmer, but also more even throughout the year, and not normally marked by prolonged extreme heat (average temperature: January 6°C to 11°C; August 21°C to 39°C). This is because the temperature changes are moderated by the Adriatic sea. Still, the area is not immune to heatwaves which may cause wildfires to erupt; they are managed by firefighters and rarely cause significant damage to communities. Mediated by the local topography, specific seaside areas experience a dry and cool wind forcefully descending from the mountains, called <i id="mwXA">bura</i>; it can adequately be summed up as unpleasant (upon direct exposure), however it has a positive corollary in that it brings in high-quality mountain air.

This region came under <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Roman_Empire" title="Roman Empire" id="mwZA">Roman control</a> and became a province known as Illyricum from 27 BC. In the 5th century, Rome was declining and the Ostrogoths seized an opportunity to rule the area for a short period. The Avars arrived soon after, incorporating the land into the Avar Khaganate.</p> <p id="mwZQ">In the early 7th century the Croats came and defeated the Avars, and formed two duchies: Croatia and Pannonia. The establishment of the Trpimirović Dynasty ca 850 strengthened the Dalmatian Croat Duchy, which together with the Pannonian principality became a kingdom in 925 under King Tomislav. The independent Croatian kingdom lasted until 1102 when Croatia, after a series of dynastic struggles entered into a personal union with Hungary, with a Hungarian king ruling over both countries. In 1526, after the Battle of Mohács, in which Hungary suffered a catastrophic defeat against the Ottoman Turks, Croatia severed its relationship with Hungary and its parliament (Sabor) voted to form a new personal union with the Habsburg Monarchy. Croatia remained an autonomous kingdom within the Habsburg state (and later <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Austria-Hungary" title="Austria-Hungary" class="mw-redirect" id="mwZg">Austria-Hungary</a>) until the empire's dissolution following its defeat in World War I.</p> <p id="mwZw">In 1918, a short-lived State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs (carved out of south Slavic parts of Austria-Hungary) joined the Kingdom of Serbia to form the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, later renamed Yugoslavia in 1929. The new state was unitarist in character, erasing all historical borders within its new territorial division, which resulted in a strong movement for more autonomy for Croatia. This was achieved in 1939, only days before the start of World War II, when Croatia was granted broad autonomy within Yugoslavia as Banovina of Croatia. When Axis powers Germany and Italy invaded Yugoslavia in 1941, the state was dissolved, parts of it annexed to Germany and Italy, and puppet governments installed in Croatia and Serbia. After the 1941 split between the Partisans and the Chetniks in Serbia, the Chetnik groups in central, eastern, and northwestern Bosnia found themselves caught between the German and Ustaše (NDH) forces on one side and the Partisans on the other. Almost immediately, a strong resistance movement was formed, led by communist leader Josip Broz "Tito" (whose father was a Croat), which gained broad popular support. The Ustasa-led Nazi puppet state, the Independent State of Croatia – which included most of present-day Croatia, all Bosnia and Herzegovina and a small part of Serbia – had a population of some six million people, including around 3.5 million Croats, 1.8 million Serbs and 700,000 Bosniaks. Modelled on Nazi Nuremberg laws, the NDH in April 1941 passed legislation against “non-Aryan” Jews and Roma. After Jasenovac concentration camp was founded in 1941, solely by the governing Ustaše regime rather than by Nazi Germany as in the rest of occupied Europe, in its vision of an ethnically pure state – with Bosniaks considered as Croats of the Muslim faith – the NDH started targeting Serbs and two minorities, Jews and Roma, and others were killed because they were anti-fascists, as well as real or suspected political enemies. In the 2000s, the Jasenovac Memorial Site started working on a list of all the inmates who were killed or died at the camp, using existing name-by-name lists, documents, confirmations of deaths and verifications by relatives. The Memorial site has put together the most comprehensive name-by-name list so far, which includes a total of 83,145 victims. Sorted by ethnicity, the list has 47,627 Serbs, 16,173 Roma and 13,116 Jews, while Croats, Bosniaks and others make up the total number. While the Memorial Site itself says that the number is not final, as well as admitting the possibility that there are isolated mistakes in its list, it believes that the total death toll is within its estimate of between 80,000 and 100,000 people. By early 1945, the NDH army withdrew towards Zagreb with German and Cossack troops. They were overpowered and the advance of Tito's Partisan forces, joined by the Soviet Red Army, caused a mass retreat of the Ustaše towards Austria. The British Army, however, refused them entry and turned them over to the Partisan forces, starting the Bleiburg repatriations. Although NDH (1941–1945) was part of Croatia's history, current Constitution of Croatia does not officially recognise the Independent State of Croatia as the historical or legitimate predecessor state of the current Croatian republic.</p> <p id="mwaA">After the end of World War II, the Constitution of 1946 made the People's Republic of Croatia and the People's Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina two of the six constituent republics of the new Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Communist Yugoslavia was formed with Tito becoming "president for life". Tito ruled with a strong hand, using political repression and secret police to quell any separatist sentiments, with the official motto of the new country being "Brotherhood and Union". Still, Yugoslavia didn't belong to the Warsaw Pact, and broke off political ties with the USSR in 1948. It was by far the most open socialist country in Europe, and its citizens enjoyed more civil liberties and a higher living standard than the rest of the Communist bloc.</p> <p id="mwaQ">After Tito's death in 1980, the weakening of political repression led to a period of political instability. Faced with the rise of nationalist sentiment and the fall of communism in eastern Europe in 1989 and 1990, the first free elections were held in Yugoslavia in almost 45 years. In January 1990, the Communist Party fragmented along national lines, with the Croatian and Slovenian delegations demanding a looser federation, while the Serbian side, headed by Slobodan Milošević, opposed this leading to a rise in inter-ethnic tensions. In late April and early May 1990, the first multi-party elections were held in Croatia, with Franjo Tuđman's win and constitutional changes in 1990 transforming the Socialist Republic of Croatia into the Republic of Croatia. Nationalist Serbs in Croatia boycotted the Croatian Sabor and seized control of Serb-inhabited territory, setting up road blocks and voting for those areas to become autonomous. The Serb "autonomous oblasts" would soon become increasingly intent on achieving independence from Croatia. This led to open war in Croatia and later in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and by mid-1991, the Croatian War of Independence had already started.</p> <p id="mwag">Croatia was first recognised as an independent state on 26 June 1991 by Slovenia, which declared its own independence on the same day as Croatia. But by 29 June, the Croatian and Slovenian authorities agreed to a three-month moratorium on the independence declaration, in an effort to ease tensions. On 8 October 1991, the Croatian Parliament severed all remaining ties declaring their independence from Yugoslavia. Serb-controlled areas of Croatia were part of the three "Serb Autonomous Oblasts" later known as the Republic of Serbian Krajina, bulk of which would not be under Croatian control until 1995.</p> <p id="mwaw">Finally, Croatian independence was internationally recognised in January 1992, when both the European Economic Community and the United Nations granted Croatia diplomatic recognition, and the country was accepted into the United Nations shortly thereafter. The war ended four years later, in 1995, with a decisive Croatian victory in Operation Storm. Present day borders of Croatia were established when the remaining Serb-held areas of eastern Slavonia were restored to Croatia pursuant to the Erdut Agreement of November 1995, with the process concluded in January 1998. The anniversary of Operation Storm is celebrated as Thanksgiving Day in Croatia every August 5.</p> <p id="mwbA">After a period of accelerated economic growth in the late 1990s and 2000s Croatia joined NATO in 2009 and the European Union in 2013. Croatia today is a functioning liberal democracy, with a free market system and a robust welfare state.</p> </section><section data-mw-section-id="8" id="mwbQ"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwAuI"><h3 id="Holidays">Holidays</h3><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwAuM"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAuQ">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Croatia&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Holidays" id="mwAuU"><span id="mwAuY">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAuc">]</span></span></div> <ul id="mwbg"><li id="mwbw"><b id="mwcA">January 1</b>: New Year's Day</li> <li id="mwcQ"><b id="mwcg">January 6</b>: Epiphany</li> <li id="mwcw"><b id="mwdA">Easter</b> (according to the Gregorian calendar)</li> <li id="mwdQ"><b id="mwdg">Corpus Christi</b> (60 days after Easter)</li> <li id="mwdw"><b id="mweA">May 1</b>: International Workers' Day</li> <li id="mweQ"><b id="mweg">June 22</b>: Anti-Fascist Struggle Day</li> <li id="mwew"><b id="mwfA">June 25</b>: Statehood Day</li> <li id="mwfQ"><b id="mwfg">August 5</b>: Victory and Homeland Thanksgiving Day and the Day of Croatian defenders</li> <li id="mwfw"><b id="mwgA">August 15</b>: Assumption of Mary</li> <li id="mwgQ"><b id="mwgg">October 8</b>: Independence Day</li> <li id="mwgw"><b id="mwhA">December 25</b>: Christmas</li></ul> </section><section data-mw-section-id="9" id="mwhQ"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwAug"><h3 id="Visitor_information">Visitor information</h3><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwAuk"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAuo">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Croatia&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Visitor information" id="mwAus"><span id="mwAuw">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAu0">]</span></span></div> <ul id="mwhg"><li id="mwhw"><a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://croatia.hr/en-gb" class="external text" id="mwiA">Explore Croatia</a></li></ul> </section></section><section data-mw-section-id="10" id="mwiQ"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2" id="mwAu4"><h2 id="Talk">Talk</h2><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwAu8"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAvA">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Croatia&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Talk" id="mwAvE"><span id="mwAvI">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAvM">]</span></span></div> <dl about="#mwt54" typeof="mw:Transclusion" id="mwig" data-mw='{"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"Seealso","href":"./Template:Seealso"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Croatian phrasebook"}},"i":0}}]}'><dd><i>See also: <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Croatian_phrasebook" title="Croatian phrasebook">Croatian phrasebook</a></i></dd></dl> <p id="mwiw">The main language is <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Croatian_phrasebook" title="Croatian phrasebook" id="mwjA">Croatian</a>, a Slavic language similar to <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Serbian_phrasebook" title="Serbian phrasebook" id="mwjQ">Serbian</a> and <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Bosnian_phrasebook" title="Bosnian phrasebook" id="mwjg">Bosnian</a>.</p> <p id="mwjw">Most younger Croats who grew up after the fall of Yugoslavia can speak English proficiently (especially in urban areas), but <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/German_phrasebook" title="German phrasebook" id="mwkA">German</a> and <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Italian_phrasebook" title="Italian phrasebook" id="mwkQ">Italian</a> are also very popular (largely because of historical reasons).

You should therefore exercise caution when driving a car. The winding and narrow roads along the coast, excessive speeds and reckless overtaking can cause accidents. During the July-August tourist season, be prepared for congestion at key border crossings and on the roads leading to the coast. </p> <p id="mwAXo">Roads in Croatia are usually well maintained, but can be very narrow and full of curves. Some local roads in Istria have been worn down to a smooth surface from regular wear and tear, and can be extremely slippery when wet. Highways with more than one lane per direction (motorways) tend to connect major cities and can be well out of the way even for some longer routes such as to Plitvice. Speed limits outside motorways are thus low (60–90<span typeof="mw:Entity" id="mwAXs"> </span>km/h), and it's not recommended to drive faster (although most locals do), especially at night. Beware of animals crossing the road.</p> <p id="mwAXw">In case you want to overtake a slow vehicle on a narrow road, often the drivers in front of you will flash their right yellow turning lights and drive all the way on the right to signal the drivers behind that it is okay to overtake. But this is at your own risk.</p> <p id="mwAX0">Renting a car is around the same price as in the EU (from around <abbr title="€40 ≈ US$43, UK£33, CA$60, AU$65, NZ$72" about="#mwt63" typeof="mw:Transclusion" id="mwAX4" data-mw='{"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"EUR","href":"./Template:EUR"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"40"}},"i":0}}]}'>€40</abbr>).

Roads on which you cannot hitchhike are usually denoted by a sign with the word 'autostop' crossed out ('autostop' is Croatian for 'hitchhiking'). These are generally motorways: Hitchhiking directly on a motorway (i.e. while standing on the stopping lane) could easily result in a fine if a police car passes by. If you can get to a highway toll stop simply ask people to take you with them as they open their windows to pay the toll. The toll collectors usually won't mind.

If you are in <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Zagreb" title="Zagreb" id="mwAZ0">Zagreb</a> and you are, like most people, heading south, take the bus 111 from the Savski most station in Zagreb and ask the bus driver where to get off to get to the toll stop. The next best place to ask people to pick you up are gas stations.

Towns and cities generally have a historical urban core that exhibits the architectural heritage of a specific era. To a get a sense of Croatia as a whole—how it was shaped by different influences, and the resulting contrasts—it is important to visit both the coastal and the inland part of the country. <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Dubrovnik" title="Dubrovnik" id="mwAaU">Dubrovnik</a> being such a world renowned destination, it is often taken as the exemplar of the former style. However it is more of an enclosed world with its admirably individual aesthetic (having been an independent city-state for the most of its history). Other similarly gratifying places, like <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Šibenik" title="Šibenik" id="mwAaY">Šibenik</a>, carry the true spirit of Dalmatia, but going further north along the coast, there is <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Rijeka" title="Rijeka" id="mwAac">Rijeka</a>, which again has quite a different kind of charm.</p> <p id="mwAag">Dominating continental Crotia lies its capital of <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Zagreb" title="Zagreb" id="mwAak">Zagreb</a>, a home to nearly 1 million.

Most charters leave from <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Split" title="Split" id="mwAbg">Split</a> or the surrounding area on the North or the South circuit, each offering its own pros and cons, although <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Dubrovnik" title="Dubrovnik" id="mwAbk">Dubrovnik</a> is becoming increasingly popular. A good way is to book a package with a company at home (and let them worry about speaking in Croatian!), although many Croatian companies do offer both bareboat and crewed charters.</p> <p id="mwAbo">Booking a charter vessel is basically done in two payments: 50 percent of the charter price is paid as a deposit, after which the booking is confirmed. The other 50 percent of the charter fee is usually paid six weeks before the charter date. Before paying the first charter fee you should request to see the charter contract from the agency where you chartered a boat – pay close attention to the cancellation fees because in many cases if you cancel your charter vacation you could lose the initial fifty percent you have already paid. After that you are all set to go sailing.</p> <p id="mwAbs">Most yachts are only available on a Saturday–Saturday basis in peak season (May–September); there may be more flexibility from yacht companies in April and October if you can't do the full week. When you arrive at the 'home marina' (where your chartered yacht is moored), you need to do the check in (usually Saturday around 16:00) and you have to do the shopping for the charter vacation. There is usually a mini-market in the marina, but it will be expensive compared to a normal supermarket. Typically you will be nearest a big supermarket on the first day, so it's the best time to stock up. Buy everything that you possibly can (that won't go off) – the sea and winds can be unpredictable and you don't want to get stuck on the boat with nothing to eat or drink! Top up your shopping with fresh bread, meat, fruit and vegetables in local marinas.</p> <p id="mwAbw">You can also order from yacht provisioning services that can deliver your shopping straight to your yacht. This is convenient because it takes the load off you and the things you must do when you arrive at the marina for your sailing holiday, but also (obviously) works out more expensive.</p> </section><section data-mw-section-id="29" id="mwAb0"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwA2A"><h3 id="Naturist_resorts">Naturist resorts</h3><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwA2E"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwA2I">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Croatia&action=edit&section=29" title="Edit section: Naturist resorts" id="mwA2M"><span id="mwA2Q">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwA2U">]</span></span></div> <p id="mwAb4">Croatia was the first country in Europe to introduce the concept of commercial <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Naturism" title="Naturism" id="mwAb8">naturist resorts</a>.

This applies to all goods except petroleum products. At point of purchase ask the sales person for a PDV-P form. Fill it out and have it stamped on the spot. On leaving Croatia the receipt will be verified by the Croatian Customs service. A PDV refund can be obtained within six months, either at the same shop where you bought the goods (in that case the tax will be refunded to you immediately), or by posting the verified receipt back to the shop, together with the account number into which the refund should be paid. In this case the refund is dealt with within 15 days of receipt of the claim. There is another, much easier way to receive the refund. Buy your goods in shops with a "Croatia Tax-free Shopping" label. This label is displayed on the shop's entrance, usually next to the labels of credit cards and debit cards this particular shop accepts. Using an international coupon, refund is possible in all countries-members of the Tax-free international chain. In this case the service charge is deducted from the tax refund amount.</p> <p id="mwAeM">Croatia now uses the Global Blue system. They will do the refund and take a commission.

The market is dominated by globally ubiquitous hamburgers and pizzas but you will also find "burek" and "ćevapčići" imported from the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire" title="Ottoman Empire" id="mwAhQ">Ottoman Empire</a>, which stretched from the Middle East to neighbouring Bosnia. The latter two dishes are widely popular throughout Southeastern Europe. Burek is a type of meat or cheese pastry whereas <i id="mwAhU">ćevapčići</i> are seasoned minced meat shaped in finger-size portions served in bread and often covered with onions. Although definitely not a fast meal (takes several hours to prepare), also foreign in origin is the so-called <i id="mwAhY">sarma</i> or sauerkraut rolls filled with minced meat and rice. For those coming back from nightclubs at 04:00 or 05:00 as is common in Croatia, it is popular to go to the local bakery and get fresh bread, <i id="mwAhc">burek</i> or <i id="mwAhg">krafne</i> (Croatian chocolate filled donuts) straight out of the oven. As far as fast food goes, who needs it when you can buy delicious <i id="mwAhk">prsut</i> during the day and warm bread at night to compliment it. Most Croatians generally look down at fast food.</p> <p id="mwAho">Desserts: What it lacks in the fast food department Croatia makes up with a myriad of desserts. Probably the most famous is its delicious creamy cake called <i id="mwAhs">kremšnite</i> but different kinds of <i id="mwAhw">gibanica</i>, <i id="mwAh0">štrudla</i> and <i id="mwAh4">pita</i> (similar to strudel and pie) such as <i id="mwAh8">orehnjača</i> (walnut), <i id="mwAiA">makovnjača</i> (poppy) or <i id="mwAiE">bučnica</i> (pumpkin and cheese) are also highly recommended. <i id="mwAiI">Dubrovačka torta od skorupa</i> is delicious but hard to find. <i id="mwAiM">Paprenjaci</i> (pepper cookies) are said to reflect Croatia's tumultuous history because they combine the harshness of the war periods (pepper) with the natural beauties (honey). They can be bought in most souvenir shops though the freshly made ones are always a better choice. <i id="mwAiQ">Rapska torta</i> (The Rab island cake) is made with almonds and locally famous cherry liquor <i id="mwAiU">Maraschino</i>. This is hardly an exhaustive list and to dive further into the regionalities of Croatian cuisine, one can read the city and region articles.</p> <p id="mwAiY">Chocolate candy <i id="mwAic">Bajadera</i> is available throughout shops in the country and along with <i id="mwAig">Griotte</i>, is one of the most famous products of the Croatian chocolate industry.</p> <p id="mwAik">An unavoidable ingredient in many meals prepared in Croatia is "Vegeta". It is a spice produced by Podravka.</p> <p id="mwAio">Olives: a lot of people claim that Croatian olives and their olive oil are the best in the world. Many brands exist and some of them have several world awards. Try to buy olive oil from Istra (although oil from Dalmatia is also excellent) and choose only Croatian brands for olives. Try to read the label before buying to ensure you are buying Croatian olives and oil, since there are many cheaper imports, usually from Greece. All of this can be found in most supermarkets, but you should be really aware of the imports. Most Croatians aren't experts and prefer cheaper products, so the cheaper oils dominate the shelves.</p> <p id="mwAis">The olive oil is an irreplaceable ingredient in coastal Croatian cuisine, but be aware of the use of cheaper, non-Croatian oil in restaurants. Most tourists don't notice the difference so the restaurants don't find it profitable to use excellent oil; they rather use cheaper Spanish or Greek. Usually, asking the waiter for a better oil (and looking like an expert) helps, and soon the waiter will get you a first-class oil hidden away at the back of the restaurant.</p> </section><section data-mw-section-id="42" id="mwAiw"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2" id="mwA64"><h2 id="Drink">Drink</h2><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwA68"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwA7A">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Croatia&action=edit&section=42" title="Edit section: Drink" id="mwA7E"><span id="mwA7I">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwA7M">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwAi0"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Medica_(Međimurje).jpg" class="mw-file-description" id="mwAi4"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Medica_(Međimurje).jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3d/Medica_%28Me%C4%91imurje%29.jpg/220px-Medica_%28Me%C4%91imurje%29.jpg" decoding="async" data-file-width="1536" data-file-height="2048" data-file-type="bitmap" height="293" width="220" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3d/Medica_%28Me%C4%91imurje%29.jpg/330px-Medica_%28Me%C4%91imurje%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3d/Medica_%28Me%C4%91imurje%29.jpg/440px-Medica_%28Me%C4%91imurje%29.jpg 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwAi8"/></a><figcaption id="mwAjA">Bottles of <i id="mwAjE">medica</i></figcaption></figure> <p id="mwAjI">Alcoholic: <b id="mwAjM">Rakija</b>, a type of brandy which can be made of plum (<i id="mwAjQ">šljivovica</i>), grapes (<i id="mwAjU">loza</i>), figs (<i id="mwAjY">smokovača</i>), honey (<i id="mwAjc">medica</i>) and many other types of fruit and aromatic herbs, is the main distilled beverage served in Croatia. <b id="mwAjg">Pelinkovac</b> is a bitter herbal liquor popular in Central Croatia, but is said to resemble cough-medicine in flavor.

They all have occasional traffic reports, but only HR 2 translates them into English, German and Italian during the summer. Other nationwide stations are HRT-HR 1 (news/features), HRT-HR 3 (mostly classical music), Narodni (Croatian pop) and HKR (Catholic radio).</p> <p id="mwArE">Newspapers and magazines from Germany, Austria, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Russia, Slovenia, Serbia and other countries are available in Croatia. In Zagreb and the northern coastal areas some foreign newspapers arrive on the cover date, elsewhere they are late.</p> <p id="mwArI"> <br id="mwArM"/></p> <meta typeof="mw:Extension/indicator mw:Transclusion" about="#mwt83" id="mwArQ" data-mw='{"name":"indicator","attrs":{"name":"i3-geo"},"body":{"extsrc":"<span style=\"display:none\"><span class=\"geo\"><abbr class=\"latitude\">44.9</abbr><abbr class=\"longitude\">15.7</abbr></span></span><span title=\"Click for a full screen dynamic map...\">[[File:Map mag.png|25px|link=//wikivoyage.toolforge.org/w/poimap2.php?lat=44.9&lon=15.7&zoom=8&layer=W&lang=en&name=Croatia|alt=Full screen dynamic map]]</span>"},"html":"<span style=\"display:none\" data-parsoid='{\"stx\":\"html\"}'><span class=\"geo\" data-parsoid='{\"stx\":\"html\"}'><abbr class=\"latitude\" data-parsoid='{\"stx\":\"html\"}'>44.9</abbr><abbr class=\"longitude\" data-parsoid='{\"stx\":\"html\"}'>15.7</abbr></span></span><span title=\"Click for a full screen dynamic map...\" data-parsoid='{\"stx\":\"html\"}'><span typeof=\"mw:File\" data-parsoid='{\"optList\":[{\"ck\":\"width\",\"ak\":\"25px\"},{\"ck\":\"link\",\"ak\":\"link=//wikivoyage.toolforge.org/w/poimap2.php?lat=44.9&amp;lon=15.7&amp;zoom=8&amp;layer=W&amp;lang=en&amp;name=Croatia\"},{\"ck\":\"alt\",\"ak\":\"alt=Full screen dynamic map\"}]}'><a href=\"//wikivoyage.toolforge.org/w/poimap2.php?lat=44.9&amp;lon=15.7&amp;zoom=8&amp;layer=W&amp;lang=en&amp;name=Croatia\" data-parsoid=\"{}\"><img alt=\"Full screen dynamic map\" resource=\"./File:Map_mag.png\" src=\"//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ce/Map_mag.png/25px-Map_mag.png\" decoding=\"async\" data-file-width=\"32\" data-file-height=\"32\" data-file-type=\"bitmap\" height=\"25\" width=\"25\" srcset=\"//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ce/Map_mag.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ce/Map_mag.png 2x\" class=\"mw-file-element\" data-parsoid='{\"a\":{\"resource\":\"./File:Map_mag.png\",\"height\":\"25\",\"width\":\"25\"},\"sa\":{\"resource\":\"File:Map mag.png\"}}'/></a></span></span>","parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"geo","href":"./Template:Geo"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"44.9"},"2":{"wt":"15.7"},"zoom":{"wt":"8"}},"i":0}}]}'/><link rel="mw:PageProp/Category" href="./Category:Has_Geo_parameter" about="#mwt83" id="mwArU"/> <link rel="mw:PageProp/Category" href="./Category:Balkans" about="#mwt86" typeof="mw:Transclusion" id="mwArY" data-mw='{"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"isPartOf","href":"./Template:IsPartOf"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Balkans"}},"i":0}}]}'/><link rel="mw:PageProp/Category" href="./Category:All_destination_articles" about="#mwt86"/><span about="#mwt86"> </span> <div class="noprint" about="#mwt87" typeof="mw:Transclusion" id="mwArc" data-mw='{"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"outlinecountry","href":"./Template:Outlinecountry"},"params":{},"i":0}}]}'> <table id="outline_country" class="article-status" style="border-style:dotted;"> <tbody><tr><td></td> <td>This <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Geographical_hierarchy#Countries" title="Wikivoyage:Geographical hierarchy">country</a> travel guide to <b>Croatia</b><span typeof="mw:Entity"> </span>is an <b><a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Outline_articles" title="Wikivoyage:Outline articles">outline</a></b><span typeof="mw:Entity"> </span>and may need more content.
