City Basics<br />
When things go wrong<br />
Crime figures rank Croatia and the city of Dubrovnik<br />
significantly lower than most of Europe. Nevertheless, you<br />
should keep your eyes on your belongings at all time. In case<br />
of an emergency, Croatia has implemented Europe’s wide<br />
Emergency Number 112 which then transfers you to police,<br />
ER or the fire department. Depending on the city district,<br />
in case you were involved in an accident or were arrested,<br />
you will be taken to the nearest police station. In that case,<br />
contact your embassy or consulate. The main building for<br />
ER is located in General Hospital in Roka Mišetića bb (H-3)<br />
where everything necessary will be done. In case of an car<br />
accident call HAK road help 24/7 (+385 1) 1987, and as for<br />
accidents on the sea call 195.<br />
Toilets<br />
There are four public toilets in Dubrovnik Old City which will<br />
cost you 5 kn. Two of them are in Pile, one in Ploče, and one is<br />
at the Fishmarket (Peskarija). All are open 07:00 - 23:00, Peskarija<br />
07:00 - 02:00.<br />

Visas<br />
Since Croatia had become the newest member of the European<br />
Union on July 1, 2013, Croatian Visa Policies have since<br />
become fully compliant with European Union Visa Policy<br />
and Standards. So what does that exactly mean? All citizens<br />
of states that require visas to enter other EU member countries<br />
also need a visa to enter Croatia. Therefore, before visiting<br />
Croatia, be sure to visit the Croatian Embassy in your respective<br />
country of origin. In addition, if you are flying to Dubrovnik and<br />
wish to visit other cities throughout Croatia, we recommend<br />
you obtain a visa for multiple entries because of the border<br />
crossing through Bosnia and Herzegovina. If you cross the<br />
border without the aforementioned visa, you will not be able<br />
to enter Croatia.<br />
Water<br />
Tap water is absolutely safe for drinking.<br />
Tipping<br />
Generally, Croatian people are not overly concerned about<br />
tipping, but seeing how you’re a visitor to the country and<br />
all, you can practice some small-time diplomacy and throw a<br />
bit of goodwill to your server. Croatian people typically round<br />
their bill up to the nearest whole number when they want to<br />
tip, but leaving 10-15% for the staff’s efforts seems like a classy<br />
thing for a visitor to do, doesn’t it?<br />
