For many, the summer holiday is just around the corner. Especially Croatia is a popular destination. Hotels have reopened and many regions are no longer considered high-risk areas. Find out which rules still apply and what you have to watch out for as a holidaymaker!

Here's what you need to know

With more than 1,700 kilometres of coastline and more than 1,000 islands, Croatia is considered to be a true holiday destination. The numerous dreamy beaches and the idyllic cities provide a pure summer feeling! In the meantime, the corona figures are also falling in the Adriatic country, which means that entry for travellers is considerably easier. Since June 6th, the Robert Koch Institute no longer classifies the counties of Dubrovnik-Neretva, Istria, Karlovac, Krapina-Zagorje, Požega-Slavonia and Split-Dalmatia as risk areas.

This means that there is no obligation to quarantine upon entry as well as upon return to Austria. Before entering the country, however, holidaymakers must check this page to register and have to show a negative PCR test not older than 72 hours or a negative antigen test not older than 48 hours. Vaccinated persons only need to show their vaccination passport. Passports are only valid if the first vaccination was registered at least 22 days prior to entering the country or the second vaccination was 14 days before entry. People who have recovered from a Corona infection must show a certificate of recovery.
