Current Travel Situation

Gabon to Croatia: What You Need to Know

Croatia joined the Schengen Area in January 2023, meaning Gabon citizens now need a standard Schengen C visa to enter. The French Embassy in Libreville may be the most accessible Schengen application point for Gabonese citizens. Croatia is a beautiful Adriatic destination rapidly growing in tourism.

How to Get There

From Libreville (LBV) to Zagreb (ZAG) or Split (SPU) via Paris (CDG) on Air France and Croatia Airlines, or via Frankfurt (FRA) on Lufthansa and Croatian Airlines. Total journey is approximately 10 to 14 hours.

Money & Banking

Croatia uses the Euro (EUR) since 2023. Cards are widely accepted in tourist areas. Budget 70 to 120 EUR per day. Cash is useful in smaller coastal towns. ATMs are available throughout the country.

Practical Tips

Croatia's Adriatic coast (Split, Dubrovnik) is most popular June through August. Book accommodation early for summer travel. The Schengen visa allows travel to all 27 member states. Entry into Croatia from Italy by ferry is popular during summer.
