Current Travel Situation
Malaysia to Croatia: What You Need to Know
Croatia joined the Schengen Area on 1 January 2023 and now uses the Euro. It has become a major summer destination for Malaysian travelers drawn by the Adriatic coastline, Dubrovnik old city, and Game of Thrones filming locations.
Practical Tips
Zagreb Airport (ZAG) and Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) are the main international gateways. Halal food is limited outside Zagreb; self-catering apartments in coastal towns are a practical solution. Rent a car for exploring the Dalmatian coast and Plitvice Lakes National Park. Book Dubrovnik accommodation very early for summer travel.
