How to visit?

By car: Majority of tourists come to Croatia by car, entering our country via Slovenia or Hungary. Waiting on borders can sometimes be a pain in the ass, but at least we have highways so you can drive safely and reach you destination. If going through Slovenia, be preparde to pay vignette (road tax). It costs 15 euros for a weekly vignette. In Croatia, you pay tolls too. From Zagreb to Split you’ll have to pay around 160 kunas (some 25 euros)
