You’ll find Zagreb to be a warm and welcoming city with helpful locals, but when out in popular places, keep an eye on your belongings. It’s always a good idea to make sure you have your travel insurance organised.

In the unlikely event that your belongings are lost or stolen, or if you experience a crime, you can always contact the police by calling 192.
