Maps and navigation for getting around, curated for travelers visiting Croatia.
Google Maps is the best general map for Croatian addresses, walking, driving and business discovery.
Best general map for Croatian addresses, walking, driving and business discovery, with downloadable offline areas.
Official driver tool for live road, border and ferry-terminal conditions, cameras, fuel, tolls and roadside assistance.
Visitor-friendly card payment for supported street and garage parking across more than 90 Croatian cities.
Download the relevant coast, island and inland areas before travel, but remember that offline mode loses live traffic and disruption data. For urban ticket rules use the local operator, and for ferries use the company actually running the sailing. Drivers should add Croatia Traffic Info from HAK. It provides official road conditions, border and ferry-terminal reports, restrictions, live cameras, fuel information, toll estimates and roadside-assistance contact in Croatian, English, German and Italian.
Check it before a long coastal drive, a border crossing or travel in strong wind, fire or winter conditions. Bmove is the most practical parking app, supporting card payment in more than 90 Croatian cities. Select the zone shown on the physical sign, enter the rental plate exactly and review the end time and full charge. The app does not override resident spaces, maximum stays, event restrictions or a machine that requires a different method.
HAK also offers SMS parking, but foreign-number billing can be unreliable or expensive, making Bmove the better visitor option where supported. In old towns, vehicle access and app pickup points may sit outside the pedestrian core. Do not follow a map into restricted streets. Save the accommodation pin, official parking location and ferry pier separately, and keep a screenshot of the rental plate.
For hikes, use marked paths and current park or mountain-rescue advice rather than treating a general map line as proof of an open route.
