Internet in Croatia: everything you need to know
Croatia shows an internet penetration of around 84% and a solid mobile footprint along the Dalmatian coast and inland (source: ITU DataHub, 2024). An EU member since 2013 and in the Schengen Area since 2023, Croatia fully benefits from EU roaming at domestic rates. 4G LTE covers the entire coastline and 5G is rolling out in Zagreb, Split and Dubrovnik. A Croatia eSIM stays relevant for non-EU travelers.
- ●4G/5G coverage across every major city (Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, Dubrovnik, Zadar) and most Dalmatian islands (Hvar, Brač, Korčula, Vis).
- ●Average mobile download speeds around 60 to 80 Mbps per Ookla (Q1 2025).
- ●For EU/EEA travelers, roaming is charged at the domestic rate (RLAH); a dedicated eSIM stays useful for non-EU travelers (UK, Switzerland, US).
- ●Perfect for Bolt, Uber, Google Maps, Jadrolinija (Adriatic ferries) and booking apps.

Can I use my EU plan in Croatia?
Yes, EU roaming is included at domestic rates for EU subscribers. Croatia has been an EU member since 2013. A dedicated eSIM stays useful for non-EU travelers.
What's the best eSIM for Dubrovnik or Split?
Both cities have solid 4G/5G coverage. For a short trip (≤ 7 days) a 3 to 5 GB plan is enough. For 2 weeks with heavy use (maps, ferries, photos), target 10 GB.
