When choosing a holiday destination, most of us dream of sunny beaches, relaxation and quality time with family. But one of the most important ingredients of a truly successful vacation is a sense of safety – especially for families with children.
Today’s travellers increasingly value destinations where they can move around freely, without worry – places with accessible healthcare, low incident rates and welcoming local communities. Safety isn’t just about the absence of crime – it’s about social stability, reliable emergency services, respectful traffic culture and well-organized tourism infrastructure.
When planning a family getaway, we seek more than just sun and sea – we want a place where we can feel protected, truly relax, and make lasting memories. Croatia, especially regions like Zadar and Petrčane, offers exactly that. Parents can rest assured that their children, belongings and health are in safe hands.
Croatia – A Country of Safety and Trust
Croatia proudly ranks among the safest countries in the world. According to the Global Peace Index, it holds 15th place out of 163 countries, with a score of 1.504 – significantly better than the global average (a lower score indicates a higher level of peace and safety). This means that Croatia is not only safe in global terms, but is continuously improving in areas such as political stability, low crime rates, and care for both residents and visitors.
Croatia – Europe’s Safest Country for Night Walks
According to recent research by World of Statistics, Croatia has once again been ranked the safest country in Europe for walking alone at night. The survey covered 41 European countries and took into account crime rates, street lighting and the presence of safety services.
This recognition confirms Croatia as a perfect setting for peaceful evening strolls, where every step is accompanied by a feeling of ease and freedom. Whether you’re walking among the pine trees, listening to the sound of the sea, or simply enjoying the quiet of the night – night walks here are not just a treat for the body, but food for the soul.
Each evening becomes a gentle summer romance – filled with peace, warmth and unforgettable moments that linger long after the holiday ends.
Croatia’s Safety – Key Facts and Figures
Croatia is widely recognized for its high level of safety, supported by global security indicators:
One of the lowest rates of violent crime in Europe
Visible and active police presence in public areas
Extremely low to non-existent terrorist risk
Stable political system and EU/NATO membership
24/7 availability of emergency services
Strict safety standards in cities and tourist zones
Regular maintenance and supervision of public spaces
Special care for tourist safety through proactive measures and public information campaigns
In short, Croatia offers a high level of safety that supports a carefree lifestyle for both residents and tourists alike.

Zadar – The Peaceful Heart of the Adriatic

This year, Hotel Pinija welcomes its guests in a modern lobby that combines elegance, functionality and a Mediterranean atmosphere.

The new lobby is dominated by a Mediterranean spirit, permeated with light and the scent of pine trees. Special attention has been paid to comfort for families with children, couples, and individual guests.
