Emergency Numbers & Police
In Croatia, the emergency number equivalent to 911 in the United States is 112. This number can be dialed for immediate assistance from police, fire, or medical services. It's important to note that in Dubrovnik, you might not see many police officers on patrol. If you encounter a situation requiring police assistance, you may need to visit the local police station directly, which is located at Ul. Vladimira Nazora 32, 20000, Dubrovnik. Hotels and restaurants can also assist in contacting the necessary authorities for help.
For medical concerns, while my personal experience with local medical services is limited, expatriates often recommend Marin Med Dubrovnik for medical needs ranging from minor ailments to more urgent care like stitches. Be aware that Marin Med is a private hospital, so services will be charged accordingly. It's conveniently located near the old town, making it accessible for tourists staying in that area. However, if you are not near the hospital and need urgent medical attention, calling the emergency number is crucial as ambulances are available to provide quick transport to medical facilities.
