Zadar is generally safe with rare violent crime, though pickpocketing and tourist-targeted theft rise in busy summer areas; remote uncleared land elsewhere in the county should be avoided.

4/10

Zadar faces high wildfire risk, drought, heatwaves, coastal flooding, strong winds and meaningful earthquake exposure; summer visitor pressure can complicate evacuation and response.
