Croatia address format & examples

How to write a Croatian address

Croatia is a beautiful Southeastern European country that sits along the Adriatic Sea. It's famous for its long beautiful coastline, its historic cities, and its fantastic food. It's no wonder you're curious about how to address a letter to Croatia. Luckily, you've come to the right place. Below, we'll give you some Croatian address examples, as well as tell you exactly how to write the address to a Croatian address.

Simply enter an address to format, standardize, and validate it faster than you can say “Oprostite.” Address formatting in Croatia isn't too hard and can be written out as follows:

  1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles for the region.
  2. Street name and building number - The street and the building name together without any separating punctuation.
  3. Postal code and City - In Croatia, the postal code goes on the same line as the city.
  4. Country - This is often shortened to HRV
