Travelling to Višnjan
Arriving by car
Višnjan is well connected to the Croatian highway network via the so called "Istrian Y". If you come from the north you will get on the Y right after the Slowenian/Croatian border. After you pass the Mirna bridge take the first exit (labeled Višnjan) and you are there. Travelling by car is recommended for participants from Central, South, East and Southeast Europe.
Notice: Participants travelling via Italy will have just a few km of driving through Slovenia. Therefore we don't recommend using the highway between Italian/Slowenian border and Koper (vignette needed!) but using the free of charge normal road next to the highway! Follow the signs to Skofije, then Bertoki and then Koper. From there the normal free of charge road continues to the nearby Croatian border. If you need help with the route, please contact us at the email address given below.

Visa and passport information
Croatia is not yet part of the EU but has candidate status. Citizens of many countries can enter Croatia without visa, just with personal ID card or passport. We recommend however that you do check on the page of the Croatian Ministry of Foreign Affairs that you really don't need a visa. Click here.
In case you do need a visa, you can request that we send you an official invitation. Please send the request at least a couple of weeks before the meeting to the address given in the footer.
