Weather
Late April in Dubrovnik is spring, with average daytime highs around 17-19 C and night-time temperatures around 11-13 C. Rain showers are possible, with April typically seeing around 8-10 wet days; the sea is still cool at roughly 15-17 C. These are climatological averages rather than a forecast for 22-24 April 2027. Check the Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service or Meteoalarm close to travel.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Croatia is in the EU roaming zone, so EU/EEA mobile plans usually roam at domestic rates. 4G and 5G coverage is generally good in Dubrovnik and along the coast.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Old Town etiquette
Dubrovnik's Old Town is a living residential quarter as well as a visitor site. Keep noise low in the evening, avoid blocking narrow lanes with luggage, and dress modestly when entering churches and monasteries.
Currency and payments
Croatia uses the euro (EUR). Cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants and shops, but carry some cash for small cafes, kiosks and buses. Confirm prices in EUR and check card terminal currency conversion offers.
Tipping
A tip of around 10 percent is common in restaurants when service is not included. Round up taxi fares and leave small change for cafe staff. Check the bill for a service charge before adding a tip.
Water and swimming
Tap water in Dubrovnik is generally safe to drink. The sea is still cool in late April, around 15-17 C, so swimming is for the hardy; check local beach flags and conditions.
Getting around the Old Town
The Old Town is pedestrianised and built on stone streets with many stairs. Wear comfortable shoes, allow extra time for mobility needs, and use the Ploce or Pile gates for taxis and buses.
Local transport etiquette
Queue for buses and let passengers off first. Validate tickets where required and keep luggage clear of the aisles. Taxis should use the meter or a pre-agreed fare; ask before starting the journey.

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
What is EFCLIN and what happens at its annual congress?
EFCLIN is the European Federation of the Contact Lens Industry. Its annual congress brings together contact lens manufacturers, suppliers, clinicians and researchers for scientific sessions, regulatory updates and industry exchange. The 2027 edition runs in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
When and where is EFCLIN 2027?
EFCLIN 2027 is scheduled for 22-24 April 2027 at Valamar Lacroma Dubrovnik on the Babin Kuk peninsula in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Confirm the final timetable and room allocations on efclin.com before booking travel.
Who should attend EFCLIN 2027?
The congress is relevant for contact lens and IOL manufacturers, regulatory and quality professionals, optometrists and contact lens opticians, ophthalmologists, distributors, academics and suppliers of materials, machinery, packaging and metrology.
Is the congress open to clinicians as well as industry delegates?
EFCLIN congresses include clinical and scientific content alongside industry sessions, and the visitor profile includes eye-care professionals. Check the registration categories on efclin.com to confirm which tickets are open to clinicians, students and industry delegates.
How do I register for EFCLIN 2027 and what does it cost?
Registration is handled through efclin.com. Delegate fees, member-association rates and early-bird deadlines are published on the congress registration page and can change, so confirm the current rate directly with the EFCLIN secretariat rather than relying on third-party listings.
Can I exhibit or book a tabletop at EFCLIN 2027?
Exhibition and tabletop opportunities are managed by the EFCLIN secretariat. Check the efclin.com congress pages or contact the secretariat for current exhibitor packages, stand inclusions and availability. No exhibitor prices are reproduced here because they are set by the organiser.
Will sessions be in English?
The international EFCLIN congress programme is conducted in English. Confirm with the organiser if any session or social event uses another language.
Can I earn CPD or CE credits by attending?
EFCLIN and its partners may apply for CPD recognition with professional bodies. Check the congress page and your national optometry association for the credits recognised in your country, and keep your attendance certificate.
How do I travel to Dubrovnik for the congress?
Fly into Dubrovnik Airport (DBV), about 20-25 km from the city and 30-45 minutes by taxi or transfer to Babin Kuk. Airport shuttle buses also run to the city, with a local bus or taxi for the final leg. Split (SPU) and Tivat (TIV) are alternative airports but involve longer transfers.
What is the weather like in Dubrovnik in late April?
Late April is spring in Dubrovnik, with average daytime highs around 17-19 C, cooler evenings and a chance of rain showers. Bring layers and a light rain jacket, and check a local forecast close to travel.
Do I need a visa to attend EFCLIN 2027 in Croatia?
Croatia is in the Schengen area. EU/EEA citizens can travel with a national ID card or passport. Many other nationalities, including UK, US, Canadian and Australian passport holders, can enter visa-free for short business trips. Other nationalities need a Schengen short-stay visa. Check the Croatian Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs before booking.
Are there official congress hotels or hotel discounts?
EFCLIN may list partner hotels or negotiated rates on its travel page. Book early with a free-cancellation rate, because late April is shoulder season in Dubrovnik and room availability tightens as cruise traffic increases. Confirm any congress code directly with the hotel.
What is the dress code for the congress?
Business casual is typical for sessions and the exhibition. Bring comfortable shoes for Dubrovnik's stone streets and stairs, and a light layer for air-conditioned meeting rooms.
Who do I contact about accessibility or special requirements?
Contact the EFCLIN secretariat through efclin.com and the Valamar Lacroma Dubrovnik hotel directly for mobility, dietary or access requirements. Arrange any specific support well before the congress.
Glossary
- EFCLIN
- European Federation of the Contact Lens Industry, a sector federation whose members include national contact lens industry associations and companies. It organises the annual EFCLIN congress for industry, clinical and research delegates.
- Silicone hydrogel
- A soft contact lens material combining silicone with hydrogel components to achieve high oxygen permeability while retaining water content and comfort.
- Dk/t
- Oxygen transmissibility of a contact lens, calculated as oxygen permeability (Dk) divided by lens thickness (t). Higher values mean more oxygen reaches the cornea through the lens.
- RGP lens
- Rigid gas permeable lens, a rigid corneal lens made from oxygen-permeable polymer. Used for spherical, toric and irregular cornea corrections.
- Scleral lens
- A large-diameter rigid lens that vaults over the cornea and rests on the sclera, creating a fluid reservoir that protects the ocular surface. Fitted for irregular corneas, severe dry eye and high refractive errors.
- Orthokeratology (ortho-K)
- Overnight wear of specially designed rigid lenses to temporarily flatten the central cornea and reduce low-to-moderate myopia. Requires clinical monitoring and regular topography.
- IOL
- Intraocular lens implanted during cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange. Premium designs include toric lenses for astigmatism and multifocal or extended-depth-of-focus optics.
- Multi-purpose solution (MPS)
- A single care solution used to clean, rinse, disinfect and store soft contact lenses. Peroxide systems use a hydrogen peroxide-based disinfection step with a neutralising case.
- EU MDR
- Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on medical devices, the framework for CE marking, clinical evaluation and post-market surveillance of contact lenses and related products in Europe.
- ISO 13485
- International standard specifying quality management system requirements for medical device manufacturers and suppliers, widely used by contact lens and IOL producers.
- CE marking
- Conformity mark showing that a medical device meets applicable EU legislation and can be placed on the European Economic Area market.
- Keratometry
- Measurement of corneal curvature, used to select a contact lens base curve and to assess fitting relationships.
- Corneal topography
- A map of corneal curvature and elevation across the surface, used in specialty lens fitting, ortho-K and post-surgical assessment.
- Daily disposable
- A soft contact lens designed for single use and discarded after wear, removing the need for daily cleaning and storage solutions.
- Base curve
- The radius of curvature of the back surface of a contact lens, one of the main parameters used to match a lens to the cornea.
- Tear film
- The thin fluid layer covering the ocular surface. Its stability and volume affect contact lens comfort, wettability and ocular health.
- Presbyopia
- Age-related loss of near focusing ability, managed in contact lens practice with multifocal, extended-depth-of-focus or monovision designs.
