Using your card

๐Ÿ’ณ Do I need cash in Croatia, or can I use my card everywhere?

Card payments are very widely accepted in Croatia, but especially outside the big cities it's a good idea to take come cash as a backup.

๐Ÿ’ฐ What currency do they use here?

The currency here is Euro

๐Ÿง Which ATMโ€™s can I use for free?

The bunq community has reported free withdrawals at these ATMs.

  • Erste Bank
  • IKB (Istarska Kreditna Banka)
  • PBZ (Privredna Banka Zagreb)
  • Sberbank
  • Splitska Banka

๐Ÿ’ต If I want cash, how much should I take out of an ATM?

700 EUR should be enough for a few days.

Staying connected

๐Ÿ“ฑ Can I roam, or should I get a local SIM?

All EU mobile plans should let you roam for free.

If you don't have an EU plan, you can learn about your local SIM card options here.


Useful things to know

๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ How does tipping work?

Usually the tip is included in the bill, so there's no need to tip on top.

If you recieve great service, rounding up or adding 10% would be appropriate to show your appreciation.

โ‚ฌ2,00

๐Ÿฝ How much does an average meal cost?

๐Ÿšจ Whatโ€™s the emergency number?

112

This one! Itโ€™s the standard European plug.

๐Ÿš— What side of the road do they drive on?

They drive on the right side of the road here.

๐Ÿ—บ How do I navigate my way around?

Google and Apple Maps both work well in Croatia.

Otherwise, we recommend Rome2Rio as the best way to find out how to get anywhere. It even tells you the cost of each option. ๐Ÿ™Œ

๐Ÿ‘€ Any other good tips?

  • Try the seafood! Croatia seafood is world class, and extremely fresh from thr Adriatic sea. ๐ŸŸ
  • A good dish to try is Riblja Plata whch is a mixed seafood platter, usually for two people.
