Our expert advice for planning your trip
- Transportation The public transport network is well developed in the main cities, but more limited in rural areas. Renting a car can be convenient to explore less accessible locations. Note that some roads are tolled.
- Language The official language is Croatian, but English is widely understood, especially in tourist areas. It might be helpful to learn some basic phrases like 'Hvala'for thank you and 'Dobar dan'for hello.
- Currency The official currency is the Croatian kuna. Credit cards are widely accepted in most businesses. It's advisable to have cash for small purchases and in rural areas.
- Climate The climate is Mediterranean along the coast with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Inland has a more continental climate with cold winters.
- Cuisine The cuisine varies by region with a Mediterranean influence on the coast and heartier dishes inland. Don't miss trying fresh seafood and traditional dishes like 'pašticada'.
- Outdoor clothing suitable for Croatian weather, including for summer heat and cooler evenings
- Comfortable walking shoes, essential for exploring historical cities and natural parks
- Solar protection, including sunscreen and a hat, crucial during summer months
- Insect repellent, especially useful in wooded regions and near lakes
- European standard power adapter and power bank to keep devices charged
- Swimsuit for enjoying the Adriatic coast and its beautiful beaches
- Sunglasses and beach towel
- Travel documents such as passport, travel insurance, and at least a copy of them
