Tips for your trip to Croatia

To make your experience comfortable from day one, consider these practical tips before traveling from Barcelona:

• Climate and luggage: Croatia has a Mediterranean climate along the coast and a continental climate inland. In summer, pack light clothing, a swimsuit, and comfortable footwear. If you visit inland areas or during low season, bring a light jacket.
• Currency and payments: The official currency is the euro (€) since 2023, so you won’t need to exchange currency. Cards are accepted in most shops, although in rural areas it can be helpful to carry some cash.
• Internal transport: The main cities are connected by bus and train. To explore the coast, you can use ferries, rent a car, or book excursions. In the cities, walking or renting a bike is an excellent option.
• Plugs and voltage: The plugs are of type C/F, the same as in Spain, with a voltage of 230 V. You won’t need an adapter.
• Local customs: The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. Respect for the environment and historical areas is valued. In restaurants, it is common to leave a tip of 5–10% if the service has been good.
• Safety and health: Croatia is a safe country with a good healthcare system. With the European Health Insurance Card, you can access medical assistance if needed.
