Cozy coves of Croatian resort towns
This country maintains a low pricing policy compared to other countries and resort areas of the western Adriatic and Mediterranean, which makes tours to Croatia, prices for accommodation and meals affordable for all categories of tourists.
Currency of Croatia
The local currency of the country is the Croatian kuna, introduced in 1994. By the end of the 1990s, the banking sectors of Croatia approached a crisis period, followed by the crash of 1998. Currently, the kuna is a reliable and stable national currency relative to the dollar. Its regulation is handled by the main national bank of Croatia, as well as the International Monetary Fund, which strictly regulates and monitors any activities of commercial banks.
The Croatian government conducts a deliberate revaluation of its own currency to achieve the result of accessible foreign currencies. Prices in hotels and inns are indicated in euros, which shows their stability. The domestic pricing policy for food, transport, and other services is not high.
The minimum budget needed when going on vacation in Croatia is about 40 dollars per day. This amount includes staying in private apartments and guest houses, food from the store, and a few nice extras.
The most optimal amount in terms of comfort, quality, and cost is a budget of about 80-100 dollars per day, which will allow you to enjoy most human needs of high quality.
Banking services in Croatia
There are no problems with currency exchange in Croatia. Money can be exchanged at a bank or at ATMs installed in every city. The exchange rate is almost the same. It is worth noting that currency exchange offices, unlike banks, charge a small commission for their services. Also keep in mind that you can only get hard currency at banks. Visa credit cards are not particularly popular in Croatia and are accepted in far from every bank in the country.
Tipping in Croatia
The tipping policy in Croatia favors symbolism rather than the amount of the bill. Tips for service in restaurants are rarely included in the bill. It is traditionally recommended to round up the payment according to the check. In Croatian bars, it is also customary to round up amounts. Tipping taxi drivers is not customary, but rounding up the fare is welcome. Do not forget about the service staff in the hotel and guides, who must be given tips.
Despite the low level of prices and tour costs, if you want to save even more money, or if your budget is extremely limited, you can try to find last-minute tours to Croatia. Such tours offer the same set of services and level of accommodation, but for less money, which you can always spend on yourself.
