Is it profitable to cash and change money at the airport?
Generally, it is advisable to change or cash your money somewhere else, but doing this at an airport may not always be a bad option, it all depends on the airport.
How to pay in hotels, shops, restaurants, taxis?
Credit cards are widely supported everywhere, especially in tourist areas, but there’s a commission if you’re paying using a non-Croatian currency.

Dubrovnik is located in the southern part of Croatia. The best way to get there is to fly to Dubrovnik airport. There’s a good amount of flights to Dubrovnik from Zagreb each day. They take about 1 to 1.5 hours. You can also reach Dubrovnik by bus or car, but it takes a very long time, as you have to cover aboud 600km, and you have to pass through Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Diocletian’s Palace is an ancient Roman palace build in 4th century AD for Emperor Diocletian.

Travel insurance is not compulsory in Croatia, but it’s a good idea to have one. Insurance is issued for each tourist and eliminates the need to pay for medical expenses for emergency medical care. Many insurance also cover things like theft, loss of baggage or even emergency repatriation. Some things that are not covered by insurance in Croatia include extreme sports and other high-risk activities, alcohol abuse, natural disasters and things like epidemics or terrorist attacks. There are several types of insurances like single-trip insurance, annual multi-trip insurance and backpacker insurance. On the lower end, insurance may cost from 30 to 100 USD, but it greatly varies. Moreover, if you need a visa to get into Croatia, health insurance is mandatory.
To visit Croatia, there are no mandatory vaccination requirements, but some vaccines are recommended. These vaccines are: chickenpox, tetanus, flu, measles and polio. Infants between 6 and 11 months should especially get 1 dose of measles vaccine. If you’re planning on travelling in areas filled with wildlife, a rabbies vaccine is highly recommended. Moreover, people who have hepatitis should also have their shots before departing for Croatia.
Water and food standards in Croatia are very good. You should only worry about water if you’re in a very rural area, where water is gathered from unregulated wells. When travelling in rural areas, it is advised to have bottled water with you.
Insects and animals are common in Croatia, especially outside major cities. To avoid insect bites, you should try to cover yourself as much as possible and use insect repellent. In hotels or other places of accommodation, you should always make sure there is enough ventilation. DEET is a useful repellent against ticks and mosquitoes. Permethrin coated clothes are also useful for avoiding bites. If you do get bitten, try to avoid scratching the bites and you should apply hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion. If you do a lot of outdoor activites, you should regularly check your body for tics. Try to avoid any stray or wild animals you may encounter. If you get bit by any animal, you should instantly wash your wound and go to the doctor. If you wake in a room with a bat, also seek medical care immediately.
Healthcare in Croatia is very adequate, but it also depends on whether you stay in a private or a public hospital. Most public hospitals will provide you with quality services, but some hospitals can have a shortage of staff. Private hospitals always provide high quality services. Obviously, most of the hospital staff won’t speak foreign languages, so it may be hard to communicated if you end up in a hospital. Not all hospitals support credit cards, so cash can be useful.
Croatia is generally a safe country, but theft and other accidents can happen. Terrorism, for example, is rare today but is not an impossibility.
Do not take drinks from strangers and do not carry large amounts of money with you, do not display money and valuables, choose main roads and well-lit places.
The sun is very active at summer months, so you should definitely use sunscreen and drink enough water. On the other hand, during winter, you should be prepared for the cold conditions.
Wash your hands often.
Always be aware of what’s happening on public transport.
Earthquakes, floods and forest fires are the most common natural disasters in the country, so be aware of them.
Not all drugs are legal in Croatia.
If you have a disability it is recommended to stick to major cities or tourist destinations, as many places in Croatia don’t have accommodations for disabled people.

There aren’t that many train stations and trains aren’t very comfortable overall. The tickets are very cheap but it’s not very advisable to travel by trains as buses and other transport provide a far better service.

To Croatians, family is very important and this also applies to tourists and their children. Bringing your kids with you is certainly advised and well worth it, especially when kids under 9 get tons of discounts.
Summer is definitely the best time to travel with kids. All three summer months offer exciting festivals, activities and incredibly warm weather.
Most hotels have accommodations for children, although they might be limited. It can be said that most hotels are family-friendly but few are specifically designed to accommodate children. Kids under 3 can stay in hotels for free, while kids under 9 usually get a large discount. Restaurants usually have kid-friendly menus, which include meals like pizzas or pasta specifically made for children. On the other hand, many restaurants may not have cots or places to change diapers. Transportation may be difficult, as you have to bring either a stroller, a carrier or a seat for your children. Children under 5 are required to have a child seat if they travel by car.
Only the larger stores and supermarkets may have children’s products like diapers, baby formula or baby food. Pharmacies usually also have these products.
Some hotels offer a babysitting or a kid’s club service.
Croatia is a country with loyal attitude towards animals, but, as a tourist, having a pet can introduce some difficulties
1. Pet Microchip | Your pet must be microchipped with an ISO 11784/11785 pet microchip that consists of 15 digits. |
2. Vaccinations | Your pet must be vaccinated for rabies no sooner than 21 day before entering Croatia. |
3. Rabies Titer Test | Pets entering Croatia from a high-rabies country will need to have a rabies titer test. This takes time, in some cases even up to 3 months. If results are acceptable, your pet is allowed inside the country. |
4. Health Certificate | The following information only covers non-commercial pet importing. If entering Croatia from outside EU, within 10 days of travel you need to have a non-commercial EU health certificate. If entering Croatia from a country inside EU, your veterinarian only needs to update your EU Pet Passport. |
5. Ticks and Tapeworm Treatment | You pet must be treated to any internal and external parasites before entering Croatia; this must be reflected in the health certificate |
6. Entering by Air | When arriving at an airport, your pet must be in good health and not carry any diseases that are communicable to humans. If your pet is not in a good health, a veterinarian will treat it at your expense. |
7. Banned breeds | All bull terrier-type dogs and their crosses which do not have a pedigree issued by a Kennel Club in a country that is part of International Canine Organizations are banned from entering Croatia. |
8. Other Animals | All other animals like birds, invertebrates, reptiles, fish and other, are not required to be vaccinated. |
9. CITES | If your pet is not a common like a dog or a cat and especially if it’s a turtle or parrot, it is advisable to check that it is not protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). You will need to apply for additional permits if this is the case. |
10. Entering Croatia from Australia or Malaysia | If you’re entering from Australia or Malaysia, you must ensure that:
|
If your pet is not very big, you can transport your pet on public transport in a suitable carrier. Bigger animals are not allowed on most public transport, with the exception of ferries. In all cases, remember to carry the pet’s ID card and health certificate.
It is better to discuss this issue directly with the driver.
Hotels don’t accept pets very often, but in all cases, you must first inquire if you can bring your friend with you or not. Smaller pets are usually much more accepted than larger ones. Even if a hotel let’s you stay there with a pet, it doesn’t mean that there will be specific accommodations made for your pet.
If all of the above rules are followed, there will be no problems traveling with animals in Croatia.
Transporting animals long distances is a huge stress for them. Please consider this fact in order not to harm your little friend.
And if you cannot leave your pet under the supervision of the house, then take care of purchasing the most comfortable carrying and take with you enough medicines to solve the problems of the animal as soon as possible
It’s recommended to bring your pet to Croatia during the off-season (spring or autumn) because there are less people making it easier to navigate the country with your pet.
Driving in Croatia is usually a good experience. Highways between major cities are modern and safe, even if some of them are being worked on at the moment. More rural or coast roads can be more dangerous, because of their condition. Weather conditions and things like rock slides can affect traffic. Traffic jams are common in popular destinations, especially during the weekend. The biggest problem in Croatia is the drivers – they are aggressive and usually cause a lot accidents just because they’re not cautious. Some rules to remember: 1. Children under 12 are not allowed to sit in the front 2. Winter tires are required from November to March 3. Using a mobile phone without a hands free device is illegal 4. Vehicles entering a roundabout have right of way as do all forms of public transport and school buses
