How to Get There
From Croatia you can travel seamlessly to other Schengen countries. Coastal routes connect to Italy by ferry. EU dual citizens may use EU documents at border crossings.
Money & Banking
Croatia uses the euro since joining the Eurozone in 2023. Cards are accepted in tourist areas. Cash is still preferred in smaller towns. ATMs are widely available.
