I am going on the Discover Italy and Croatia holiday on the 9th June. I'm aware that for Italy I will require Euro's but I am getting conflicting information from my bank and friends who have been to Croatia as to what currency I need for there. The bank have told me I can use Euro's but friends who have visited recently used Croatian Kuna and actually found the Euro was not accepted in some places they visited. I'm hoping you may be able to help clarify the situation.

Many thanks

Mike

The official currency of Croatia is the Kuna - despite joining the EU last year, Croatia has NOT adopted the Euro as their currency. You may find that you are able to pay for some items in Euros, but as it is not their official currency no business is required to accept them.

Kindest regards,

When i went on the Istrian Coast tour, they were certainly not enthusiastic about joining the euro! You can pay for some things in euros but in the smaller places they only take kuna.

Euros are accepted at some large places and not a problem at the airport (was in Slovenia last week but flew into Zagreb, Croatia).

However cafes, shops, bars, etc will require Kuna.

Careful not to take too many lots of things are cheaper thante UK.

Thanks Julia,

It looks like I had better get some Kuna as well to be on the safe side.

I have got Kuna for use in Croatia and Euros for Italy.
