Here are some tips:
If you book a flight with a layover, please pay close attention to the layover times. While no one wants to sit around the airport for hours, you also don’t want to miss your layover because of a short connection. I suggest choosing a schedule that has at least 1.5 hours on the way to your destination. On your way home, I suggest at least 2 hours to give extra time to get through immigration.
Some airlines provide tickets that can be changed or canceled without a fee. This costs more upfront but can be helpful in the case of unforeseen circumstances.

The official languages of Croatia is Croatian.
Croatia’s currency is the euro (€). For extra expenses, you can withdraw cash from ATMs (they’ll handle the conversion) or use a credit card. Check with your bank about any foreign transaction fees. It’s always smart to carry a bit of cash for small cafés, markets, or local vendors.
Tipping isn’t mandatory in Croatia, but it’s appreciated for great service. Leaving 5–10% at restaurants, rounding up taxi fares, or adding a little extra for tour guides is considered polite.
You must use the checkout cart in the bottom right corner of the site to finalize checkout.
