The official currency in Croatia is the Kuna (1 kuna = 100 lipa). With Croatia's entrance to the EU, many Croatian businesses are beginning to express their prices in Euros and Kuna, though Euros are not yet widely accepted. Foreign currency can be exchanged at post offices, banks, and exchange offices. Numerous hotels and travel agencies also will exchange currency, but beware of the service charges, which can be as high as 3%. To convert prices, go to www.xe.com/ucc. Credit cards (Eurocard / Mastercard, Visa, American Express and Diners) are accepted in almost all hotels, marinas, restaurants, shops and cash machines. ATMs The easiest and best way to get cash in Croatia is from an ATM (automated teller machine, aka Bankomat in Croatia) which can be found in all larger towns, ports, bus and train stations. Health Hospitals and clinics are located in all larger towns and cities, while smaller centers have dispensaries and pharmacies only. Prior to travelling please check if your health care in Croatia would be covered by insurance or take the necessary steps in obtaining traveller's insurance.
