Question

What COVID travel considerations should I keep in mind?

Answer

Effective January 26, the CDC will require all air passengers entering the United States to present a negative COVID-19 test, taken within 24 hrs of departure or proof of recovery from the virus within the last 90 days​. Airlines must confirm the negative test result or proof of recovery for all passengers two years of age and over prior to boarding. ​Airlines must deny boarding of passengers who do not provide documentation of a negative test or recovery. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel.html Remember to bring your COVID Vaccination card with you during your travels. You will need it (or a negative test result) in order to access most European tourist attractions (especially in Italy!!).

Question

Are there ubers in Croatia?

Answer

Question

What currency should I use?

Answer

If you would like to pay with a card, we recommend utilizing a credit card with zero international fees (such as the Saphire Reserve). For cash, you can use Kuna ( croatian currency ) or Euro. We suggest taking some cash out in Euro or Kuna at a bank in the US prior to arriving in Croatia - preferably not at the airport. There are a multitude of ATMs throughout Croatia, but depending on your debit card, may incur higher exchange fees. $1 = around 6 Kuna $1 = around 0.8 Euro Tip: When you’re making a purchase with your card, if you’re asked whether you want to pay in US dollars or kuna, always pay in the local currency. You’ll lose out on the exchange rate otherwise.

Question

Do I need an adapter to use my electronics in Croatia?

Answer

Yes. Croatia uses a different outlet type to the US, so American travelers will need to purchase an appropriate travel adapter to charge their electronics. Look for a power adapter with the twin round prongs, which is the Euro standard. Alternatively, any adapter labeled “Type A/B to Type C/F” will be fine.
