By Law, even if any pharmacy is closed for ever reason, ONE in every CITY is ALWAYS OPEN.
So you can get your medication any time of day.
Isnt € in Croatia?
@@SatansBaby1 Since this year it is
Do you have work permit visa ?
It´s so funny! I am a German planning to go to Croatia next week and almost all of the things you mention are basically just European habits and not specifically Croatian. And on the other side, these are also exactly the things I found surprising/new/weird/different when travelling the U.S. :D
I'm Croatian planning to visit Germany next month for the first time!
Hopefully you're enjoying your stay here since it's been one week already
Thats correct, its the same in the Netherlands.
I'm Portuguese and I was thinking exactly the same thing. These are normal things for us.
Same in Poland :)
European habits are actually very good. Here, in Finland 0% tips, unless you really want to tip. People do get paid decently, no matter what your occupation might be. Card payment is Ok, everywhere. I've lived in 11 countries, 10 of them being in Europe and in most places, I feel some sort of unity, as well similarity. I will visit Croatia next month - can't wait!
This sister in law is best. She is promoting country better then officials 😂😂😂 Thank you very much and wish you and you family puno zdravlja veselja i radosti. 😂😂
Thank you so much 😀 best wishes to you, too!

I ja kazem isto! :)
@Antun Šturlić ?
I'd say, most of these advices are applicable to most European countries :)
Nice. You can also here ask for wifi password in many coffie shops.
Exactly that! Majority of cafes do have free WiFi for all customers! One tip: very often you’ll find WiFi password written somewhere at the receipt!

I lived in Zagreb 3 decades agoin Dugi Dol.
Love Zagreb, Love Croatia
Thank you! :)
@@RoyalCroatianTours you're most welcome mam
Somehow i think you were close to your job since you have been sorounded with hospitals.....it is my city and i know where Dugi dol is...perhaps sir you will return to Zagreb...to be honest i dislike hospitals very much and western medicine. Fortunatly there is ayurvedic clinic in Zagreb and if I will need a medical treatment that is where I will go.Best wishes sir from Zagreb
@@zagrepcanin82 my life dream is to go back to Zagreb, see with my entire family and to show them where I studied ie Vuk Vrhovac Clinic in Dugi Dol.
Thanks for your kind invitation which motivates me go to Zagreb
@@dr.sepurikrishnamohanendoc5664 you are most welcome sir! If you,when you come back it let me know.I have very curious mind and I love to learn.If possible I would like to have tea or coffee and nice chat with you
Croatia is in the Schengen zone since january 1. 2023, so you can travel to Slovenia and Italy now without your passport!
I can't tell you how wonderful Crroatia really looks from the photos and videos that I've seen. I've never been to Croatia, and I never will be able to because I'm life support dependent. I can't even go overnight out of my house in Kentucky, so Croatia is just plane not happening. But I've taken it upon myself to begin the process of learning
Croatian. It's just something that I want to learn. So, that's what I'm going to do.! I was inspired by Luka Kovac who was a charactedr on the TV Show, ER. I LOVE that show. Luka Kovac is actually a croatian i actual life, and the person who played Luka Kovac moved to the U.S. in the late 90s and in the show, He moved to the U.S. because his family was killed when the building him and his family were living in was bombed. So I am GOING to learn Croatian, and who knows, maybe I'll meet a croatian one day, and I'll be able to speak to them in their language.
Best of luck! I am moving to the USA soon and if I will ever be in Kentucky you just might see a real Croat. Goran Visnjic was great and ER is a great show. Sretno sa hrvatskim jezikom :)
Come here ... most people barely survive from day to day in our country .... sadly people are delusional and do no research .. our country is a shithole
Idk how your croatian is going, but still želim Vam svu sreću. It’s just so weird hearing foreigners wanting to learn croatian, it’s crazy haha and flattering
Greetings from Croatia! I wish you all the best! Sretno!
Hey Peter! I hope everything is well with you and I hope you one day will be able to visit Croatia! I would love to meet you one day and speak Croatian with you! Sretno Petre!
Big welcome for Croaria from Hungary, Budapest🇭🇺🤝🇭🇷

Aww, you definitely should if you have the chance one day :)
come as soon as you can, you dont even know what you are missing 😘
@@matijaslat2100 Thanks .I will as soon as things settle down 🥰
You are welcome !!!!

I would recommend against leaving your passport in your hotel even when traveling within Croatia. In Croatia everyone is expected to carry personal identification with them, that is either the ID card for the EU citizens and the passport for everyone else. The chance that you'll actually be asked to show your ID is minuscule, but not non-existent, so to be on the safe side, just keep it on you in some obscure part of your backpack.
Better would be to leave the passport at the hotel and take with you photo copies of your passport. A passport is too valuable to lose due to scammers, thieves or accidents.
She dumb
@@PAGANZ.XPOZEDwhat if the police asks you? The police in Croatia can stop you and check your documents for any reason I am pretty sure.
"We are now still on the Kuna", love it, when you're talking here of "we". I aprreciate that.
:D I feel like a local I guess! haha
I love that too, for the sake of Croatia and Croatians I also hope they realize to keep it that way. Big, big mistake that we did when joining the euro and the EU.

@@petarticinovic2710 Petar, what do you mean exactly?
cell phone charging tip
you don't need a charger, just a matching USB cable
each apartment has a TV, and all these new TVs have a USB port (at least one)
you plug the cell phone into the TV and it is charged in a couple of hours (the TV must work to charge USB)
There's no rule about not being allowed to turn left on a double lane, but there's a rule that forbids crossing the full line. If there's a full line (as you drew it) - no turning left. If there's a dashed line, it's OK to turn. Many double lanes will be separated by a full line, but will be dashed at an intersection allowing you to turn.

If you are travelling in Croatia you are required by law to have some sort of identification on you at all times. For us Croatians and other europeans , it's our ID card. For people coming from non EU countries it is their passport.
SO true. Last time I checked it was 700kn fine if police stopped you and ask for your ID and you didn't have it with you.
@@debelix what a fuck, fascists
@@MostIntelligentMan Excuse Me!?
Yesh and if you're an immigrant worker in Croatia you'll have to make a police card/permit. With the card you won't have to carry the passport. It's basically works as a passport .
@@debelix ye that's fascism ... demanding id from somebody who is not suspected of committing any crime and just minding their own business ... it is pretty authoritharian and fascist and also against our constitution .
I loved my time in Zadar. You're advice reflects my own experience in beautiful Croatia 🇭🇷
♥️
I live in Croatia my whole life but trough this video I have learned about differences that we have and I wasn't aware of..Like coffe, water that I take for granted, driving difference etc. Thank you for this inviting video you made for our tourists...I hope they will have a great time here 😊
Hi I am an Indian have any job in Croatia
@@mirzairshadbaig2136 lately I've seen some people from Philippines comming..mostly doing delivery
I love your videos. This one is sooo useful and interesting even for Croatians😊
Thank you Zeljka! 😃
I'll be travelling to Croatia shortly, so this has been really helpful advice! Thanks
Glad you found it helpful! :)
Most of the things you list - driving, electrical equipment, tipping, driving, emergency numbersm cafe culture, tap water etc - are basically valid for all of Europe.
I am living in Croatia and this is so strange to watch because this are things that I see and use every day
:D

This is so informative. Thank you miss. In 2018, Croatia opened its door for foreign expats from our country and I got a lot of job offers from Croatia.
I’m Croatian and listening you first few seconds where you were introducing my country make me literally tear up! I like your energy 🙂 warmest regards from uk 🇬🇧❤️
This was a very helpful and informative video. Thank you.
The first tip was so damn helpful. I hope to visit Croatia soon. Your city Dubrovnik featured in a game that I play and since them I've been planning to explore it
Which game ?
Absolutely love your video. I’ve learnt a lot about the Croatian culture. Thank you!
I was in Dubrovnik, it's one of my best destinations i've been!! Btw great video lady!!
Thank you!! 😊
What makes it a great destination for you? Im planning on a trip to Croatia
Divno Saro, kako Vi to sve objasnite lijepo i sa prijevodom. Volim Vas kanal, super ste ! Ali dodjite nam i u Jajce, BiH, lijepi, turisticki grad.
Ja moram reci da je nas narod, u Hrvatskoj, Bosni, puno topliji, otvoreniji za razgovor i druzenje, nego recimo u Njemackoj i tim zapadnim zemljama. Veliki pozz! ❤️❤️❤️
Hvala Martina!! Veliki pozdrav iz Zagreba!

Puno hvala!
Thanks 👏👏 i am In love with Croatia ❤️
For the voltage adapters thing, you could also look into step-up/down converters instead of adapters, they're bigger and bulkier, but can handle the conversion much better. Just keep in mind they have max ratings, and they cost quite a bit more, so their value really depends on what you're looking to use them with. (Also do your research, don't cheap out on them)
Great content. A lot of very useful tidbits were packed into one presentation. I have also watched your more current video. Thanks
great videos, love them very much.. thank you for helping our friends from abroad to manage here in not-so-easy-to-mange-country
Our pleasure! :)
Croatia is definitely a must-see for everyone. It's such a beautiful country and the people are equally as beautiful and kind.
This was extremely helpful.
Uživam u tvojim videima. Hvala što tako lijepo govoriš o našoj zemlji 😊
Many, many years ago, visited Postojna Pecina, Plitvice, Shibenik, Dubrovnik etc. Great memories.
Postojna is in Slovenia
Thanks for all the information! Really nice video :)
My pleasure!
SIngle-phase wall outlet voltage in Croatia is 230V AC with frequency of 50Hz while North American is 120V with frequency of 60Hz. Important to know if some devices are frequency dependent such as some radio alarm clocks which counting is propelled by frequency cycle. However the most today's laptop and mobile device power supply units are rated for multi voltage 100 - 240 Vac 50/60Hz and plain plug adapter US to EU would be just fine.
Helpful, thanks!
Nice tips!!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the travel tips!
Hi, just to add about the money , from someone who’s been going to Croatia for well over 20 years and lived there for 2 years, bring lots of your own currency (cash) and change at the local exchange office which are usually signed in various languages but in Croatian it’s called “mjenjačnica” and also if you’re in a tourist area and there are numerous “mjenjačnica”, walk between them and check the exchange rate because it does vary from one to another and can make a huge difference if you’re exchanging a family’s quantity. One more thing to be aware of, I never exchange any money to Croatian kuna (HRK) here in Uk because you get ripped off royally, as I’m typing this the exchange rate is about 8.7 kuna to the British pound, if I exchanged in the UK I would probably get between 6 and 7, maybe take enough to buy you a meal and a taxi just in case you arrive late at night. Also Croatia taking the Euro will not be a good thing, it will almost certainly make things more expensive than they already are, just look at other Mediterranean holiday destinations that already took the Euro
Good insight Mark! Thanks for the comment :)
I visit too, would you agree with me that it is going downhill unfortunately?
Is Croatia going down hill? Good question , I think it’s inevitable that as somewhere becomes more popular things change usually not for the good but I don’t think the actual country has been affected yet ( pollution and such like I mean) My biggest concern at the moment stemming from Croatia joining the EU is the introduction of the Euro and the Schengen zone, I think the last time I looked 1/5 of Croatia’s GDP comes from tourism and following the models of other EU Mediterranean countries that rely on tourism, it’s not good news. In Greece (actually on Rhodes or Rodos) a taxi driver told me prices on a lot of things doubled over night, if this happens in Croatia it will massively damage an industry that’s still very young . I have an apartment in the Seget Trogir area and already 0.5l pivo in the old town of Trogir is pushing 30kuna, that’s about £3.50 at today’s exchange rate which is more expensive than lots of places in the Uk, who knows what the new inflated costs will be, people will only pay a certain amount for food and drink before they feel they’re being ripped off and that will lead to families not going out to bars and restaurants at all and couples just nursing one drink and maybe a pizza in a “konobar “ and avoiding restaurants . There is already a growing problem with guests from certain ex communist countries who drive to Croatia for holidays and bring absolutely everything from home, they literally spend nothing in Croatia except the daily bread , this isn’t just my observation, my friend who works in a konobar experienced this all the time
@@Howiehow I visited two years ago, Zagreb-Rijeka, I didn’t see an6 development, farming, industry, tourism, and Understand that the young are leaving.....it was in June
@@RPlavo Yes the young are leaving and this is all over Croatia not just the north, Dalmacija is the same, (actually not as bad at the moment because of corona, people came home), mainly they went to either Germany or Ireland but it’s no surprise they are tempted by the salaries outside Croatia because at home they can only expect to make between 4000 and 8000 kn a month on average. This however isn’t unique to Croatia, the Uk and main countries in the EU are full of workers from Poland, Lithuania Slovakia, Czech Republic, Romania Bulgaria etc etc . It’s a problem that has made the news in Croatia and I know certainly in the central Dalmacija area the workforce was replaced by Macedonians and Bosnians.
But I think we’re getting off topic a little bit here when the original article was about how to advise people to enjoy Croatia and whilst it’s politically not perfect ( no where is) it’s still a fantastic place, in my opinion the best in Europe.
Im Croatian and I can agree, its BEAUTIFUL there. My family and I went to Split, Zagreb, The Coast, Lazina, Dubrovnik, and more.
Also in 2023 Croatia will be using Euros so stock up on those if you wanna visit
I've just binge watched most of your videos - it has brought back so many memories of Croatia and being with the grandparents. Watching your videos is like going on a mini holiday there (especially with travel being restricted currently, its nice to see and hear about the country despite not being able to visit there!!).
On a side note your Croatian is so good!
Aww, thank you for your kind words!
Great tips for Croatia that we haven't really seen like this before 😍
Thanks! 😃
There are usually some on duty pharmacies that work Sundays and night shifts.
In Zadar we have a 24 hour pharmacy.
Hey Sarah, I just discovered your channel and it's great 👌 In case some of you don't know, the reason why the coffee is served with a glass of water is because coffee has enzyms that help with removing the excess water from our system faster. So, drinking water with coffee is a good idea to stay hydrated ;)
Oh, so interesting! Thanks for the info Ida! :)
Heading in to Croatia next month. Perfect video to help us on our travels. just subscribed to your channel.

Hello greetings from the royal prince
I think this is a great video for non-european/American people, I just came randomly across it because I'm driving to Croatia from Germany tommorow(I live in Germany but I am actually from Croatia).
I agree with most of the things you say, but as an European I have to mention a thing you said about Driving.
Yes, it is forbiden to go through a red light in any situation, but you were wrong about the turning left over a double lane. So actually it deppends on the street, there are normal lines with gaps between them, there are full lines and there are double full lines. But in some instances one side of the double full line (or even if it is a single full line) there is a part in an intersection where one side of the double full line is with gaps. That means that from that side where the gaps are you can actually cross the intersection. Same applies with a single full line, but in that case you are allowed to cross it from both sides.
I can imagine as a non-european it is confusing, but depending from city to city, or even country to country some people, when they see a foreign number plate will give you some space and understand that you might now know very well what you are doing. For instance in the Netherlands people will stop, even if they have the right of way, and let you do your thing if it is obvious you are lost/confused, but in other countries/cities people will try to drive under your car if it means they will get to their destination faster :D
Thanks,Sarah for this videos,im from Croatia 🇭🇷,and its beatiful country..:)
Sara, you know the rules in croatia better than many who live there, all the Best!
You can add a subject on security-I was surprised to see an American coming to Croatia being on edge expecting to get robbed anytime-of course you have to be carefull,we are not saints 🤣, but in general you are safe walking around almost anywhere and anytime. Well,exception can be a large football match or a obviously sus bar,but then usualy you know where you came to 😁

Great recommendations and the comparisons to The North America continent, that is the third-largest continent in the world, covering an area of 24.5 million square kilometers. It comprises 23 countries, as well as dependencies, ranging from the Arctic Circle in the north to the Panama Canal in the south. Now I know that driving limits are the same in this whole continent.
