Currency and Cost for your Croatia holiday

Croatia joined the European Union in 2013 and as of January 1st 2023 the official currency of croatia has changed to Euro (€). 

Taking your 'home' currency (English Pounds or U.S. Dollars) to Croatia and changing it there will not result in any problems - all are easy to exchange for Euros in the country, although other currencies can of course be changed too.

You'll probably get the most competitive rates changing your money locally in a bank or in one of numerous Bureaux de Change dotted around towns.
