alan9945 Posted February 26, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 26, 2015 We are on Splendour of the Seas in June. Will there be a shuttle provided by the ship from the port to the town? If so what would be the likely cost? Thanks Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipLondon Posted February 26, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 26, 2015 There usually is a shuttle, but I cannot remember for sure the amount, I think $10, but that was a few years ago. Although a taxi could be cheaper overall if you get 4 people in a car, check that out first. I remember we took the shuttle to town but a taxi back.

yolanda1 Posted February 26, 2015 #3 Share Posted February 26, 2015 There is a taxi rank at the port. Some hold 6 people, and you can probably share for a few Euros each. I wouldn't use the shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelerThom Posted February 26, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 26, 2015 The #1 and #9 local buses run by the pier to Pile Gate of old town. Fare 15 Croatian Kuna (HRK) on the bus, or 12 HRK from a kiosk. That is about US$2 or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relaxlynn Posted February 26, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 26, 2015 In Fall 2013 the shuttle was $14 per person for unlimited rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croatia is in the EU, but has not met the criteria to join the Euro currency zone. There are a number of EU countries that do not use the Euro for a variety of reasons - the UK, Denmark and Sweden because they don't want to (Sweden promised years ago to join, but refuses to do the required paperwork), and Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic and Poland because they have not met the required debit and other parameters. Even though those countries are not officially on the Euro, many hotels etc quote prices in Euros, and Euros are widely accepted, but probably not by buses or government facilities. Montenegro is not in the EU, not in the Euro zone, but has no currency other than the Euro - no authority, they just do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani negreanu Posted February 26, 2015 #8 Share Posted February 26, 2015 We stood in line to take a taxi to the Wall. We knew it would be 10 Euro. A couple approached us and asked if we r willing to share... Of course !!! Only 5 Euro for the ride. When we finished the visit, went to the taxi stand, and... surprise...met again the other couple. Again, we travelled together, "halving" the cost. BTW, to visit the Wall you need KUNA!!! Thanks to CC, we came prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
