naples queen Posted July 29, 2006 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Everyone advises not to get too many Kunas when arriving in Croatia as you will be stuck with whatever you don't use. My question is, how many would be necessary to have a nice lunch and perhaps a few beers for two people? Would the shops take credit cards for souvenier purchases or would you have to pay in Kunas?

Francine Posted July 29, 2006 #2 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Actually, they happily accepted Euros when we were there. That made it easier on us - we used Euros throughout Europe. Fran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_in_Colorado Posted July 29, 2006 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Actually, they happily accepted Euros when we were there. That made it easier on us - we used Euros throughout Europe. Fran That was our experience also. We did get some kunas for admission to the wall, and used the rest for lunch. We were running close to using them all for lunch, so I asked if they took euros before ordering a beer. No problem with the euros, so a beer it was! :D Also bought some souvenirs with euros.

luvz2run2000 Posted July 29, 2006 #5 Share Posted July 29, 2006 When we were there in May they took euros for the wall and shops. We also used our credit card for lunch and shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Cruisers Posted July 30, 2006 #8 Share Posted July 30, 2006 When we were there in the fall, the local bus from near the port to the old town of Dubrovnik only accepted kunas.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted July 30, 2006 #9 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Just wanted to reiterate what most everyone has said. We just used Euros and credit card. We took the complimentary bus from the pier to the downtown area. We paid Euros to entered the walled city. In stores, we used credit cards. Wasn't worth the cost to exchange money for the local currency and we had the euros since they were needed for the other ports that we visited.

csk47 Posted August 1, 2006 #10 Share Posted August 1, 2006 We are on the Millenium arrivng in early September. Do you walk from the pier to the old city? Is there a free shuttle and if so, is there a long wait? From the map I see a beach not far from the walled city. Is this a public beach and can you walk there?

Francine Posted August 1, 2006 #11 Share Posted August 1, 2006 csk47, When we were on Millie a couple of years ago, Celebrity provided a free shuttle bus service. They let us off just outside the Pile Gate. (I have heard that Celebrity is now charging for this service.) Fran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
