The official currency of Croatia is the kuna - abbreviated to HRK; and 1 kuna is divided into 100 lipa.
The word ‘kuna’ is Croatian for marten – a weasel-like mammal; and was named as such because of the use of marten pelts as a form of payment in medieval trading. ‘Lipa’ means linden (lime) tree, traditionally planted around marketplaces in Croatia.
The kuna has been in use since 1994 and is issued by the Croatian National Bank. The Croatian Monetary Institute mints the coins, made up of various metals and alloys.
Whether you’re wandering the city walls of the old town, sunbathing on the Adriatic, or enjoying the local fare down a charming alley, it’s hard not to be inspired by Dubrovnik’s ancient charm.
Mljet Island
One of Croatia’s larger Adriatic islands, Mljet is a densely forested oasis. Arguably the most beautiful isle in the region, it boasts breath-taking inland salt lakes and an untouched quality rare to the area.
Split
A true mix of tradition and modernity, Split is a buzzing city packed with restaurants and bars set among ancient walls and the fortress-like Unesco World Heritage site, Diocletian’s Palace.
