General Tipping Guidelines

When visiting Croatia, tipping customs may differ from what you're used to. Here are some general guidelines to follow:

  • Check if a service charge is already included on your bill before tipping extra.
  • When in doubt, observe what locals do or ask your hotel concierge for advice.
  • Keep small bills and coins in the local currency handy for tipping situations.
  • For exceptional service, a small tip is almost universally appreciated even in non-tipping cultures.
  • Tip in local currency whenever possible — foreign coins and small bills are hard for staff to exchange.
