- How much does it cost to live in Croatia? Is Croatia cheap or is it expensive? In this travel vlog, I take you around the capital city of Zagreb to show you the cost of common items like food, transportation, gyms, entertainment, cell phone plans and more. I provide the prices in Kuna and US Dollar conversion for all items in this video.
Drop a comment and let me know what you think about the prices in Croatia - do you find them cheap, or expensive? I'd be curious to know :)

ABOUT ME:
Thanks for stopping by! I'm Olivia, an American of Croatian descent that traded the USA for the Mediterranean lifestyle. After living in Croatia for nearly 7 years and giving countless travel advice to friends wanting to visit, I started sharing all of the best tips on my blog www.inspiredbycroatia.com. After a year of blogging, I decided to create this channel to create fun and informative videos about life and travel in Croatia!

Excellent Style of Presenting my Croatia. Bravissimo Olivia 🏆🌴
I hope to visit and live in Croatia 🇭🇷 💕. Incredible, attractive and inspiring country. Unique and great culture 🇭🇷. Stunning nature. Genial and nice people 🇭🇷.
I’d love to see apartment cost video! 🙏🏼 I just got back from Croatia last week. We were in Zagreb and Zagorje most of the time with family but did manage to make it to see Dubrovnik. I am really missing the coffee, it doesn’t compare to American coffee… and gemišt with the family. 🤪
The coffee in Croatia cannot be beat! Hope you had an amazing time visiting family 😊 glad to hear you’d be interested in an apartment cost video, it’s definitely something I’d like to share.
you can find nice apartment in this 8:06 area for like 600€ + 150€ utilities /month
quite simple from a local : its pretty much expensive if you don't own your house and have a average paying job ( more or less )
its pretty cheap if you got a nice income from local or outside source
Very informative, thank you!!
Awesome! Glad you liked it 😊
Great video👍beautiful Zagreb😍
Nice vlog.. Croatia full of Life.. Beautiful country
Really ?
Would love to hear more about apartment rentals and possibly the price of condominium or homes. Thank you. Your cost-of-living video was great.
Love your video 📹 i Love CROATIA 🇭🇷 me and my wife have two apartments in Zagreb and a house in Pag we live in Florida but CROATIA is going to be our retirement place.
That’s amazing! Hope you can come to Croatia soon ☺️ I still need to check out Pag Island - the landscape there looks incredible
That was a pretty awesome video thank you so much. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷👍👍👍
Nicely presented.
That is extremely expensive since Croatia minimum wage is less than €500 monthly ! How could they afford such expensive items to buy
Because we mostly cook our own food and we rarely eat at the restaurants. And minimum wage is 612 euro.
Well, the country lives on tourism. Also croats live a humble life and yes it is expensive but nobody says anything, just picks same politicians over and over.
we are magicians :D greetings from Cro...
only immigrants and students work for that money.🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Minimum wage in Croatia is 550E ($620) total net of taxes with social security (pension plan) and universal healthcare included.
And you can live with that money just fine outside of Zagreb and coastal places which are tourist ridden.
And in Zagreb - almost noone receives that. Average net pay in Zagreb is 1250E / mo. And you can have good 2 bdr aparment for 600-800E / mo, utilities included. If there is 2 of you (roommate, partner) - thats under 30% for living expence...
Love your vlog
Great video! I visited Croatia for the first time this sept and fell completely in love w it! I’m also thinking of ways I could live there even just for a few months. Could you do a video as to why you choose to relocate there? 😃
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this video. I can make one talking about why I chose to relocate here - great idea :)
good information video.. 👍️
Of course Croatia can be a paradise if you have a good income just like everywhere else
As Croat who lived abroad, Croatia is paradise. I even think that we are too cheap. Compared to what You get.
@@drazenborsi523 Dubrovnik is way overpriced
Thank you for the information
awesome dear😍
Hi Olivia, what an interesting vlog by you. Thank you. I have also read your recent articles on cost of living in Zagreb. Can you please make vlog about the cost of school education? I am planning to move to zagreb, croatia for a year with two kids and wondering about their education. Any thoughts and suggestions for this
great video. How about Rent? especially in the capital city
Hi, I just subscribed. Would love to know how much apartments cost. I will be moving to Croatia in a couple years from the States 🤓
subscriber number 841 present btw nice video
Weeeeellllll, we need a little update on this one. Since a lot of things has happened in the meantime, SOME of the prices have drastically gone up... If you know where to look, you will find places that still offer great service at the same price as before.
For example, let's look at the price of pizza, the regular size, not the jumbo, nor small. Looking back, I remember when they were usually around 30-35 kuna (4 - 4,5 €, let's say 10-15 or so years ago), then they've gone up to 40-45 kuna (5,5 - 6€, 4 years ago), and the latest you will usually pay is around 10 €. Sometimes it may be even more. Looking at the delivery apps, pizzas come at 7€, BUT then in the menu you need to check the regular (some call it large) size pizza, which drives the price to something like 8,5 €. Those are still among the cheapear ones.
I just found your video in April 2023. How have the prices changed since you made this?
Wery nice, sehr gut Video
Nicevideo ❤❤❤💕
Men’s haircut where I live in the USA, in the city is $35 plus tip. So outta control. Coffee is $4-5 plus tip.
Hi i like Croatia and your video so intrested you should make more videos
Hi im from india, lookin to visit zagreb hiow much a travel guide would cost n how can i get one..?
Thanks for this usefull video, it just could be a bit more complete with more variety in the price's items you showed ; for example, price of a cab / taxi / uber in Zagreb (for nightlife), 1kg of beef meat, 1 kg of chicken meat, 1 liter of water, may be it would be usefull to have some link for online shopping in order to make a shopping cart as if we were living there ?
Please make video on grocery shopping. In supermarkets
I have one in the works!
Nice video. Did you speak Croatian before you moved there? BTW, Heinens is still overpriced!
Your presentation is very nice🌹
Are you a citizen of Croatia?
very good
Zagreb is cheap enough, but along the Dalmatian coast like Zadar prices have jumped considerably since joining the euro in January. Dubrovnik is incredibly expensive, beautiful city but a complete tourist trap and ruined with mass tourism. Loads of locals complaining they can't socialise in their own city because of the ridiculous prices.
The one thing that all travel video miss or avoid is Taxes. Europe usually has out ragous VAT taxes. What is Croatias? Is it on food too?
I don't know about everyone but I've seen that if you go there as a digital nomad you won't be paying any income tax
Hello i love your video, but I really appreciate, if you can make a video about price of month payment of flat in croatia. Nothing difficult just a flat
I’ll try my best to put something together!
Very good video. I like to know about communication there. Is it easy to get by if you just speak English?
yes.
majority of people speak english.
especially younger people. older people might not speak it but they might understand what you are saying.
depending where you are in croatia, people might also speak italian and german.
and you can always use google translate if you are in totally hopeless situation
but in general, yes, people speak english because we are tourist country.
Thanks,loren
Nice
30 dollars is so expensive for 30 gb...here in my country... I got 100 gb more for less than 10 dollars..btw is a phone expensive in croatia?
❤😊
thanks a lot
If you have international salary (working remotely), nice place to live...
Yes Yes zagreb jako skupo
The question should be: How much fuel can the average monthly salary from the country you live/reside in get you in croatia? And how much fuel can the average croatian monthly salary get you in croatia?
You might not even need a car so why bother with that question. It depends which city you choose and will you live on outskirts or neaeby the centre. Also, will you live in outskirts which are still heavily connected with different public transportation plans. Because we have good public transport.
I want to vist it next summer, is English spoken in Croatia??
Yes lots of people speak English in Croatia.
99% people speaks English very good. We have to, we are tourist country.
Only if we are payed to do so...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Its not alot if you have EU incomes but if you have croatian then it is
Hello!
Which languages are the most important for working as tour-guide,translator and teacher in Croatia?
How much does it cost the least salaries in Croatia?
Could you please explain me?
English language cause most of locals speaks it very good. And lowest salary is cca 400Euro,but that's not usual salary. Usual is about 800-1000Euro.
Chinese
Coming in 2 months in sha Allah to your country, I am a Bangladeshi, love to travel. In the next comment I will tell you about my corotia location, I hope you will give me a call and see you..
And how is your croatian since as i underatood you are living in my city?
I would like to buy you a coffee 😀
Roughly a half of US pricing?
we are now converted into euros as official currency. so everything went up except our salaries
rent? house price?
Prices jumped drastically in last couple of years.
Average monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment: approximately €530 to €930
Average price per square meter for buying a property: approximately €1,060 to €1,990
It all depends on the location, this is just a rough estimate.
you could find places that are much cheaper or much more expensive
as you can see, average rent for one bed room apartment is around the same as average monthly salary
Hi I am coming
Hey....do u have any idea about how go get work permit / PR in Croatia ...!!!!
Nice you
Also 20th sub and are from croatia or?
I want to come croatia for working.how was it?
First get a shengen visa. If you get that no problemo. Minimum wage is around 620 euro if you work on a student visa than it can be less, because your not alowed to work full time. Wellcome to
EU.
❤️🇳🇵🇳🇵
Vedio

I Like you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Opps .. 😂
hi
Hiii
Croatia === Utopia ... besides it is Luka Modric Country !!!
10$ for a pizza in Zagreb is insane, that’s what that pizza would cost in NYC!
She looks like ava Addams 😎
Young one.
Your momma looks like her, too.
You nic
Can someone give me a visa to Croatia? I am ready to work no matter what. The salary is good I'm boy . I'm from india
Yes, croatian foreign minister can give you a visa. No joking, now it's pretty easy to come to Cro for work considering how it was before. Croatia inviting foreign citizens to work here cause lot of our people went abroad for a better job in EU. Lot of people from India and Nepal (other countries too) came here for a job. Fifteen Indi's people work in my friends firm, and as he said they are happy with job and salary and want to stay. I don't know about Visa expire, but he said they came year ago, first in Zagreb and before few months part of them came here(Split) to his firm. Apart of that, i see a lot people from India and Nepal in the city on the streets. That wasn't case few years ago, and you can see the difference easily. Looks like number of them is getting bigger every month so i guess that they like to live here.
No
First you get a job than you can get visa. Otherwise wEurope would be overrunned with immigrants and would become like India.🤣🤣🤣
Olivia Loren💝👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👍
I like u
Very good video your I like you
😘 You are so sweet babe 💛
What about english education?
Children start learning English and German nowadays in age 6 and in University use it for studies at advanced level, being able to read original literature without translation.
Who is your targeted auditory? IFun vid but really useless for both tourists and people with intention to stay in Croatia for a long time. As a tourist I'd care more about hotels, AB&B, transportation, local scenery and entertainment cost then potato or pizza price. Long term rental, work, minimal wage etc. Grocery is important but in my experience it is about same through whole Europe. Few $ or few $ more doesn't make much difference for short stay and people staying for a long time obviously find shops based on personal preferences and budget.
Thanks for your comment Lara :) Right at the beginning of the video I said that my intention was to give viewers a general idea of what common items cost here (including entertainment and transportation which are both mentioned in the video). This video is not as relevant to tourists as it is to digital nomads, for example, who are looking to stay in Croatia for a longer period of time.
I need job...
Go to Iceland!
Come to Canada 🇨🇦
GOOD LUCK 👍
Everybody does.🤣🤣🤣
Lots of places take credit cards but minimum charge is 200 kuna. Its not worth the husstle for bussiness owners for less.
It's not true, any amount is possible to pay with card. I used to pay tram tickets with card, like 4 kunas.
