Never Do This In Croatia 🇭🇷 5 Things You DON'T DO In Hrvatska
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 06. 2024
- In today's Croatia travel vlog, I discuss this topic: Never Do This In Croatia / Don't Do This in Hrvatska. Hrvatska is another name for Croatia in case you're wondering.
This is not a Croatia travel guide but a list of things not to do in Croatia. Most of the footage in this video is from Split Croatia, the island of Hvar and Dubrovnik Croatia. However, I spent most of my time in Split Croatia. I did have a couple Croatians help me come up with this list!
Croatia is one of the best places to visit in my opinion. You have beaches, cities, mountains, and lots of castles and old world charm. When you visit Croatia there are certain things that you probably shouldn't do. I got some input from my Croatia friends to make this list.
Never leave trash on the beach. Croatia is a beautiful country with amazing beaches. Croatians have done a really good job keeping their beaches very clean compared to many other places. There are public trash cans every where and they are are picked up regularly. There is no excuse for littering, when there is always a trashcan within walking distance at Croatian beaches.
Never talk about politics. There are lots of sensitive topics around the war with Serbia and the break up of Yugoslavia. Most families were impacted by the war in some way, so these are very personal subjects. It’s better not to get into these discussions.
Never forget to tip. I was so accustomed to not tipping in Asia that I didn’t tip at the first Croatian place I ate. I later learned that 10% is customary and you can bump that up to 15% for exceptional service. This is a great travel tip Croatia!
In most cases, never take the train in Croatia. Take the bus instead. Unlike a lot of Europe, Croatia’s train system isn’t the best. They don’t run very often. For instance there are only two train times to go from Zagreb to Split (or Dubrovnik Croatia). And they take a long time. The train ride from Zagreb to Split takes almost 6 hours when you can just drive it in 4 of even better take a 45 min flight that’ll only cost around $50 US dollars. But don’t fret - the busses are great!
Never call Croatia Yugoslavia or the former Yugoslavia. Similar to discussing politics, this is a sensitive subject. This would be like calling the US, the former England. Yes, we were a part of England before, but we are not the former England. Same thing. Croatia is Croatia….Yugoslavia was another country that doesn’t exist any longer.
I filmed this Croatia travel vlog sitting on the beautiful Adriatic Sea watching the sunrise.
Croatia full of magic, so travel Croatia and like this video!

Never go hiking in sandals!
Haha! That's a good one for almost anywhere! Thanks for watching and commenting!
?
We are looking at you Czech people. It's always you doing dumb things like this 😂
so true i went hiking with sandals and i fell 5 times
yeah give GSS some slack...90% of summer time they rescues people in sandals on hiking trails😂
Don't call sea an ocean. It's not an ocean, its a sea
Hmmmm...20 years in the Navy here..and I can tell you ...there is no difference between a sea or an ocean when you're out in a storm! :)
@@30AndAWakeUp Dalmatians are allergic on calling sea not sea...if you say tham that sea is water they re gonna kill you 😂

@@30AndAWakeUp I agree, this is a very important one! The relationship that the people living on the coast have with the Adriatic Sea is very special. Many songs were written about it...even our national anthem has a verse dedicated to it!
@@30AndAWakeUp yeah but that's only for people from Dalmatia, people from Zagreb and Slovenia also call it whatever sometimes even water
OMG! Croatia looks so charming. The beaches from the short shot looks so pristine. I definitely will visit Croatia in the future.
It is a pretty amazing place! Thank you for watching and commenting!
If you plan on going on a vacation there, you should definitely visit Mali Lošinj :)

You should go to capital city Zagreb!
To central train station and west of the city,you will be charmed!
@@peach_s0up Yes I go there every summer it's BEAUTIFUL!
Croatia is one of the most beautiful countries in the world!Something which everyone need to see. 😍 Greetings to my wonderful neighbors and all those who come there.With love from Serbia-Belgrade .❤️💋
It really is!
1. True
2. That's just manners
3. You don't have to tip, it's not mandatory. Tip only when you are satisfied with the waiter or service
4. The train system is bad, but it's a very nice sceenery to look for hours and hours.
5. True, it's basically like saying the N word, a big big no no
Thanks for the feedback! I definitely want to take the scenic train rides. I've heard it is really nice.
5. No shit
I think waiters already have included "tip" in your bill. If you tip additional, good for them.
Just kidding. This is difference to USA. Waiters across the Europe works for salary (not for tip). In the US, they are not paid (or paid very poor) for their work and you must tip.
So, tip in Europe is not obligatory.
@@gabrielplese7516
Actually, it is shit.
1. Logical. We all have some fanatics in every country.
2. Logical.
3. Fair enough.
4. Useful tip.
5. Didn't even know about it until you mentioned it 😂
Dont refuse Grandma's food 😂
Never!!!
That is 100 percent true.
Yesss 😂 don’t say no to baka
There is a joke: Did you know that chuck norris manage to convince his grandma that he is not hungry ? :)

@@30AndAWakeUp I think we can safely come to a conclusion now: definitely NOT a good idea to start talking politics in Croatia!
Totally agree, cleaning beaches, we were navigating in a yacht 🛥 found big amounts of trash carried from the ocean into little isolated beaches, we picked it up, more than 10 trash bags, called authorities and 3 days later they sent people to picked it up in boats and left the area clean! We were so happy 😁 making an impact with the support of authorities! 🤩🤩🤩
Yay! That's awesome.
❤️
Good job very well
You earned a good tip. Have you set up your PayPal account?
But this happened in Croatia, right?
1. You can talk about politics if you'd like, just don't act smart if talking about Croatian politics. Chances are the people living here know the situation a lot better than you do.
2. Tipping is not exactly a must in Croatia. It's nice if you leave a tip, it's a gesture of appreciation for good service, but it is in no way mandatory.
Thanks for your input and thanks for watching!
@@30AndAWakeUp locals are like: yes, tipping is mandatory ;D
yes, im a medical student in split croatia, and we only tip when we get good service or when we rent big tables for bigger gatherings

Beaches in Croatia are amazing!
Yeah....I didn't expect that to be honest. But the water is so clear....it's amazing!

There is only one cardinal rule that should be applied when visiting Croatia/any other country : Be kind, mindfull and respectfull and you will be ok. Croats mostly keep to themselves and if you are not causing problems, you very likely (99.8 percent) won't have any. If you go over the tolerance level of a Croat (that is quite hard to achieve), you will probably have 2 scenarios :(depending on a person) , they will look at you, sigh, roll their eyes and walk away, or they will fight you (less likely). Both of those, you probably did to yourself (by acting the way you shouldn't have). People here won't get in your private space, or ask you a lot of private questions (especially young people), if you don't show the interest in their company first. All Croats have one thing in common: their willingness to help other people. So, if you need anything, ask anyone, they'll try to help or tell you where you can get help you need. Croatia is amazing to visit. If you have someone to show you around (locals), or a friend who is a Croat, you will see the things most tourists don't get to see. You should eat the fish and the "frutti di mare" near the Sea, and the more meaty dishes should be eaten inland, because that is how you will get the best experience. Croats forget to appriciate what they have, so don't be surprised if you see someone looking at you sideways for enjoying something or admiring something. It's nothing personal, they just wonder what is that you see in something they find so trivial. If you want to save some money, don't eat or drink near the "tourist attractions", restourants and caffes are really pricey (if you don't care about the moneysaving part, by all means, enjoy and indulge in those). Do not go to the mountains unequipped, and try to be as informed as you can about the currency exchange rates, about the car lending services, make sure to use no-fee bank cards, make extra copies of your passport and important documents, libraries, restaurants, and most cafés have free Wi-Fi, carry a basic first-aid kit. Don’t call the Croatian language Serbian or Bosnian. It doesn’t matter that the three languages are very, very similar, linguistically speaking. Don’t feel intimidated if you witness two or more Croats yelling something at each other with a wild use of gestures - they might not even be fighting, but rather arranging to meet at some later point. This is just the way they are - loud 😂😂😂, but also kind and loving.
These are some of the best tips I could remember.
Thanks for the awesome advice!

Hello
how are you
You should never try to swim on a matress from shore to an Island that seems close but really is many many miles away! Someone also mentioned don't go hiking in sandals and water, especially alone. Every summer lots of people get lost, hurt and even missing because they underestimate the nature. Croatia is beautiful! You must come if you haven't been already!
That's a good one.
Looks like Croatia is busting your sandals only life! 😄 I’d like to visit Croatia some day, I have heard it is beautiful. In Chicago we have friends who emigrated from there after the war, they lost a lot of family and friends. Chicago actually has a pretty sizable Croatian (and Serbian) population. If these friends are indicative of the general population, very caring people and delicious food! I wish all countries took care of their beaches. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah....I came at the wrong time! It is cold in Europe right now! But less tourist and so beautiful!
Yes, people from Croatia, Serbia and the rest of the former Yugoslavia are usually very warm, caring and friendly people!

Hi tara u r right
Very respectful and well done. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Am from Croatia and thanks for this I learned new stuff about my country!
Happy to hear that!
Some of my most enriching conversations have been with Croatians, talking about their history and politics, including the war. The trick in that conversation, if you aren't from there, is to do more listening than talking. If you want to truly learn about the people, the place, and the culture, don't avoid politics. Just avoid being an a-hole and view it as a chance to learn about people's experiences.
Never throw trash on *any* beach, anywhere.
Tipping is nice, but *not* obligatory in Croatia.
I agree about the trains-in Croatia, they suck. Ferries, when they're running, can also be a good option.
Also, if you like pastry, you must try breskvice. It means peach, but I'm talking about the little pastries that are made to look like peaches. Amazing.
Thanks for the feedback.
It's funny. It seems like we only know how to talk about wars and stuff lol. Btw there's no trick in that conversation, nobody expects you to have an in depth knowledge about it. Just say what you think and ask whatever you want.
It was so complicated that even most ppl that have fought in it don't really know and understand every single action taken and politics behind it.
And also the animosity between different nationalities from ex Yugoslavia are mostly in the past. I can't remember the last time I had a hostile interaction as a Croat with any decent Serb, Slovenian, Bosnian etc or heard something hostile has happened in my near vicinity.
So as a foreigner, you don't have to pick a side in our past conflicts (Croats vs Serbs). If you are engaging in that sort of conversations with the locals remember to always be an advocate for peace, acceptance, tolerance, healing, cooperation etc.
idk how to explain this one but respect the traditional restaurants and stuff. i’m from there and i remember last summer people walked into a restaurant in split that was very nice and pretty traditional croatian style cooking (mostly seafood at this place) and they asked if they had hamburgers. the restaurant worker was clearly annoyed by the question and told them they should go to mc donald’s if they want burgers
Interesting!

Man, right in the target!! I m from Croatia and it's 100% true, every word you said!!! Great job!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Hi sir how are you
Theres no that percentage thing in Croatia, just *round it up*. If the cup of coffee is 8 kunas, give the waiter 10 kunas (if you want to leave the tip at all). If you pay for everybody in your group as well, let's say 4 coffees, that's 4x8=32, round it up to 35 etc. In the restaurants, when the amount is higher, there's no problem if you round 1467 kunas to just 1500. It's still fine tip. If you can pay by card, you can just give the waiter 30 or 50 kuna in his hands (final amount doesn't matter). Of course, he will not refuse 100 or 200 kunas or more. 😀 On big business or family dinners, the bill can be high, so giving 15-20% to the waiter is crazy.
Thanks for the feedback.

Good point!
You should tip if you like the service...not really mediatory
Understood.
@@30AndAWakeUp I work as a bar manager in Croatia. Don't tip someone just because you were served. But if it was pleasant and quick, make sure you do because the waiter will go out of his way for you much more. :)
Most Croats dont tip.. though it may be more customary in the areas of tourism
@@codyleslie478 now, that is wrong. Croats do tip. Not much, but they do in 90% of cases.
@@codyleslie478 most Croats tip but not like within percentage but they rather round it .It is much less then outsiders but it also depends if you are in a bar or in the restaurant and what type of restaurant. Also tip is earned and not just given for any kind of service.Shitty service,shitty tip or no tip and some people are just cheep so they dont tip.
Good job! Thanks
No problem 👍

@@30AndAWakeUp
Here it is:
1. Tourists shouldn't go unprepared and alone to the otherwise beautiful mountain ranges of Velebit and other higher mountains, esp. without consulting local guides. People very often underestimate climate, weather conditions, ruffnes of terrain and how remote and big Croatian mountain areas are, sometimes with fatal consequences.
2. Tourists shouldn't go by theirselves of the beaten path at the very isolated, remote and uninhabited inland areas (mostly more isolated parts of Lika, Banovina, Dalmatinska Zagora and Slavonija regions) without consulting locals and guides since, although relatively slim, there is still some potential danger of landmines from the 90s war.
3. When visiting Croatia tourist definitely shouldn't visit only coastal parts of the country since that is only about one half of it. I'm from continental Slavonia region and, to put it mildly, I really don't like when tourists see our country only as a huge beach area!
Continental Croatia is completely different from the Adriatic part of country, also majestic at it's own, with cities like Zagreb, Samobor, Varaždin, Osijek, Vukovar, Slavonski Brod; natural landmarks like national parks like Plitvice lakes, Krka, Risnjak, natural preserves Kopački rit, Lonjsko polje, Papuk, many castles in Zagorje region, interesting tradition villages in eastern Croatia, ...
4. Tourist definitely shouldn't just satisfy theirselves only with sun and beach since all parts of Croatia are extremely rich in cultural heritage, with many historical landmarks, rich culture, and very interesting and diverse local traditions! Croatia has many UNESCO world heritage sites, but also UNESCO intangible heritage (highest number in whole of the Europe!) presented in unique preserved traditions, crafts, folklore...
5. Tourist most definitely shouldn't come in Croatia with prejudices, esp. with any kind of fears about safety!
Statistically and in reality Croatia is one of the safest countries at the whole world, regularly much better ranked at the safety lists than majority of the western countries like France, GB, ...and especially USA!
One of these prejudices is vision of Croatia as a very poor and undeveloped, post socialist country that is very far from reality!
There are many more things, ...
@@fapmashina1 This is amazing. I hope you don't mind - I am going to share this on my instagram and facebook!
@@30AndAWakeUp
No i don't mind! No problem at all!
One or two more remarks... 🙂 Suddenly I'm so talkative!
Regarding country development; before the brake up of Yugoslavia, Slovenia and Croatia, two of the westernmost republics of that country were probably economically the most developed parts of the whole eastern and central Europe. While Slovenia is still among the more developed countries of the eastern Europe, although also developed country and member of the EU, Croatia is still struggling to find it's own way, partly because it had much harder path to it's independence in past than it's western neighbours.
And one more don't! Anyone visiting any of the countries od the Ex-Yu should never ever say that this former country was part of the iron curtain since this is usual western misconception and huge mistake! Although communist, some would say socialist country, Yugoslavia was never part of the Warsaw pact and iron curtain and it had it's own path.
I hope I wasn't to much detailed and boring? 😬😀
@@fapmashina1 Good stuff. Not boring at all...I like learning this kind of stuff. Thanks for sharing.

I love Croatia I've been there numerous times, Zagreb is a very beautiful city so too the women. The first time eating octopus was in Zagreb and boy I did enjoy every bit of it.
I need to get to Zagreb. Havent been yet.
Hm, I don't think you've got the real deal in Zagreb. It could be imported if it's not a high end restaurant. But the taste is the same tho. Local octopus is usually larger than the imported ones b/c they catch them so fast in asia they don't have time to grow big. That's usually how you know. But then, we do catch plenty of smaller ones too in Croatia.
Try Calamari
I live in a small town pretty close to Zagreb, went on vacation to Kaštel Stari which is 15 min driving away from Split. When I was going home it took me 6-7 hours to Zagreb. Although it took a long time it was much more comfortable, coupes are roomy, and trains are relatively new. My advice, if you are over 6’2, (I myself am 6’5) don’t take the bus cuz you’ll lose your mind due to very little leg and head space.
Thanks for your input!
Whats the name of the small town?
You are blessed indeed to live in such a paradise - peace
Great video! all of them are pretty correct but train part made me laugh... probably took the train myself only twice in my life and never again :) regards from Split !

One can be confused with all these comments about tips. Here are the facts:
- Waiters in Croatia have a regular monthly salary. Tips are just a bonus on salary.
- It is not obligatory to give a tip, but it is expected depending on the context and of course it is always received with approval.
- The standard rule is that the tip be 10% of the price.
- There are people who never pay a tip, people who always pay a tip and the vast majority of people pay a tip depending on the place / time / quality and so on.
- The tricky part is recognizing when it’s time to tip, and when it’s really not necessary. This already requires a social skill that comes naturally to most people when they are part of a society, but is a problem for many strangers.
Eg. when you are having dinner at a nice restaurant and enjoying good food and good company, this whole experience will tell you that it is really appropriate to tip.
Or, for example, you sat down to drink coffee during the day and you are not expected to tip, although many leave a few kunas ...

@@30AndAWakeUp yea I wish I was there now. But we are from Canada and international travel is very difficult. Also traveling without health insurance is too risky for us, I have a bad heart. So we have to wait until covid is a thing of the past. Gives us more time to dream and plan.
Excellent video, and finaly someone added the train problem out here but I could add couple of things that really iritates the locals and that I know of : 1. You said all in your video , dont call croatia Yugoslavia or former part of Russia, dont mention the war or the politics , dont take the train and I would say pay only in Kuna and that the worst thing out here is ( well this is for the younger tourists) when they are in crowd and they are unclothed and Loud , and when I say loud I mean that people in radius of like 100 m can hear you, othervise love when we have tourists! Excellent video !
Thanks for commenting Borna! Good advice - I paid in Euro a few times and it was much more. I hate loud tourist as well! What part of Croatia are you from?
@@30AndAWakeUp You're welcome ! If you are in croatia I advise you exchange euros in post office , they won't steal a penny from you. Im from Split Croatia 😀
Be careful on the rocky beaches, one wrong move and you might hurt yourself pretty badly, also a recomandation for one of the best places to go for the summer vacation is Krk. Trust me you will love it there.
Thanks for the tips!
I went to Croatia and did them all. It was awesome. ❤
🤣
great video. all is simple true
Thanks for watching and commenting, Mark.
I am a Croatian and i live in Split my whole life. Most of the videos i see with a topic like this are just plain stupid and bad advice. This one however is excellent. All 5 things are true and i would like to ad 1 more thing that makes Dalmatians rly mad and that is when you come to Dalmatia with your cars , please buy a weekly parking ticket and park on paying parking spaces that the locals don't use. The reason is that we don't have a lot of parking spaces ( Split in particularly ) , so when you do take the ones that are free most of the locals are not happy about it ( especially if u park behind the buildings on "hidden" parking spaces , some1 might even damege your car. ). If you come by car u can pay 100 euros more for a weekly parking ticket and leave the free parking spaces to locals who can't afford the paying ones. Great guide and i hope all who come get to enjoy the beauties of Croatia.
Very good advice. Thank you so much for the input. I'll definitely put it in my next Croatia vid.
Me, a Croatian, hearing what he says at 1:12
"We may have good beaches but THEY SURE AIN'T ALWAYS CLEAN"
Fair point.
Topping is very rare in Europe, never thought in Croatia is customary!
Thank you for letting us know
No problem!
it s not ! They just fooled him ,...so they got more money out of him !...
Its not. You can tip for sure, but only if you're satisfied with the waiter and their service...
I've almost never left a tip in my life living here
Yeah, I think that might be a tourist thing. I have heard that a lot. Thank you for commenting. What part of Croatia are you from?
Yeh but where do you live?
Cicija
I wouldn't brag about being cheap.
@@anthonyvucetic9899 ne baš, ja živim u Rijeci, ne turističkom gradu. Sasvim je normalno da ljudi nemaju novaca, pogotovo studenti.
We in Croatia have one joke related to trains:
Why Croatian train stations are always paved?
So passengers don't release roots while waiting hahaha
Oh and btw, "Split" is name of the city, biggest city in the southern part
haha! nice!
Isnt he filming this in Split?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everything is so beautifull
It is! Thanks for watching and commenting, Anna.
Love from croatia ! ❤️
Thank you! I cant wait to return.
Another 👍 great vlog!!!! Good thing you point out sensitivity in conveying politics in Croatia, as traveller RESPECT is the only way to have safer & enjoyable trip
Yes, for sure! Thank you so much for commenting Anne!
Nothing hapend to you here if you mentioned politics or war Anne but we dont like that people call this war "civil" and we dont like that someone call Croatia former Yugoslavia..but in eiter case nothing gona hapend to you..actualy we like that foriner ask us abouth war
@@bernardokrolo2275 very true! Politics is a hot topics and great for conversation & my comments is for general rules for travellers - "respect".
@@LIFEmedicaltourismconsulting actualy i notice that many vlog abouth Croatia came whit don 't abouth war and politics and sometimes seems to me that people may get impresion that our reaction abouth this topic may be radical..because of that i have need to explain that only problem is that we dont like some intrepetiation abouth our war for independenc..and that is it..every others stuff and conversation is like in every other civilazed country
@@bernardokrolo2275 haven't check other vlog that talks about Croatia don't & do (lived in Europe for 2 1/2 years & in general it is fun vibe + great food)
When it comes to tipping in Split, we don't usually do that. The only time we do it is if we have some extra cash asside so we kind of say screw it and leave it behind. It's kind to tip but people working at our restaurants and coffee shops are usually well payed. If you do tip, that's absolutely fine. You don't have to worry about people spitting in your food or cups if you didn't tip them here, no worries.
Thanks for your input.
False
A bog te jeba koji si redikul. Reci da je tip obavezan. Sta jebes zid. Nek daju mancu. Svi sritni
1) never discuss peoples pain
2) never throw trash anywhere
3) tipping is not mandatory nor expected but appreciated
4) unless you are feeling adventurous
5) its stupid ffs. If u wanna go to Yugoslavia get a time machine
Good stuff...thanks.
If I ever go to Croatia I will do what you say from what you showed parts of it just like a beautiful country I would love to visit someday
🤙
Well done..😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Actually, train system is great in the east of the country (from Zagreb to Osijek or Slavonski Brod), but from Zagreb to Split not so much.
Also, I think most people have nothing against talking about politics, but if you want to talk or ask about war or Serbia, be sure to be respectful. Politics is always sensitive topic in every country.
Thanks for your feedback.
Well, it's true, one more thing - never go alone to the mountains/hills, without water and wearing flipflops... Many tourists haven't managed to find their way back, you should always get a local guide or go in organized groups
Thanks for the info.
@@30AndAWakeUp you are welcome
....and many tourists get lost and are esten by the local carnivorous kuna and other fauna.....seriously
Is split in March worth visiting? Or should i wait until at least May? I love your videos btw. It is weird because i have watched so many that I feel like i know you lol
id say March might be a little rainy but still nice
Nice video,I hope you like our country 😄❤️🇭🇷
I love it! Thanks for watching and commenting, Leo.
