Croatia is a country that is located in Southern Europe. It is bordered by Slovenia, Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Montenegro. It is a country rich in history and culture as well as wonderful historical places to visit, and below are listed ten places that a visitor should see in Croatia.
The unit of currency in Croatia is the Croatian kuna, which was introduced to the newly independent country in 1994, replacing the Yugoslav dinar at a rate of 1 kuna for 1000 dinar. Kuna literally means 'marten', a throwback to earlier times when the currency of the region was animal skins and marten pelts were considered valuable. One kuna is sub-divided into 100 lipa (which means linden tree).
Zagreb (Zagreba), the capital of Croatia, is not generally regarded as a tourist destination. Most people planning a trip to Croatia head directly for the coast, unfortunately, leaving little time if any to see Zagreb.
