Croatia
Currency 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 is the capital of Croatia
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.
Climate of Croatia
The part of Croatia that is best known and most visited by tourists is the Dalmatian coast and its islands in the Adriatic Sea.
This region has a Mediterranean type of climate with mild winters and warm, sometimes even hot and sunny summers.
