- Fair taxi price (official, daytime): €25 - €30. Use the official taxi rank outside the terminal or book via Bolt or Uber. Agree on the fare before boarding and decline drivers who approach you in arrivals.
- Best alternative: Local bus line to the main bus station in the city centre (€2)
- Buy tickets from kiosks, newsstands, or the official app before boarding. Validate the ticket in the machine inside the bus immediately after entering. Buying from the driver costs more. Fine without a valid ticket: €40.
- Optional. Rounding up or leaving about 10 percent in restaurants is appreciated. Taxi drivers and tour guides do not expect tips, but rounding up is fine.
- Most restaurants list prices including service in Croatia, and cover or bread charges are not a widespread practice in Zadar. Check the menu for any stated service charge. Avoid places near the main squares without displayed menu prices.
- Always choose to be charged in euros and decline dynamic currency conversion at card terminals and ATMs. Prefer bank-attached ATMs over independent machines, which often charge high withdrawal fees. Check the fee on screen before confirming.
