Vanliga bluffar i Zadar, Croatia och hur du undviker dem

TaxiZadar Airport arrivals area and the taxi pick-up zone

1. Unlicensed airport drivers

Så fungerar det: Drivers approach arrivals in the terminal and offer rides to the centre at inflated flat rates, often 2 to 3 times the metered or app price. They may also disconnect meters or quote per-person fares.

Så undviker du det: Walk to the official taxi rank outside and confirm the fare before starting, or book via Bolt or Uber from the app.

Restauranger och barerOld town squares and the seaside promenade in summer

2. Menu without prices near the square

Så fungerar det: Some restaurants in the old town and along the waterfront present menus without prices or add unexpected service and cover charges at the end of the meal, especially in peak season.

Så undviker du det: Only sit down where prices are clearly displayed on the menu. Ask for a printed menu with prices before ordering.

ValutaväxlingStreets near the city centre and main pedestrian areas

3. Poor-rate exchange booths

Så fungerar det: Exchange booths aimed at tourists quote rates well below the official mid-market rate and add hidden commissions. Croatia uses the euro, so most visitors do not need to exchange at all.

Så undviker du det: Pay by card in euros and withdraw only small amounts from bank ATMs. Skip exchange booths near the old town entirely.

4. High-fee independent ATMs

Så fungerar det: Independent, non-bank ATMs in tourist areas charge high withdrawal fees and offer dynamic currency conversion in your home currency at a poor rate, which is only revealed on screen.

Så undviker du det: Use ATMs attached to banks and always select to be charged in euros. Confirm the fee before the transaction completes.
