Circular
- Since Croatia is a small country, it makes distances between cities short. I strongly advise traveling by bus, as this service is very well organised.
- For those who like to extend their purse strings a little, rent a car, or if you go in a group. It is, without a doubt, a good way to get to know this fantastic country a little better.
Speak
- In Croatia, Croatian is spoken, a Slavic language that uses the Latin alphabet, very similar to Serbian, which uses the Cyrillic alphabet. There it is easy to understand, as they mostly speak English, followed by Italian, Russian, German and French. Also, for the Portuguese, it is easy to learn some basic words in Croatian. Out of curiosity, the natural language of Dalmatia, Dalmatian, now extinct, belonged to the group of Latin languages.
