People in Croatia speak Hrvatski (pronounced her-vhat-skee). Some also speak Bosnian and Serbian, which are similar to their native language. In bigger cities, many people also speak English, Italian and German because of tourism.
Croatia uses the euro, just like Italy. That’s because both countries are part of the European Union, which is kind of like the United States. Instead of states, the E.U. is made up of countries that work together and share currencies, laws and even the same emergency number.
A bottle costs about one euro in Croatia, or about $1.20 in U.S.D.
The food in Croatia was delicious! My favorite dish was Ćevapi, tiny sausages made from beef. You can eat them in bread called lepinja or on a plate. They’re usually served with onions, cream cheese and a tasty red pepper sauce called ajvar. Yum!
