What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Croatia?
We asked people in Croatia if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...
"It is important to be aware of cultural differences when visiting Croatia. It is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions. Avoid making negative comments about the country or its people. It is also important to dress modestly and to be aware of local religious customs. It is considered rude to be late for appointments or to be overly loud in public. It is also important to be aware of local tipping customs and to be respectful of the environment," commented one expat who made the move to Croatia.
