My husband and I will be on the Best of the Adriatic tour in June. I have a question for others who have taken this tour. I generally use credit cards when traveling in Europe and I'm wondering whether they are as widely accepted in Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia as in other parts of Europe.

I went on that tour in 2023. I had my Visa card loaded on my phone with Apple Pay, so I didn’t need to worry about accessing my card that I keep in my money belt. Our guide did encourage us to have some Euros from ATM’s. She showed us which type didn’t come with heavy fees.
That’s a wonderful tour! Have a great time!

I was on this tour 2 years ago - you will love it!! I had no issues using cards pretty much everywhere. I did take some cash out at an ATM for use in some of the small market stalls and for items like gelato more for convenience or when leaving a euro or 2 for a tip somewhere. I definitely found that cards were accepted everywhere.

I took the tour last fall, and concur, no issues using my credit cards.

Thank you! I didn't really expect a problem, but I did want to make sure. We're so excited about the trip.

I think you'll find that credit cards are widely accepted, with the exception of American Express. Visa and MasterCard work most anywhere.
