If you are passing through these countries on your way to Croatia, you will save time and better spend it enjoying a handful of rest stops on highway, state or local roads where you can enjoy the service ammenities and relish the views of a breathtaking Croatia landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pelje\u0161ac Bridge \u2013 Direct Connection<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The A1 highway in Croatia and Pelje\u0161ac Bridge are vital in connecting Dubrovnik to the main cities in Croatia, such as Zagreb, Zadar, \u0160ibenik and Split. Croatian highways have an impressive set of service attributes which include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>75 petrol stations, 86 coffee bars, 26 restaurants and 10 hotels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>124 rest areas offering a wide range of merchandise, catering services, use of public toilets, wi-fi internet, ATMs, roadside assistance, showers, pet facilities, and tourist information on the surrounding natural and cultural attractions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pelja\u0161ac Bridge<\/strong> is an architectural wonder in its own right.&nbsp; It is a 98 m high cable-stayed bridge with 4 lanses that provides a fixed link from the southeastern Croatian semi-exclave to the rest of the country while bypassing Bosnia and Herzegovina&#8217;s short coastal strip at Neum.&nbsp; The bridge was one of the most valuable infrastructural projects in Croatia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No Currency Exchange<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Also starting on January 1st, 2023 the <strong>euro<\/strong> replaced the Croatian kuna as the <strong>official currency<\/strong>.&nbsp; This means that visitors from the Eurozone will be saved from the hassle of worrying about multiple exchanging of currencies during their stay in Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personalized Bookings:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>See our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.royaldubrovnik.com\/en\/special-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Special Offers<\/a> &amp;
