How much is a can of coke in Croatia?

In family bistros and cafes, expect to pay approx. 15 kuna for a Coke or juice. A pint of local beer is between 14 and 16 Kuna, as is an ice cream. In a local Konoba (family run restaurant) expect to pay between 200 – 350 Kuna for a main course for a family of 4.



Since Croatia's adoption of the Euro, prices have stabilized but remain higher in tourist hotspots. In 2026, a 0.33L can or bottle of Coca-Cola typically costs between €2.50 and €3.50 at a standard cafe or restaurant in cities like Split or Zagreb. In the highly popular Old Town of Dubrovnik, you might pay upwards of €4.50 to €5.00 at a terrace with a view. For those looking to save, purchasing a can at a local supermarket like Konzum or Tommy is significantly cheaper, usually priced around €0.90 to €1.20. Prices can also fluctuate based on whether you are visiting during the peak summer season or the quieter shoulder months. It's always worth checking the menu or "Cjenik" before ordering, as "tourist taxes" in the form of higher prices are common in the most famous seaside locations.
