British tourists in Croatia warned of new ‘temporary’ rules in Dubrovnik

British tourists in Croatia have been warned about new ‘temporary’ rules in Dubrovnik. Tourist taxes to watch out for in popular holiday destinations have been revealed by experts ahead of the spring and summer getaway season.

British tourists to Croatia have been warned of a new tourist tax in Dubrovnik, which is a choice for many. Visitors to the Croatian city must pay EUR 2.65 per person, per night from April to September.

However, the fee has been temporarily reduced to €1.86 for the rest of this year, according to statistics from Quotezone.

“If you’re taking a trip to any city in Europe this year, you need to be aware of the potential extra costs for your holiday. Tourist taxes range from less than 1 euro to almost 15 euro and can be per person per night.

“Many fees are based on hotel rating or type of accommodation, and rates vary from city to city depending on whether people are charged per night or for the entire trip.” Dubrovnik isn’t the only destination with a tourist tax either.

Lisbon in Portugal charges €2 per night for tourists to stay and this only applies to a maximum of seven nights per person. In Barcelona, ​​the recent increase in the existing tourist tax means that visitors now pay €3.25 for those staying in official accommodation.

This has increased from €2.75. In Paris, the French government charges visitors a tourist tax depending on the type of accommodation. The most expensive fee is €14.95 for a stay in palaces and €0.65 for one- or two-star campsites. Those staying in a typical four-star hotel pay €8.13.
