Need to Know

Things to consider before the trip!

Currency & Payments

The Balkans use multiple currencies. Euros are widely accepted in many tourist areas, but we recommend carrying a small amount of local currency for markets, cafés, and smaller towns. ATMs are common in cities and larger towns, and cards are accepted in most hotels and many restaurants.

  • Romania: Romanian Leu (RON)
  • Bulgaria: Bulgarian Lev (BGN)
  • Serbia: Serbian Dinar (RSD)
  • North Macedonia: Macedonian Denar (MKD)
  • Albania: Albanian Lek (ALL)
  • Bosnia & Herzegovina: Convertible Mark (BAM / KM)
  • Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Kosovo: Euro (EUR)

Exchange rates change daily—please check a live currency converter close to your travel date.


Tipping

Tipping is not mandatory, but it is appreciated. In restaurants and cafés, rounding up or leaving around 5–10% is common. Small gratuities for local guides and drivers are welcome, at your discretion.


Electricity & Plugs

  • Standard: 230V, 50Hz
  • Plug types: C and F (two round pins)
  • Tip: Travellers from outside Europe should bring a universal adapter.

Wi-Fi & Connectivity

Free Wi-Fi is standard in most hotels and common in cafés and restaurants. Mobile data coverage is generally good in populated areas, but it may be limited in remote or mountainous regions.


Water

Tap water is often safe in major cities, though taste and quality can vary. Bottled water is inexpensive and widely available, and is recommended if you are unsure or travelling in rural areas.


Weather

Weather can vary significantly between coast, inland areas, and mountains. Spring and autumn are generally mild with cooler mornings and evenings, while summers can be hot—especially along the coast. Please check a reliable forecast a few days before departure and pack accordingly.


Flexibility

All timings are approximate and may be affected by border procedures, traffic, weather, or local conditions. The order of visits and activities may be adjusted by your tour leader or local partners to protect the best and safest experience on the day.


Photo & Video

Photos and videos taken during the tour may be used for Balkland promotional purposes (website, social media, brochures). If you prefer not to appear, please inform your tour leader at the start of the trip.


Payment & Cancellation

Payment schedules and cancellation terms vary by tour type and group size. Your confirmed booking documents and Balkland Terms & Conditions are the reference for final, legally binding details. Some services (for example, flights or special tickets) may be non-refundable once purchased.
