Practical guide
Know before you go
Short, straight answers to the questions every Dubrovnik visitor asks before booking.
The sweet-spot months
Late spring (May–June) and early autumn (September) bring warm weather, swimmable seas and thinner crowds — the best times to visit.
Spring (Apr–Jun)
Warm, blooming days ideal for the walls and old town, with the sea warming by June.
Summer (Jul–Aug)
Hot, sunny and very busy, perfect for the beaches and islands; walk the walls early and book ahead.
Autumn (Sep–Oct)
Warm sea, golden light and fewer crowds — a wonderful time for the city and boat trips.
Winter (Nov–Mar)
Mild but quiet, with some attractions and boats reduced; the cheapest, calmest season.
Avoid cruise-ship peaks
In summer the old town gets very crowded when cruise ships dock — visit early morning or evening for calm.
One day
Enough for the city walls, the old town and the cable car.
Two days
Add an Elaphiti Islands boat trip and a sunset kayak.
Three days
The sweet spot: the city, the islands, and Montenegro or Mostar.
Four to five days
Add more islands, the Pelješac wine region and Split or Korčula.
A week or more
Use Dubrovnik as a base for southern Dalmatia and the neighbouring countries.
Travelling with kids
Mix the cable car, Lokrum and a boat swim at a gentle pace.
On foot
The car-free old town is explored entirely on foot, with marble streets, steps and alleys to discover.
Cable car
The cable car whisks you up Mount Srđ in minutes for the best views over the city.
Local buses
Frequent local buses link the old town (Pile Gate) with the Lapad and Babin Kuk hotel areas and the port.
Ferries & boats
Ferries reach Lokrum and the Elaphiti Islands; boat trips and water taxis explore the coast.
Day-trip transport
Tours bundle transport and border crossings for Montenegro and Mostar; buses also run along the coast.
From the airport
Dubrovnik Airport links to the old town by shuttle bus or taxi in about 30–40 minutes.
Walk the walls early
The city walls get hot and crowded — go right at opening or late afternoon, and bring water and sun protection.
Dubrovnik Pass
The Dubrovnik Card/Pass includes the city walls and several museums plus buses — good value if you’ll visit a few sights.
Currency
Croatia uses the euro; Montenegro also uses the euro, while Bosnia uses the convertible mark (euros often accepted).
Beat the cruise crowds
The old town is busiest when cruise ships dock midday — explore early morning or in the evening for calm.
Bring your passport
For day trips to Montenegro and Bosnia, carry your passport for the border crossings.
Try Dalmatian food
Sample fresh seafood, Pelješac wine and Dalmatian peka; step off the Stradun for better-value dining.
Island boat trips
Popular Elaphiti and Blue Cave trips fill up — book ahead.
Game of Thrones tours
Themed walking tours have limited places — reserve early.
Montenegro & Mostar
Cross-border day trips fill up in summer — book ahead.
Sunset kayaking
The popular sunset kayak tours sell out — reserve early.
Cable car
Pre-book or arrive off-peak to avoid cable-car queues.
Summer peak
July and August fill hotels and tours — plan ahead.
City walls & old town
Around €35 for the city walls ticket; €25–45 for a guided old town or walls tour.
Game of Thrones tours
About €25–45 for a themed walking tour of the filming locations.
Island & kayak trips
Roughly €40–80 for an Elaphiti Islands cruise or a sea-kayak tour.
Cable car
Around €27 return for the Mount Srđ cable car.
Day trips
About €50–70 for a Montenegro (Kotor) or Mostar day trip.
How to save
A Dubrovnik Pass bundles the walls and museums, and the views from Mount Srđ reward the hike if you skip the cable car.
