Small but beautiful.
Jun 2021
We stayed in Duborvnik for 2 nights and although it was enough to see everything, it was definitely a city we were going to miss. We did everything you can do here, climbed the walls, the cable car, walked around. The steps almost killed me since we stayed higher up in an air bnb but it was beautiful.

Historical gem
Aug 2020
Old Dubrovnik looks like decorations for historical and fantasy movies. It is well-reserved and feels like it was built a few years ago. It is a real historical gem! One of the best places in the world, so cool!

Great Old Town
Jun 2021
The old town within the city walls is a great place to wander around. There is plenty of cool architecture, great restaurants, and souvenir shops. It is well worth an afternoon, especially, when it is not crowded. You have to walk the old city walls.

Timeless. Loved it.
Jun 2021 • Solo
I have travelled much of the world and the old town in Dubrovnik is a highlight. Stunning. I know it is wrong to say this but with the pandemic and less tourists, it was lovely and you could really appreciate the cosy atmosphere and beauty. Get lost in the alleyways, visit the attractions, buy souvenirs, enjoy the atmosphere of this historical city and dine at one of the many restaurants. Coming from London, it wasn't expensive for me but others may beg to differ.

Nothing like it!
May 2021 • Friends
This was our second visit in 6 months, and once again, the old city really brings the best out of this beautiful city. The walls surrounding it, the countless of shops and restaurants, and the European vibe makes this city one of the best in the Balkans!

Too expensive
May 2021 • Family
Dubrovnik is just too expensive. Prices for parking tickets can't be real. 1 hour 50 kn? What can you see for 1 hour? Daily ticket is 600 kn? Insane! Tickets for walls per person 200 kn?! Food and drinks?? Horrible...
Don't waste your money here.

Beautiful city
Apr 2021
I know it is hard for Croatian people due to pandemic, but Dubrovnik is absolutely amazing when it is not crowded with tourists. Amazing city, nice little restaurants, bars, shops... We enjoyed it very much!

I would stay only 3 nights MAX in Dubrovnik, but I recommend it staying inside the walls, even in a small pension. It is a magical experience to stay a couple of nights inside a medieval city. Save at least 3 nights for SPLIT, a very nice touristic city. Many gems there!!

I have a terrible bird phobia. Some people told me I’d manage ok in Dubrovnik - that there weren’t too many pigeons. We are staying 20km away we travelled there today by boat but I had to leave on the same boat! They are so tame and there are so many of them. Some people don’t like birds but I am extremely ornithophobic! My question is this... should I attempt to visit at night or are they still roaming about after dark? I would happily get a taxi there and back at night time just so we could experience the city pigeon-free.

Hi
I didn’t visit at night so I am not sure how many birds are around but I would guess there would be fewer
Hi can you tell me please if the steps are only in the old town or are all over the city ? thanks

The city walls are lots of high steps and not advisable for someone with walking difficulty’s. The city is on a flat area with slopping paths in and out of the city at various points. The entrance/exit at the harbour end of the city is a good way to leave or enter as it’s where the war map is of the destruction done to Dubrovnik and also the way to the cable car.

where can you start the walk unguided

You can start the walking tour of the walls at any main entrance gate , their is no charge .
The walk is a great view of the old city and the surrounding ocean on the coast side , remember their is a lot of stairs to climb , so take it easy.
you will see another small castle when walking along the pile gate area, that castle can be accessed by a walk way behind the bus station just outside pile gate, enjoy

Καλησπέρα σας,
Θα ήθελα να ρωτήσω από αεροδρόμιο με τι μέσω προτείνετε να μεταβώ στο Ντουμπροβνικ. Επίσης θα ήθλεα να μάθω από που μπορώ να κλείσω μια εκδρομή στο Mostar με νορμάλ χρήματα.
Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ εκ των προτέρων

Καλό θα ήταν να ενοικιάζεται αυτοκίνητο έτσι ώστε να κάνατε και εκδρομές παντού . Το αεροδρομειο από τη πόλη είναι μισή ώρα χωρίς κίνηση και δε ξέρω αν αξίζει το ταξί .
Όσο για την εκδρομή συμφέρει να τη κάνετε μονοι σας .

Hi all. We’re visiting Dubrovnik for the first time in sept but it’s our third time in Croatia usually going to the quieter porec. My question is how much precaution do we need for pickpockets? Porec is very safe and there was no real need but we went to Barcelona and had to be constantly vigilant etc. Do we need the same level of protection against pic pockets as Barcelona??? Thanks in advance.

We felt very safe when we were there, the local people are very friendly and welcoming. Take normal precautions as you would anywhere, keep your belongings close to you, leave valuables in your hotel safe.Mainly have a good time and relax - the people really are welcoming.

Noi siamo arrivati con la nave, comunque mi è stato detto che il parcheggio nella zona della città storica è problematico.

When travelling with my wife , I allowed for $100 aud per day for accomplishing , $100 per day for food and travelled on FLIXBUS when travelling between cities and even up to Ljubijana. the bus has a toilet , wifi and chargers on every seat, and they were new buses with aircon.
I booked all my accommodations online before I left and found out during the trip that most of the apartments are third floor walk ups, no big deal.
