1. How to get to Dubrovnik?
The fastest way is by plane to Dubrovnik Airport (20 km from the center) or by car via the A1 highway. From the airport, take a shuttle bus or taxi. If arriving by car, be prepared for the new traffic regulations around the Old Town starting June 2025.
2. Where are the apartments in Dubrovnik located?
Apartments are located in the Old Town (inside the city walls), on Ploče (near Banje Beach), Lapad (tourist area with beaches), Babin Kuk (modern villas), and Gruž (near the main port). The Old Town offers an authentic experience, while Lapad provides more facilities and parking options.
3. Is it recommended to reserve parking in Dubrovnik in advance?
Yes, especially during the summer months. Public parking in the center costs 15–25 EUR/day, while private parking 15–20 minutes walking from the Old Town ranges from 3–24 EUR/day. The new traffic regulation restricts access to vehicles without a permit.
4. When is the best time to visit Dubrovnik?
June–August are the hottest months (25–28°C) with the most activities but also the biggest crowds. May–June and September–October offer pleasant temperatures (18–25°C), warm sea, and fewer tourists. Winter is the cheapest period for accommodation.
5. How far are the beaches from the apartments?
Banje Beach is 5–10 minutes walking from the Old Town. Apartments on Lapad are mostly 200–500 m from Copacabana Beach or Lapad Bay. Apartments on Babin Kuk often have direct sea access or are only a few minutes walk away.
6. What to visit in Dubrovnik besides the Old Town?
Be sure to visit Lokrum Island (10 min by boat), take the cable car to Srđ Hill, visit the Trsteno Arboretum, the Elafiti Islands, and the Dubrovnik River. Adventurers are recommended trips to Mljet, Korčula or Mostar.
7. What amenities do apartments in Dubrovnik have?
Most apartments include air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen, and TV. Premium apartments have a terrace with sea views, washing machine and dishwasher. Check the detailed description of each apartment before booking.
8. Do you require a vehicle to get around Dubrovnik?
A car is not necessary in the Old Town since everything is within walking distance. For exploring the surrounding area (Cavtat, Trsteno, Ston) or easier access to beaches outside the center, a car is useful, but be prepared for parking costs and traffic restrictions.
