Bus Station
  • Tip Rating:
  • The main bus station is located about 3 km outside of the Old Town next to the port in the suburb called Gruz. I stayed in a private home in Gruz my first night in Dubrovnik, but I'd recommend spending a little more and staying in or closer to the Old Town if at all possible. Dubrovnik is well serviced by bus from all over the country and there is a local bus station right across the street from the station. It costs 8kn to buy a one way bus ticket for most locations within the city (10kn if you buy the ticket on board from the driver). To give you an idea of some of the long routes, I took the bus between Split and Dubrovnik (89kn, 5 hours) and between Dubrovnik and Mostar, Bosnia Hercegovina (70kn, 3 hours). Zagreb will take you about 11 hours. There are also routes to Sarajevo, Frankfurt and Trieste.

    Cilipi Airport
  • Tip Rating:
  • Cilipi Airport is located 22 kilometers outside of Dubrovnik in the village of Cilipi. The airport is small and very easy to navigate with a coffee shop, a small shop in the domestic departure area and a duty free shop in the international departure area. There is also a post office, bank, currency exchange and the Atlas tourist agency as well as a general airport information booth. Flights within Croatia are fairly cheap especially if purchased from within the country. If you purchase ahead online, you'll pay MUCH more. Also, the earliest flights are often significantly cheaper than the later flights. To get into town, just jump on the Croatia Airlines bus that leaves every 30 minutes and will be waiting out front. The bus takes around 25 minutes to get to the main bus station in town. As of February of 2004, the cost was 30 kunas each way. A taxi will probably cost more than most flights (around 250kn)!!

    Border Crossing

  • Border crossing at Montenegro - Dubrovnik
    Border crossing at Montenegro
    by karenincalifornia

    We were staying in Herceg-Novi, Montenegro, so to get to Dubrovnik, we drove up the coast and into Croatia. The border crossing is not a big deal, although going into Croatia is much quicker than coming back into Montenegro. There was no wait at all going north into Croatia. Croatian customs merely looked at our passports, stamped them and told us to have a pleasant stay. Entering Montenegro (and this happened to us twice) is a bit more time consuming. At both the Bar and Croatia-Montenegro border frontiers, there was a wait – 3 hours in Bar at the ferry terminal, and about 20 minutes between Croatia and Montenegro. Montenegro Customs will examine all the documentation you have for your car as well as your “Proof of Insurance”. No, your wallet sized Allstate card will not suffice. Before we got here, I had heard mixed things about whether you needed this so-called insurance or whether you didn’t. Trust me, you do, although I suspect it would not have done me a damn bit of good if our car had gotten smashed up in Montenegro. In Bar, we couldn’t get out of customs without purchasing it on the spot, and at the Croatian-Montenegrin border, they asked for the proof again. The price for this piece of paper that has nothing to do with insurance, but everything to do with an entry fee to Montenegro, was $15 Eurodollars. On the bright side, some things in life are free. While we were waiting at the Montenegrin border, some young girls were passing out tourist guidebooks for Montenegro, which were about 75 pages in length and quite helpful with nice maps.

    On the road towards Dubrovnik
  • Tip Rating:
  • The landscape is dry and the mountain plunges steeply into the sea. Abandoned terraces show that the land was once cultivated and groomed. The work was hard, the crop scarce. The cultivators have now either left the country or are working in the tourists industry.

    Flying by Croatiairlines
  • Tip Rating:
  • Dubrovnik is situated in the most southern part of Croatia, therefore the airplain is the most easiest way to get it. Croatiairlines, the national company, offers a reduced number of cheap tickets on each fly to Dubrovnik which costs around 20,00 Euros. The only problem is, you can buy this tickets exclusevely when in Croatia. The fly from Zagreb to Dubrovnik takes approx. 45 minutes and in a clear day one can enjoy in fantastic arial view of the Adriatic coast and the islands. I had bad weather conditions during my fly, very cloudy and heavy rain right above the coastal area.

    Cypress !
  • Tip Rating:
  • In some places, everything is stone and sun burnt vegetation. In other places, a wonderful and refreshing landscape of cypress is growing ! Why ? The soil may be different, but moreover, there must be some moisture in the soil that allows such an amazing vegetation.

    On top of the mountain, the border
  • Tip Rating:
  • Top of the mountain is the border with Bosnia-Herzegovina. That means that those who can reach the edge … This is Europe on both sides of the mountain. That will be soon European Union. Then, that will not matter anymore who is on top of the mountain and who is underneath.

    Taxis--watch your wallet!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Taxis in Dubrovnik, as in Zagreb, are metered. Even so, we couldn't be sure that we weren't getting cheated anyway. The price of a cab ride was extremely steep--something like EUR 20 just to get from our hotel at the Ploce Gate to the car rental office near the Jadrolinija terminal. It may not be possible to avoid taking taxis at some point, but be warned that you will pay an arm and a leg.

    Get out on the water . . .
  • Tip Rating:
  • You can catch a ferry to one of the many islands along the Southern Dalmatian coast at the main port in Gruz or right in front of the Old Town. Check with the tourist agencies in the Old Town for information and schedules, but keep in mind that they are very limited in the non peak tourist seasons.
