Daily life
Dubrovnik is a walled port city on Croatia's southern Dalmatian coast, its roots tracing back to Ragusa, founded in the 7th century. Landmarks include the City Walls, the Rector's Palace, the Sponza Palace, and the Church of St. Blaise; UNESCO inscribed the Old Town on the World Heritage List in 1979. Daily life in the narrow stone streets is intertwined with tourism, and cruise ship traffic noticeably increases each summer.

Transport
Dubrovnik is usually reached via Dubrovnik Airport (DBV), about 20 km south of the city, from which a Croatia Airlines shuttle bus runs into the centre. Long-distance buses connect the city to Zagreb, Split, and Zadar, while Jadrolinija ferries serve Split and the surrounding islands. Within the city, buses run by Libertas are the main means of transport, and the Old Town itself is entirely car-free. Current departure times, ticket prices, and line numbers aren't stated unless verified; where details are missing, we honestly say we don't know. (Source: Wikivoyage, Wikipedia)

FAQ
How do you get to Dubrovnik and where is the nearest airport?

Transfers from the airport into town are straightforward and frequent.
What is Dubrovnik best known for?
Dubrovnik is best known for its walled old town rising straight from the Adriatic Sea. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is famous for its walkable stone ramparts, the marble-paved main street known as the Stradun, and its baroque churches. The seafaring legacy of the former Republic of Ragusa shapes the city's character today.
How many days are enough to visit Dubrovnik?
Two days are usually enough to see Dubrovnik's old town at a comfortable pace. Spend one day walking the city walls and exploring the narrow lanes, and a second on nearby islands or short trips along the coast. If you prefer a slower rhythm or want day excursions, three days feels more relaxed.
