Getting arround

By bus

All parts of the city of Dubrovnik are well connected by frequent, regular bus lines.

City bus timetables are displayed at every major bus stop, and you can also get timetables at the Information Offices of the Dubrovnik Tourist Board, at Libertas bus company kiosks, at hotel front desks, and the like.

Bus tickets can be purchased directly from the bus driver (15 kuna), at newsstands (˝S˝ ticket – 12 kuna), at the Libertas bus company kiosks located at Pile, the Central Bus Terminal, the Pošta Lapad bus stop and in Mokošica, at hotel front desks and from travel agencies. It is possible to purchase a ticket on the bus with exact change of 15 kuna. The bus ticket is valid for exactly one hour from the moment of first use for an unlimited number of rides in the city.

It is also possible to buy a daily bus card (exclusively at Libertas bus company kiosks) that is valid for 24 hours beginning with the first use, and the price is 30 kuna. The magnetic card payment system involves turning the front side of the ticket containing the magnetic strip towards you and inserting it into the ticket-machine on the bus, after which the ticket is returned to you. If you have a contactless bus ticket, you merely press it against the sensor.

Local bus lines are the following numbers: 1A, 1B, 2, 2A, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 17.

A map of the bus stations and city bus network can be found on the following website http://libertasdubrovnik.com or in the Dubrovnik Riviera brochure found at the Information Offices of the Dubrovnik Tourist Board, as well as at Libertas kiosks.

By taxi

There are taxi stands in all of the busiest parts of the city and taxi service fares are clearly displayed.

The taximeter must be running from the start of the trip; if not, the customer is not obliged to pay the fare. A taxi normally accommodates a maximum of four people. Should you wish to lodge a complaint about service for any reason, get a receipt from the driver with a valid stamp, with quoted service and the licence plates number.  There are three taxi companies in Dubrovnik, therefore it is necessary to have the proper contact for your complaint.

You may like to take a taxi for a memorable panoramic tour of the City and its surroundings. Such a tour usually includes a drive to the new bridge off ering a view of Gruž Harbour, Lapad, The Rijeka Dubrovačka and the islands. You may continue the tour along the Adriatic Highway with a view over the entire City, and go to the top of Mount Srdj (415 metres) above the town and enjoy the superb view of Dubrovnik and the surrounding area. You may also arrange a whole or half day excursion to the surroundings of Dubrovnik in agreement with the driver (www.taxi-dubrovnik.hr, www.taxi-ragusa-dubrovnik.com, PlaviTaxiDubrovnik) or (http://www.ekotaxi.hr/) Cammeo taxi (https://cammeo.hr/en/cities/dubrovnik)

By car

If you decide to go to the Old City with your car, we recommend that you park at the public car park located at Ilijina Glavica, only five minutes’ walk from the Old City.

Street parking is marked with signs that display payment instructions and parking cost per hour. You can pay at parking meters or by using a mobile phone.

There is a parking lot at Gruž Port that will be particularly useful if you decide to take a day trip to one of the islands in the Dubrovnik area because it is located in the immediate vicinity of the pier where the boats that connect Dubrovnik with the local islands dock.

Several petrol stations are located on roads to and in Dubrovnik. Some are open 24 hours.
