Dubrovnik Travel Forum

I was wondering which area is a better area to actually stay while in Dubrovnik, the Old Town or Lapad area?
At the moment i'm thinking the Lapad area with the beach, bars and restaurants close by, is this correct?
Thanks

What is the cost of self-guided wall walk in US dollars?

I plan to walk the walls as early in the day as possible, but it will be on a Saturday. Would it be better (less crowded), to go late on Friday afternoon? What time do they open and close this month? If I went in the morning, would I have time after this to visit an island near Dubrovnik? How long would it take to get there? Alternatively, is there a short boat trip I could do to see the city from the water?

Thank you to all who have answered my previous questions about getting from the airport to my hotel.

Hi all,

I will be touring the coast of Croatia starting from the north and ending in Dubrovnik. From there, I need a major airport to fly from back to NYC. I can get a relatively good price on Czech Airlines from Zagreb to NYC. What is the best (cheapest) way to get from Dubrovnik to Zagreb?

Alternatively, is there a better airport to fly to from Dubrnovnik for me to then fly from back to NYC?

Thanks!

Does anyone know the "Hotel Lapad",in Dubrovnik?Does anyone know its actual situation?Are there restoring works in this hotel?

Thanks.

What is the best way to get from Dubrovnik airport to a hotel in the city? Is it better to take a bus or a taxi, and what is the approximate cost of each? Can I change euros to the local currency at the airport? Any other tips/advice would be appreciated.

I have gone to the website http://www.hostelworld.com and found quite a number of places I would like to stay. Before I make a booking I'd like to find out if I could forward a package to the place before I arrive but I can't seem to contact any of the places. The brief list of places I've considered are
Kusalo Guesthouse
Bokun Guesthouse
Begovic Boarding House
Accomodation Maria
Marko Polo
Villa Klaic
S&C Guesthouse

Any of them would be fine if I just knew I could send this package. Anyone have an idea how to contact them? I tried to Google them but they don't seem to have web pages. Thanks. Michael

How is the port area?Is it nice and sure?I've found a good accomodation there,but I am not sure...
Are there parkings for motocycle near the Old City?
Any other advices about accomodation(hotel or apartment not too expensive)?

Thanks!

I booked a panorama tour through www.dubrovnik-excursions.com
and I would like to know a good website to make an online reservation for the hotel in Dubrovnik 'cause that possibility on the website above is under reconstruction.

Thanks

I have a standard Samsonite suitcase that I will unpack in Budapest and would like to forward to Dubrovnik. I understand I can ship it with Hungarian Post but need an address to ship that will store it. I'm arriving in Budapest around June 1 and will be in Dubrovnik around July 1 for about 3-4 days. Does anyone have a suggestion where I might send this. The suitcase is just about empty. Thanks. Michael

I have 2 options for my stay in Dubrovnik.
Bellevue or Dubrovnik Palace, we are 3 couples (in the 30īs)
Help me to decide.
Thank you

HI,
I was looking at this site trying to check ferries schedules and quotes. The quote page is not working.

Are there any other ferry sites to use?

Thanks

Hi there!! My cousin and I are thinking of travelling to Dubrovnik this summer [1st week of August] for a week. We are looking for a fun-filled party place where there are lots of places to go to with other singletons like ourselves to meet. Is Dubrovnik this type of place??? Can somebody tell me more about the nightlife there in summer time?

Also, is it worth traveling out for a day somewhere near by? Montenegro perhaps?

9 of us are in Dubrovnik on a cruise in July and would like to go sea kayaking, can anybody recommend a company?

My parents are visiting via a cruise ship and wish for me to find out what should get up to for the day in Dubrovnik. Any suggestions will be appreciated, they are an older couple around 70.

Hi there -we are going to be staying in Dubrovnik in July for a couple of days; can anyone recommend a nice not too expensive charming hotel?
thank you!

We are going to Dubrovnik in August and would like to visit Corfu for 3 or so days. I gather there is not air link and that you still have to go to Italy to make a ferry connection.

How long would it take to drive there along the coast? How many days if we wanted to see Kotar, Butrint and other scenic spots along the way? Is it easy to cross all those borders--Croatia, Montenegro, Albania into Greece?

We will be in Dubrovnik for a day late in May. Instead of tours arranged by cruise ships, I prefer to find a driver and van to show us the city and surrounding area. Do such services exist?

In reading a few responses, I was wondering:
1. Which beach is easy to get to and how does one get there from either the cruise ship teminal or the Old City, Lapard Beach or Copacabana Beach?
2. How does one get to Lopud from the Cruise Ship terminal or the Old City, and how does one get from the ferry landing to Sunj Bay Beach? And, is it worth it?

Ok, so I spend 2-4 hours in Dubrovnik (Walled City). The cruise I am on is docking from 07:00 to 19:00. Are there any other interesting places nearby? Other than the walled city in Dubrovnik, is there anything else that is a must see and do in Dubrovnik itself? Sorry if I sound a wee bit ignorant, but I am assuming that the city of Dubrovnik is not just the old town.

Thanks for the answers to the last set of questions. Let me get this right,
In Lokrum there is not much to see, is that correct?
It might take anywhere from 1 hour to 2 and a half hours to see the old town?
What else would someone who is in Dubrovnik for the day (on a cruise) do or see? Are there any other sites or towns / villages of interest?
Are there any really nice beaches to visit and relax?

If you could help with these questions:
1. What is on Lokrum? Is there a beach? What is there to see or do? Please advise.
2. How much does the bus cost from the cruise ship terminal to the city gates? What currency do they accept?
3. About how long does it take to see the sites in the old town?

Will be arriving by cruise ship for a day and was wondering:
1. What are must sees and dos for the city? How long will it take?
2. Are there any must sees and dos outside of the city? How do we get there?
3. From the cruise ship terminal, is it easy to get to the city center, etc?

I've already asked this in the Montenegro forum, but guess I might also get answers here...

My flight leaves at 14:30 on Friday from Cilipi Airport...and I'm sitting in Tirana at the moment! Not ideal...so it looks like it will be a race across Montenegro to get the flight. My question is...are there buses from Herceg Novi or Kotor to the airport? Or do I have to go straight to Dubrovnik and double back to the airport on another bus? The answer may affect my travel plans for tomorrow (overnight in Montenegro or in Dubrovnik...)

Thanks for any answers :@p

I am arriving on a Royal Caribbean cruise with my 3 sons (13, 12 & 9), my parents and my husband. After a bunch of site seeing days in Italy, we were hoping to relax with fun and sun. Could you please tell me where the Cruise ship port is located and how far that would be from any beaches in Dubrovnik? Some people recommended Banje beach. Do you know of a quick and easy way to get there from the port? I also noticed Lapad Bay at Hotel Kompas was mentioned by others, but I am not sure if it is open to the public. Any information you could provide in helping us to a relaxing beach day would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Does anyone know if there's a ferry from Dubrovnik to either Tivat or Budva in Montenegro?
If so - do you know how often it runs?
Or where I can find some more information such as cost?
I'm travelling in June.
Thanks

I wish to travel by car from Dubrovnik to Podgorica. It appears there are two routes - one down the coast to Kotor then on to Podgorica. The other inland via Niksic. Can anyone give me info on which is the better route, is the inland route mountainous, and what would be the drive time involved?

I'm staying at the lovely city of Dubrovnik in May for a week but also want to check out the town of Kotor in Montenegro. How far is it to drive between the two? I assume taking a bus would be a good idea? Would a day trip be enough or is an overnight say a must? I noticed it's a small city.
Any advise how to approach this would be appreciated, thanks.
