Dubrovnik Cruise port to Srdj hill
Posted: Sat October 31, 2009 01:40 PM UTC
Will be in Dubrovnik for about 8hrs on next Sunday... do plan to visit the city walls/old town by taking the bus into town from the port as directed by other forum members.

I came across some forum where people were raving about a visit to the Srdj hill... I hear the road up the hill is quite steep. I am guessing a taxi is the only safe option and how much would it cost from the old town and back to the cruise port?

thanks for your help and suggestions,

Dubrovnik St. Francis of Assisi and the Franciscan Church in Dubrovnik
Posted: Thu September 17, 2009 08:36 AM UTC
I Heard a legend about the Franciscan Church in Dubrovnik, that it has been built in accordance with the wishes of St. Francis himself who earlier sailed
along the Adriatic Coast and his ship has been destroyed by the storm, was saved, and he spent the night (or sometime) in Dubrovnik.

Is there truth to it?

Dubrovnik Arriving in Dubrovnik from Split
Posted: Mon September 14, 2009 07:53 AM UTC
Hi all, I just wanted to know what are the options of getting to Dubrovnik from Spit.

Which would be the most economical?
Which would be the fastest and also, the slowest (trying to avoid the slow one, if it takes too long).
From the station (bus or train), is it easy to get to the Old Town?

I've read about Villa Flora and Bokun as recommended as some of the affordable places to stay in Dubrovnik (40Euros per night). Can anyone else recommend a place within the same range (just in case both are already full). Somewhere in the Old Town would be perfect.

Thank you all for the help!

We will rent a car from Zagrep and we will go down to Dubrovnik by car. I have four questions :

3/Which are the cities or island that I have to spend more than one day ?
4/Can I take my car to the islands like Korcula and Hvar ?

Finally I ask to people who know croatia well if you were for the first time in Croatia how you would orgonize your 8 days trip from Zagreb to Dubrovnik ?

I didin't reserve any hotel my trip is it a problem can I find places and better prices by walking in the places ?

Thanks for your time

Dalmatia - Dubrovnik Region Re: Car rental or a bus ticket??
Posted: Mon September 7, 2009 10:56 PM UTC
I am contemplating whether I should get bus tickets to go from Dubrovnik to Brela or rent a car locally?
I've read some reviews from other members that were not very favorable to car-rentals companies in Croatia. Nevertheless, I would like to have some flexability once I get to Brela, so I can explore the coast further.
Any suggetions on rental companies in Dubrovnik? And should I purchase the extra insurance policy offered at the stores - i.e., collision+theft insurances? Are they really necessary in Dubrovnik? And how much should be the premium?
Thank you for your help.

Dalmatia - Dubrovnik Region Dubrovnik to Sarajevo
Posted: Wed September 2, 2009 01:48 PM UTC
Hello there! I am visiting Dubrovnik in October for 5 days and if possible, would like to do a day trip to Sarajevo. Does anyone know whether this is possible? I know there are buses departing from Dubrovnik to Sarajevo daily at 07h30 and that the bus trip is about 6 hours. Does anyone know what time buses depart Sarajevo for Dubrovnik & whether there is more than one departure per day? Alternately, are there any tour operators who offer a day trip to Sarajevo. About 7 years ago I did a trip from Dubrovnik to Mostar, but never made it as far as Sarajevo & really hope to make it this time. Any advice & suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks :o)

Dubrovnik which route?
Posted: Wed August 26, 2009 07:24 AM UTC
I'm driving from Dubrovnik to Mostar in late October.

I had planned to drive up the coast via Neum amd then take the E73 inland.

However, viaMichelin recommends going via Trebinje and Gacko. Looks longer to me, plus the road from Gacko to Mostar is lower grade than the others.

I know the Neum route will involve 3 border crossings as opposed to 1 on the Gacko road, so maybe that's the explanation.

Any thoughts or experiences out there?

I'm going to be renting a car at the airport in October - to visit Mostar & Kotor as well as Dubrovnik area.

Anyone have any positive or negative experiences to share in relation to the rental companies which operate at the airport?

I know I'll need a certificate of insurance for the border crossings and a St Christopher for the Mostar road. Any other tips about the borders?

Cavtat Dubrovnik/Cavtat to Budva transport?
Posted: Sun July 26, 2009 09:39 PM UTC
Hi, I will be flying to Dubrovnik Airport on Sunday 9th August, and will be looking to reach Budva for a weeks holiday before returning to Dubrovnik Airport on the Sunday 16th August.

Please could anyone advise on the travel links? I was under the impression there were regular bus journeys between Dubrovnik and Budva, but now it appears they are not as regular, and possibly not running at all on Sunday. Would there be any trains / buses running from either the airport, Cavtat, or Dubrovnik to Budva on the Sunday? And returning the following Sunday?

If so, should we book ahead?

Many thanks for any help.

For information, our plane arrives at Dubrovnik airport at 17:00, so we are hard pushed to get to Budva. The return departs the airport at 18:00 so more time on the 2nd Sunday to get back to the airport.

Dubrovnik Recommendation of day tour companies for cruiseship traveler
Posted: Fri July 17, 2009 03:19 PM UTC
In September, my friends are planning to take a Holland American line with following excursions. It seems the cruiseline arranged tours are filled, can anyone recommend good/reliable day tour (that could take you from the dock, tour and back to dock?).

The place interested is Dubrovnik. We know the dock is not too far from the walled historic town. It would be a 30 minutes walk but a short taxi ride (10 minutes?). Is there any good day tour company picking them up from the cruise ship, have a tour of Dubrovnik etc then take them back to the cruise ship? How much would this cost?

If you have any day tour company recommendation for places below also, it would be very helpful:
The places are:
- Athens (from dock Pireas)
- Corfu
- Katakolon

- Ephesus, Turkey
- Messina Sicily, Italy

Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm looking for help to find a cheap flight from Athens to Dubrovnik. I've searched countless airlines, tried connections through other cities around Europe and the only thing I find is that there are no direct flights and flights connecting through other cities are expensive. I don't have the time to travel by ferry of train. Does anyone have any suggestions on this?

Dubrovnik Who wants to explore MONTENEGRO with me on August?
Posted: Sat May 30, 2009 01:16 PM UTC
Hello folks,

I am wondering if there is anyone out there who might be interested in a travel companion for Montenegro in August?

Montenegro is a perfect compact country for nature lovers and for hiking.
If we'll be 2-4 people we can rent a car. Anyway I'm flexible, hitch-hiking is an option.
Locals' companion is more than welcomed.
