Travel and transport agencies Dubrovnik

All year round, travelers will find Paris-Dubrovnik flights with Croatia Airlines (sometimes with a stopover in Zagreb), and, in summer, numerous low-cost airlines, including Ryanair and Volotea. In addition to a large cab service, shuttle buses run between the airport and the old town (stops opposite the cable car, at the port and at the bus station, with timetables in line with flights), as does the city bus service (Libertas). Allow around 30 minutes from the city.

During July and August it is particularly difficult to find a parking space in Dubrovnik. That is why it is very useful to have a map and timetable of the city buses with you. The company Libertas serves the entire modern city, the airport and the main coastal towns on the Dubrovnik Riviera. Even though they are often crowded in summer, these buses will allow you to get around quickly, even late at night, and not limit your visit to the old town. Their schedules can be downloaded from the company's website.

The bus station is located in the new town, on the port side of Gruž, about 3 km from the old town (Pile gate). Buses connecting Dubrovnik's various districts, as well as national and international lines, all stop at this bus station, 400 m from the ferry terminal at the port of Gruž. See the website for timetables. Several times a day, buses connect Zagreb, Split, Mostar, Metković, Sarajevo..

Cab fares are generally expensive in Croatia, although there are now a number of (cheaper) apps such as Uber and Bolt. Depending on the destination, the fare is either metered or calculated on a flat-rate basis. As in France, cabs are used for urban and regional travel, from one town or village to another, when there are no buses, and for airport transfers (very practical!). This reliable company is recommended for all your travel needs in Dubrovnik and the surrounding area. 24-hour service.

Jadran, who founded the agency, has been working as a skipper since 1968 and has won several competitions. His son Ljubo has been sailing for a living since 1989, and has also won regattas.

This private shipping company connects Dubrovnik to Split in a 4.5-hour catamaran ride via Mjlet (Pomena), Korčula, Hvar and Brač (Milna), from early April to late October. This same route is also covered by the state-owned company Jadrolinija, but its catamarans only start in early June and do not stop in Mljet. If you travel without a car and want to go from Dubrovnik to Split, the catamaran is a good solution: the sea crossing is still more expensive than the bus, but it avoids traffic jams on the road and the duration of the trip is similar.
