Planning a trip to Dubrovnik, Croatia? 🇭🇷 Save this mini cheat sheet.
Dubrovnik is so much more than the famous Old Town. Walk the city walls, take the cable car up Mount Srđ for incredible Adriatic views, swim at Banje or Šulić Beach, wander the little streets and get out on the water for sunset.
A few things I wish more people knew before visiting:
📍 Stay in Old Town for atmosphere and walkability, Ploče for views, or Lapad if you want beaches and a little more space.
☀️ May, June, September and October are my favorite times to consider. July and August are beautiful but HOT and very busy.
🚢 Check the cruise ship schedule before planning your Old Town day. Timing can make a huge difference.
👟 Bring comfortable shoes. Dubrovnik has a LOT of stairs.
⏰ Walk the walls early before the heat and biggest crowds arrive.
🌊 Leave time for the coast. A boat trip or sunset cruise was one of my favorite ways to experience Dubrovnik.
Save this for your Croatia trip + send it to someone you’d go to Dubrovnik with. 🇭🇷
