Questions luxury travelers ask about Dubrovnik
-
Where to stay
Stay in Ploče for a first visit, the hillside neighborhood east of Stari Grad's Ploče Gate. You're 5 minutes on foot from the Old Town walls, with Lokrum Island views and none of the late-night bar noise. Budget $140-280 per night. For better value, Lapad peninsula runs $70-150, 20 minutes west by bus, with real beaches and cheaper restaurants.

Must-see
Walk the city walls. The 1,940-metre circuit around the Old Town takes about 90 minutes, costs €35, and opens at 8am in summer. Go early. By 10am the limestone heats up, shade disappears, and cruise-ship passengers from Gruž port fill the narrow walkway three abreast. Morning light on the terracotta rooftops below is the photograph of Dubrovnik.

Food culture
Dubrovnik's cooking centers on Dalmatian seafood and slow-cooked meat under iron bells (peka). The best meals are outside the Old Town walls, in neighborhoods like Gruž and Lapad, where konobas serve crni rižot for 12-18 EUR. Lunch, not dinner, is the main event, typically noon to 2pm. Fresh fish is sold by the kilo, and Mali Ston's oysters are a 60km day trip.

Cultural etiquette
Dubrovnik runs on a few unspoken rules that trip up first-timers. Greet with 'Dobar dan' before asking for anything. Tip 10-15% at sit-down restaurants. Cover shoulders and knees at Dubrovnik Cathedral and St Blaise's Church. Never refer to the 1991-92 siege casually or treat it as Game of Thrones scenery.

Airport to city
Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) is 22 km southeast of the Old Town in Čilipi. The airport shuttle bus costs €8 and takes 35 minutes to Pile Gate, timed to flight arrivals. Taxis cost €35-40 for the 25-minute ride. Bolt is cheaper at €28-33. After midnight, pre-book a private transfer through your hotel for €40-50.
