your Dubrovnik travel experience |
The most popular time of year to visit the city, as well as the country, is during the
summer. The mild, Mediterranean climate makes the summer an excellent way to escape sweltering heat elsewhere.
You'll find that air travel is more expensive during the summer, though. To save money, consider traveling in late
spring or early fall. Winter travel can be hazardous; the area does experience snow and ice.
Getting Around Town
There are numerous ways to get around the city. Dubrovnik boasts a fantastic tram system,
as well as a bus system for those eager to view the sights. However, you can also rent bicycles, mopeds and
scooters to get around. You'll find that rental prices are very reasonable and that you can easily access the city
at your own pace. If you plan to drive, you'll find several car rental companies located throughout the city.
Traveling by car is a great way to explore the areas outside of the city, while scooters and mopeds, as well as
public transportation make getting around in the city easier.
Airlines
Flying into Dubrovnik is usually simple. US travelers will likely have to board another
airline on arrival in Europe, though Delta does offer direct service to the city. You'll find a wide array of
airlines serving the city, including Croatia Airlines, Air France, KLM and many smaller airlines. Traveling by air
into the city from around Europe is not problematic. See Croatia
flights for more information on airlines flying to Croatia.
Roads
While the roads around the city are not what Westerners are accustomed to, improvements are
being made on a constant basis. You'll find that highways are marked with the letter "M" and roads will be marked
with an "E". Speed limits are strictly enforced (100 KPH in the countryside and 50 KPH or lower in congested
areas). In addition, Croatia uses right-lane driving, enforces motorcycle helmet laws and regulates low-beam
headlights at all times.
