Location and neighbourhood
The working harbour: cruise terminal, ferry port, main bus station and the city's best market. Practical rather than pretty — but unbeatable for early ferries and cruise turnarounds.

Getting there
- Airport transfer
- Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) is 23 km away — around 30 minutes by private transfer in normal traffic. Times can be longer with border traffic, road works, accidents or summer congestion between 11:00 and 14:00. See airport transfer options.
- Taxi / Uber estimate
- Old Town ≈ 11 min · Cruise port (Gruž) ≈ 4 min · Airport ≈ 30 min. Uber operates in Dubrovnik but surges on cruise days and after midnight — a fixed private price is usually steadier. Check fare estimates.
