If you’re looking for local Dubrovnik travel tips, you’ve come to the right place. Inspired by my Croatian heritage, I originally came to Dubrovnik 8 years ago to study abroad. Now I have been living here full-time for the past 6 years, and my partner and I founded Mindful Travel Croatia.

Dubbed the “pearl of the Adriatic”, Dubrovnik blends terracotta vistas from the UNESCO-protected Old Town with the stunning backdrop of the Adriatic Sea. The city has a rich history of being a former republic, maintaining its independence through maritime trade for 500 years.

I would recommend staying in Dubrovnik for a minimum of 3 days, and more if you plan on taking day trips.

Top sites to see in Dubrovnik:

Accommodation in Dubrovnik

Booking.com

From rental apartments to 5 star hotels, there’s no shortage of accommodation in Dubrovnik. If you’re looking for more value, I would recommend booking a rental apartment. For a more luxury experience, I would recommend booking any of the 4 and 5 star hotels around town.

The best areas to stay in Dubrovnik are Ploče and Pile (directly outside the Old Town) or in Lapad, which is about a 20 minute walk to the Old City. Alternatively, check out the areas of Župa (7 km from the Old Town) and Cavtat (16 km from the Old Town).
