Tips for hotels stays in Dubrovnik
Book your Dubrovnik hotel well in advance, especially for summer visits, as the city is a popular destination and the best properties fill up quickly.
Consider staying in Lapad or Montovjerna if you want a quieter base with easy access to the sea, while Old Town and Ploče put you in the heart of the action.
Check whether your hotel offers airport transfers or is near public transport, as parking in Dubrovnik can be challenging and expensive.
Pack comfortable walking shoes, as Dubrovnik's old streets are pedestrian-only and many hotels are set on hills or within the walls.
If you're visiting in peak season, look for hotels with air conditioning and a pool, as temperatures can be high and a cool dip is welcome after a day of sightseeing.
