Luxury Apartment Libertas is a 4-star hotel in Dubrovnik.

The Old Town itself is entirely walkable and entirely pedestrianised — Stradun is 300 m end to end from Pile to Ploče gate. Between neighbourhoods it's less obvious: Old Town to Lapad is 4 km with a steep hill in the middle, so most people take bus 6 for 15 minutes. Pile to Gruž port is a walkable 2.5 km downhill but you'll want the bus back up. Inside the walls, expect stairs — streets north of Stradun like Prijeko and Ulica od Sigurate are stepped, which matters if you have luggage or mobility issues.

Not any more — the Pelješac Bridge opened in July 2022 and removed the need to cross the 9 km Neum corridor to reach Split, Ston or Pelješac. The Bosnian border stop used to add 30–60 minutes each way and is now bypassed entirely on the D8 coastal route. Neum itself is only worth stopping for cheap fuel and duty-free spirits, not sightseeing. If you want a genuine Bosnia day trip from Dubrovnik, go to Mostar (140 km, about 2h 30) rather than Neum, and take your passport plus the car's green card insurance document.

Ploče or Pile — both sit within a 5-minute walk of the Old Town gates but let you avoid the stairs and luggage haul inside the walls. Ploče has the upscale sea-view hotels like the Excelsior and Grand Villa Argentina plus direct access to Banje beach, while Pile is cheaper and closer to the Libertas bus stops for Lapad and Gruž. If it's your first trip and you want to be on Stradun before the cruise crowds arrive at 9am, these two areas make that easy. Old Town itself works too but expect to climb steps with your suitcase.

November is the cheapest month with functioning hotels, with Old Town 4-stars from around €90 and many Lapad properties closed. February is similarly cheap outside the Feast of St Blaise weekend on 3 February, when the town fills and rates jump. If you want to actually swim and use ferries to Mljet and the Elaphiti, the cheapest usable month is late April or the first half of May, roughly 40% below August prices. Avoid the last week of October if Croatia is playing a home football fixture, which sometimes distorts weekend availability.

Four nights is the realistic minimum to see the Old Town properly, walk the 1,940 m walls, take a boat to Mljet or the Elaphiti islands, and get a day on Pelješac for Ston oysters and wine. Three nights works if you cut either the islands or the peninsula, and two nights only makes sense as a cruise-style stopover. A week lets you add Korčula Town as an overnight and a proper beach day in Cavtat or Lopud. Anything beyond ten nights is better split with a base change to Lapad, Cavtat or an island.
