DUBROVNIK, CROATIA (2023) | 10 BEST Things To Do In & Around Dubrovnik
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 06. 2024
- Dubrovnik is located in the south of Croatia and is relatively isolated from the rest of the country due to a small nook of Bosnia & Herzegovina that intersects the land connection. For centuries, Dubrovnik was an independent republic thriving through extensive trade with other maritime ports. However, the city also suffered attacks, of which the early 90’s war was the most devastating one. Today, Dubrovnik is considered the most picturesque city on the Dalmatian coast thanks to its stunning architecture, beautiful scenery, and ancient walls that once protected the republic. In this video, we highlight 10 of the best things to do in and around Dubrovnik:

Thanks for posting about Croatia. I was doing a little research on a why NCL include as a port stop and had no idea how beautiful this place is. Unfortunately I was basing this off of the movie "Behind Enemy Lines" before I came across your video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Dubrovnik is an awesome place to visit
Very nice place
It really is!
Lord willing I'll be there on 11/18. My 1st visit.... Can't wait!
Enjoy your visit! It’s going to be a quiet time to visit as the tourist season kinda ends around the end of October 😉
Nice
Impressive video
Thanks ☺️
Going to Dubrovnik, but staying on Kalamota island, day trips back to the city for sure.
Enjoy!
Thanks for sharing! Just wondering how many days would you recommend for staying in Dubrovnik? Thanks!
Theres actually a bridge now that bypasses Bosnia ... so its not isolated from the rest of Croatia anymore :)
Yes we used that bridge! Definitely better than crossing the border though it’s a bit of a drive. You’re right that it’s not isolated in that way, but geographically it does look isolated from the rest of the country!
It's "isolated" because it actually does not belong to Croatia.

I was going to skip Dubrovnik, and I'm so glad I watched your video. The viewpoints you had are the most beautiful and scenic of Dubrovnik I have seen in all my research. Thank you. May I ask how did you reach the old town hidden viewpoint you mention and show at 9:55? Where did you walk from to get there? Thanks,
We really liked Dubrovnik! The coordinates to the viewpoint can be found in our blog under 2. Take In Views From Fort Lovrijenac: www.worldwildhearts.com/post/dubrovnik-croatia We just mapped it on Google Maps and then walked up the stairs / roads to the viewpoint from the Old Town
excellently described but I would add that Tivat(montenegro) has the best microclimate in every sense. Especially enjoyment for families, active vacations and hedonism. Preseason and postseason are the best options. Hiking on the Vrmac, tennis courts, open gym, padel courts, water sports, enjoying resorts, cafes with the most delicious food, beautiful nature. Humane place, according to man. We stayed for a month in Mia Casa apartments, a little separated from the center and yet close (with a view of the bay). Beautiful, spacious, we only hear crickets and enjoy the shade of the kiwi. Tivat, grade 10+
Thanks for the extra info!
Thank you for the this amazing coverage, the city looks vibrant and touristic, Is there a train to take from Zeghreb to Dubrovnik or from Split to Dubrovnik? How's the weather in February?
Hii there's actually no trains in dubrovnik! But you could take a train from zagreb to split and then you could go by bus to dubrovnik!
Dubrovnik is a great place to visit! Especially during shoulder season. We weren’t there in February, but found this information about the weather then: “Dubrovnik weather in February is quite mild and enjoyable, although you'll still need to pack some warm clothes for the cooler weather in the evening. The average daytime temperature is around 9°C with mild seawater temperatures of 14°C.” In terms of getting from Split to Dubrovnik, there are no trains but there are buses and taxis. Here’s a link for more options to travel between the two places: www.rome2rio.com/map/Split/Dubrovnik

I love you Dalmatien
We love it too!
We are going in April. Thank you for such a beautiful video. I have never traveled internationally. What are your suggestions for a sim card do I wait to buy one until I get there?
Hmmm that’s a tough question! I’d say it’s best to buy it upon arrival in the airport. They usually have a booth where you can buy a SIM card. Not sure how much data you’ll get, it’s usually not very much. But the WiFi in Croatia was pretty stable and fast so you’ll only need it on the road
Get one in the Telenor shop in town. Or, you can get a mobile wifi hub with a card as well. That way you can call using Whatsapp or Facetime. Most cafes and restaurants will also offer free wifi (though it’s usually bad).
If you are travelling on your own you should definately also visit the Konavle Valley just south of Dubrovnik and the aurport which has a lot of nice traditional restaurants. You should then go into Montenegro and see the Bay of Kotor which is absolutely stunning. Stay in the town of Herceg Novi and take a boat excursion from there to Kotor (rather than staying in Kotor). If you have time for Bosnia you should also go to Trebinje which is a cozy little town just on the other side of the border which is the centre of a great wine growing region.

Where can I find the map with all the destinations shown in the video?😊 This was so helpful as somebody planning to go next month. U made a tourists day. :)
Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful.. we have a map with all the places in our blog post: www.worldwildhearts.com/post/dubrovnik-croatia
definitely recommend renting a yacht for the day to explore more beaches and caves you wouldnt be able to access with just a kayak 😊
That's a great idea!

Thanks for watching!😁
Just returned from Dubrovnik and my endearing memory is not being able to park anywhere, be it in the old town or elsewhere. Other than that, what an adventure!
Haha I can imagine!!
Yeah they should bulldoze some of the old town to make way for some parking! Just like back home!
Amazing video! Also watched your Split and Zadar, as my husband and I are planning a trip this September and October (2024) (5+weeks). Do you use a drone for some of your videos, if so, any recommends as to the type ... and any rules and regulations need for Croatia.
Thank you again for sharing your amazing trip and all the information.
For all EU countries you need a permit these days. Need to apply online! We have a DJI mini 3 and love it as it's compact to travel with. Here's more info on drone use in Croatia: drone-laws.com/drone-laws-in-croatia/
@@worldwildhearts Thank you so very much for your info. :-).
I'm going for the first time in June
Hope you enjoyed your time!
We’re going in April this year! We’re staying in Mlini but will visit Dubrovnik. Any recommendations for a good taxi company?
We didn't take taxis there ourselves since we mainly walked all around the area. But we would recommend asking your hotel or airbnb host. The locals will have a great insight into what works best in their area. Have a great time in Dubrovnik!
Very informative videos, planning out trip from Split to Dubrovnik, whart do you recommend for transportation, ferry, or bus? What did you use to travel to Dubrovnik?
We had a rental car for the majority of our trip in Croatia. However, you can't use a car in Dubrovnik itself so will need to park it somewhere and leave it for the days. It's also fairly easy to travel by bus between destinations in Croatia.
Good summary. You missed three day trips though:
1. Trebinje - nicer and closer than Mostar with great wineries and a cozy old town
2. Konavle valley - just south of the airport its a green oasis with lots of nice traditional restaurants
3. Herceg Novi - just over the border in Montenegro it’s built on a slope and offers wonderful views of the opening of the Bay of Kotor. It has three castles and is offers a less busy seaside experience compared to Dubrovnik.
Awesome tips! Thanks for adding them in the description so others can also see and enjoy them 👍
Show some gratitude young man, he has put this together for free and appears to be an alpha male
Great video, are these your drone shots?
Yes they are!
@@worldwildhearts amazing. I always feel worried to take my drone to foreign countries, in touristy areas. What advice would you give? I think that would make a great video !
Hi there, I’m going Croatia In April and was wanting to find out if they have Quad bikes / Buggy’s I can hire out there?
I don't think in Dubrovnik, there's not really the space for that... but maybe more outside of the city in smaller towns or coastal towns it could be possible?
Dubrovnik was attacked twice by the Orthodox once in the early 19th century (Russians & Montenegrins) and again in the late 20th century (1991) by Serbs and Montenegrins. Both times they failed to breach the walls but were content to pillage and loot the surrounding countryside.
Can you book day trips to Bosnia and Montenegro while in the city?
Yes absolutely! There are many tour companies in Dubrovnik that offer such tours.
Just wondering, what time of the year did you visit? It looks a little dry
This was at the end of October 2022! It was indeed dry… we visited Croatia for about 2-3 weeks and didn’t have one day of rain! But that’s definitely not a guarantee at that time of the year
If you have 11 days, whats the best itinerary for croatia island hopping (including dubrovnik of course) thank you.
Day 1 & 2 - Dubrovnik
Day 3 & 4 - Hvar Island
Day 5 - Split (Old Town)
Day 6 - Krka National Park (Day Trip from Split)
Day 7 - Blue Cave on Bisevo Island (Day Trip from Split)
Day 8 & 9 - Zadar
Day 10 - Plitvice Lakes National Park (Day Trip from Zadar)
@@worldwildhearts thanks for your reply. Are all these places you listed close enough together to travel to by ferry?? Thanks again
How many days would I need to see things as well as chill. I am domociled in Istanbul and have weekends off and some longer holidays. Is it safe for a single woman?
Definitely safe. No worries there. I think maybe 5 days is good? We were there for over a week but also had lots of time to relax
Any advice where to stay, cheap but good, in summer? haha its all so expensive for me
We stayed a bit outside the old town, but still walkable. It was way more affordable than most places and had everything we needed (even kitchen and utensils, outdoor terrace, and washing machine). You can find it in our blog post: www.worldwildhearts.com/post/dubrovnik-croatia
Beautiful it’s BUT way too crowded. October in the city feels like summer with the hot weather and the crowd.
Really? We also visited at the end of October last year and it was soooo quiet 😅
What is the company you used to travel to Mostar? Thanks
Select Dubrovnik d.o.o. seems to be the company! We booked it online in advance (you can find the link in the description)
How long do you recommend for staying in Dubrovnik?
I think 3 days is enough! We stayed 8 days but we also took it slow :)
Were there any rules or forms to fill out in order to fly your drone? I’m going in a few months and want to fly my drone! Also what month did you go? Weather looks lovely
We went at the end of October and were so lucky with the weather in Croatia. We did fill out paperwork to fly our drone!
@@worldwildhearts Nice I’m going beginning October! Where can I find the paperwork to fill out? I’ll be taking mine with me haha
I am going at the end of October not sure which city to go for 4 days
You can google it online! There’s a few websites with all the info about “flying a drone in Croatia”
Depends on what you want to see ☺️ there’s many beautiful cities in Croatia
Where is the Kotor video you said about in the video ?
It's coming out next month! We haven't been able to upload it yet... very busy!
@@worldwildhearts can't wait to see that
What is the name. Of the song in the intro?
You can find all the names of the songs we used in the description below the video! They’re in order
How many days do I need?
At least 3 days we think!
Schengen works for Bosnia ?
No it’s not part of the Schengen zone. When we visited, neither was Croatia. Only since last January they joined the Schengen area
Did u go in end of Oct?
Yes we did!
@@worldwildhearts how’s the weather ? will be there 14-18 October was worried with the rain :)
Very hard to predict! We had the most beautiful weather… around 20-25C and sunny for the 2.5 weeks we were there. But our hosts also told us we were lucky as it can be more rainy… every year is different
@@worldwildhearts thanks for sharing I will take the risk
population of dubrovnik was always croatian...all popular writers declare themself as croatian
How much is for cable car? Please?
I think it's 15€ one-way or 27€ round-trip (for adult)
@@worldwildhearts Thank you.
How is it so calm when you went there lol?😅
It was the end of October! It was very very calm and we had the best time 😍

Dubrovnik follows Venice as another victim of cruise ships and mass tourism.
Visiting during shoulder season helps!
Why you skip Trebinje?
Ohhhh…. Pitty you missed nudist beach at Lokrum island😎
😅
I can’t believe that they charge tourists to walk the city wall. The city is open to walk in a public place and should be free. The tourist industry make their money with restaurants and souvenirs.
Most historical monuments require lots of maintenance though… and the walls are pretty special, people want to preserve it and keep it the way it is which takes some efforts
I think they want to limit the number of people who walks the walls.
Well, fun fact (that Croatia not mentions to tourists) is: - Dubrovnik was never part of Croatia until ww2 😁
Yes it was a small free state for so long! They explain all of that during the free walking tour ☺️
@@worldwildhearts oh, good guide then ;)
@@zelimir1002 population of dubrovnik was always croatian...all popular writers declare themself as croatian
@@dropbox-yr3tg population of Dubrovnik was never Croatian. Official language of Dubrovnik was Latin until XVI century. Administrative documents were written in Latin and Serbian official languages of Dubrovnik.
Whole mainland around Dubrovnik is ethnic Serbian theritories.
Dubrovnik people speak serbian STOKAVICA dialect..... Not croatian CAKAVICA dialect.
Just facts.
@@zelimir1002 population of dubrovnik was always croatian. and the language was croatian language what writers like ivan gundulic or rudjer boskovic proof, also the documents of arab traveller al-idrissi in the 12. cenutry who describe dubrovnik people as croatian
STOKAVICA is croatian, serbian language didnt even exist back then, serbs poke TORLAKIAN (bulgarian) until 1851
also dubrovnik has european architecture and was always european while all of serbia and montenegro has clear middle eastern architecture and culture since serbs are more related to middle eastern then to europeans, unlike croats who are clear europeans.
So, old town= tourist trap+ handicapable free, got it.
AristoCATS?? 😂😅😜
😂
Things to do in Dubrovnik should not include leaving Dubrovnik WTF
Title says “in and AROUND”. Not just in
They say that Dubrovnik got it's name from the Serbian word 'Djubre', hence becoming Djubrovnik, before the locals ironed it out! Djubre means stinky sh** referring to the muddy & stinky nature of both bays during heavy rains..
That's a very funny fact!
Still is more Cleaner then any serbian city and gets more Tourists then serbia in his whole history
@@enerwagner2876 Dubrovnik region is full of sunken deltas. Also the Adriatic Sea around the Neretva river used to go as far as the Popovo Valley in todays Bosnia (at the back of today's Dubrovnik).
So the name Djubre or Djubria for waste land/ marshland makes sense.

@@rijeka345 Pa teorija je super. Sta je lose tu?! Ime se poklapa sa regijom & narodom u njoj.... Djubria!!!

Dubrovnik is only for Tourist from Europe and All world , i am from Croatia and this is not for me, 10 euro for caffe no Thanks
We visited at the end of October and it was so quiet over there! We really liked our time in Dubrovnik, the locals were so friendly too. 😍 We didn't spend too much money on food and drinks as we mainly cooked in our little appartment!
Dubrovnik was a independent republic always!!! never bean in croatia!! 1990 nato and germany push Dubrovnik to croatia!!
Dubrovniks population identified as Croatian since the dissolution of Dubrovnik Republic in 1808. For all of the foreigners reading this, now you can see what lovely Serbian neighbours we have. They always do this, push themsleves on everyone and claim every city is Serbian. They managed to destroy their relations with everyone with their "greater Serbia" bs, even Montenegrins who sticked with them until 2006 now hate them. They are like Russia of Balkans, always trying to force themselves upon their neighbours and steal their culture cause they themselves don't have anything nice. Back in 1991 they bombed Dubrovnik and tried to destroy the pretty town just cause they can't have it. Weird nation
Very informative and lovely video thanks guys I head there in a few days.
Thanks! 🤩 enjoy your trip! It’ll be so quiet there right now
