Public transport has improved, especially in recent years. However, in our opinion there is still a lot to do. The offer is limited to buses only, but, despite this, getting around Dubrovnik is quite simple and intuitive. Of course, there is no shortage of alternatives.
CARS AND SCOOTERS
If your holiday is limited to the city only, we strongly advise against using a car. Especially if you intend to spend most of your time in the Old Town.
Moreover, in the Old Town, car and bus circulation is prohibited. You can easily get around on foot.
A 125cc scooter would really be a great solution. A trip on two wheels, along the splendid coast, will certainly excite you.
GETTING AROUND DUBROVNIK BY BUS
Libertas manages public transport by road. The service is quite efficient and connects, in a widespread manner, the center, the outskirts and the surrounding areas. Often, it happens that you have to deal with some limitations. In any case, if you are not particularly demanding, it is possible to move around Dubrovnik and the surrounding areas, in a simple and economical way.
The bus, in our opinion, is especially suitable for occasional and not too frequent trips.
CITY BUS
The city buses are made up of a fleet of about 70 vehicles, and a total of 10 lines. The service is active every day, including Sundays and holidays, with frequencies ranging from 15 to 30 minutes.
The buses are identified by a progressive number from 1 to 9 (in addition there is line 17). Generally, they operate from early in the morning until late at night. In some cases, the last runs even at midnight.
Most city buses leave from the Pile stop, near the Old Town. The bus station, however, is located near the port, in Obala Ivana Pavla II, about 4 km from Pile.
SUBURBAN LINES
There are 17 suburban lines that operate outside Dubrovnik. The lines are divided into two large areas, depending on the area served. Ideal for moving around Dubrovnik and surrounding areas.
10 lines operate in the area to the east of the city. You can reach Buići, Cavtat, Molunat, Plat, Vitaljina, Vodovada.
7 lines, instead, are active in the area to the west of Dubrovnik. You can reach Brsečine, Imotica, Majkovi, Orebić, Osojnik, Slano, Ston.
DUBROVNIK BUS TICKETS 2025
The 1-hour ticket costs €1.73 per person and is valid for 60 minutes from when it is validated on the vehicle. The 2-ride ticket costs €3.19 and allows you to make two bus trips, each within 30 minutes of validation. The daily ticket costs €5.31 and allows you to make unlimited trips for 24 hours from validation. The 72-hour ticket, on the other hand, costs €11.92.
Tickets can be purchased at the ticket offices, in local currency. For the record, we point out that some have complained about difficulty finding them. Alternatively, you can buy them directly on board the vehicle. In these cases, however, it shows €2.50 instead of €1.73!
GETTING AROUND DUBROVNIK BY TAXI
In our opinion, not the right way to get around Dubrovnik. They are recommended for moving from the Port, or the airport, to the old city, and vice versa. They are generally not expensive, but it is advisable to check the cost in advance and, if necessary, agree.
