Getting there & Getting around

Getting there

You can get to Dubrovnik by air from Zagreb, by bus from all over the place, or by ferry from Hvar, Split, Zadar and Rijeka. Ferries are a more expensive but far more comfortable option than catching a bus. Buses must pass through border checkposts at Neum, where Bosnia-Hercegovina reaches the Adriatic coast, truncating Croatia's southern Adriatic coast from the rest of the country.

Getting around

Public transport in Dubrovnik is pretty well limited to buses and taxis. While the taxis are expensive, Dubrovnik's buses run frequently and generally on time. However, by far the best way to get around is under your own steam. So put your best foot forward or get your pedal-pushers on.
