Using Public Transport In Dubrovnik

Getting around Dubrovnik is very easy using a public transport, in fact city buses run by Libertas. You can get from one side of the town to another in only 15 minutes.

13 bus lines (1A, 1B, 2, 2A, 3, 3A, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 17) operate within the city while regular bus service is available for the areas south and north of Dubrovnik (such as Cavtat, Srebreno, Plat, Zaton, Ston, Orebic, Brsecine etc). These lines are operated by modern air-conditioned orange buses that start running at about 5 a.m. and stops at around midnight.

Those travelling to other destinations within Croatia (Makarska, Split, Sibenik, Zadar, Plitvice, Zagreb etc) or abroad (Mostar, Sarajevo, Herceg Novi, Tivat, Budva etc) should head to Main bus station to catch one of many intercity buses.

If you are thinking about exploring areas south and north of Dubrovnik, consider hiring a car for a day (to visit Cavtat, Mlini, Trsteno, Ston and Peljesac peninsula).
