A part of Dubrovnik, Gruz, which is located about 2 km west of the Old Town, could be the ideal choice when choosing accommodation. 

The port is situated there from where you can take a ferry or catamaran to the nearby Elaphite islands, which are an ideal destination for a day trip by boat.

The ferries to Mljet, Korcula, Hvar, Brac and Split as well Bari, in Italy, also set off from here. Boats on Mediterranean cruises also anchor at this port. 

At the end of Gruz is the bus station with bus connections to all the big towns in Croatia as well as some abroad. A shuttle bus to the airport with departures all day long also leaves from this station.

In the port building (a large building with the sign 'Port of Dubrovnik' opposite the Hotel Petka) is the Tourist Office where you can find a lot of information connected to Dubrovnik as well as buy the Dubrovnik Card with which you can save money during your trip to Dubrovnik.
