Long distance coaches
Since there’s no train station in Dubrovnik, the long
distance coach has long been the best way to travel to
cities in Croatia and abroad. There are frequent services
to almost all Croatian destinations, while international
lines mostly head for Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a
handful of buses for cities in Italy and Montenegro. Coach
travel is the quickest and cheapest choice for those on a
budget, but if you’re heading for Zagreb, check prices with
Croatia Airlines first. You may save yourself some money
and a 14 hour journey!

Public transport
The orange city buses are run by Libertas (hooray,
freedom!). You’ll be amazed how efficient and clean they
are. They connect the coach station and Gruž harbour
with the Old Town and hotels on Lapad, and take you to
Cavtat in the south of the county, and Pelješac in the
north. See the company’s website (sorry, no English)
or any number of placards or fliers in the city for a
route map. Tickets for journeys within the city cost 8kn
from news kiosks (10kn from the driver) and must be
cancelled in the ticket-stamping machines immediately
on boarding. Out-of-town routes cost a little bit more
(the journey to Cavtat for example costs 12kn each
way) and tickets are bought from the driver. www.

Taxi
Eugen Miljan
The easiest and simplest way to get a cab is to call 0800
1441 or 970 otherwise you’ll find them on the following
ranks: Pile, Main Coach Station, Gruž Harbour,
Ploče, Lapad. There are no night supplements, you’ll
always pay an 25kn start, 8kn per kilometre, 2kn per
baggage item and 80kn per hour for waiting.
Train
Amazing but true, the railway system does not serve
Dubrovnik. Inter-railers may consider the Zagreb-Ploče train,
travelling via Bosnia and Herzegovina and visiting towns such
as Banja Luka, Mostar and Sarajevo. Normal people would
probably prefer to avoid this 13-hour odyssey and travel to
Split, then continue south by coach, especially since the
Zagreb-Split fast train now takes less than six hours, or you
can take the sleeper.
Drivers can rest up and escape tourist traffic by loading their
car on a night train at 22:55 (178kn-288kn) travelling to Split
and then continuing south. However, since the Zagreb-Split
motorway has reduced journey times from to about 5 hours
(traffic permitting), many people choose to drive or take the
coach. A final touring option is the Ploče-Sarajevo-Osijek-
Budapest route, which takes the best part of 17 hours.
