ARRIVING by boat<br />
There are two harbours in Dubrovnik: the centuries-old harbour<br />
snug against the walls of the Old Town, and the commercial<br />
port at Gruž. The Jadrolinija ferry office and quay are at<br />
Gruž, a ten minute bus ride from the Old Town. The port looks<br />
onto the Lapad peninsula, where many of Dubrovnik’s hotels<br />
are located. Getting to town: hop onto an orange bus numbered<br />
1A, 1B, 1C or 3. A ticket for a single trip costs 12 kn if you<br />
buy it from a news kiosk, 15 kn if you buy it from the driver.<br />
Tickets must be validated using the machine next to the driver<br />
immediately upon boarding.<br />

Arrival & Getting Around<br />
ARRIVING by bus<br />
The coach station is a short walk from the ferry terminal at Gruž<br />
with all its amenities. There are frequent services to almost all<br />
Croatian destinations, while international lines mostly head for<br />
Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a handful of buses for cities in<br />
Italy and Montenegro. Coach travel is the quickest and cheapest<br />
choice for those on a budget, but if you’re heading for Zagreb,<br />
check prices with Croatia Airlines first. You may save yourself<br />
some money and a 14 hour journey! Ticket office: open 05:30<br />
- 21:30, tel. 060 30 50 70 for <strong>info</strong>rmation. Changing money:<br />
head east for Gruž harbour, where there are ATMs and exchange<br />
offices. Toilets: inside the terminal, costing 3kn. Left luggage:<br />
the cloakroom (garderoba) works 04:30 - 22:00, 5kn for the first<br />
hour, and 1.50kn per hour thereafter. Public phones are on the<br />
platform. Getting to town: buses to town stop right outside the<br />
station; take line 1A, 1B, or 3. Tickets cost 15kn from the driver or<br />
12kn if you buy them in a kiosk or in a ticket office. Taxis wait by<br />
the platform, or call 0800 09 70.<br />

ARRIVING by car<br />
For the time being, there is a motorway to Ploče (exit Karamatići),<br />
100 km away from Dubrovnik. After the exit just follow signs for<br />
Dubrovnik. Just south of Metković you pass through a corridor<br />
belonging to Bosnia and Herzegovina, so keep your passport or<br />
ID card handy.<br />
