Dubrovnik Airport Transfer — From DBV

Dubrovnik Airport sits 20 kilometres south of the Old Town, near the village of Čilipi. The coastal approach road — the Jadranska Magistrala — is scenic but single-carriageway, and in summer it backs up significantly. Metered taxis from the airport rank are available but charge high rates for the tourist route. A LocalsRide transfer is priced transparently before you land.

Getting from Dubrovnik Airport to the Old Town

The Old Town (Stari Grad) is 20 kilometres north — 25–40 minutes in standard conditions, up to 60 minutes in peak-season traffic. Your driver will drop you as close to your accommodation as the narrow streets allow; many Old Town hotels are a short walk from the nearest vehicle access point. Lapad peninsula hotels are slightly closer at 15–25 minutes.

Beyond Dubrovnik City

Cavtat, a quieter beach resort 5 kilometres from the airport, is one of the shortest transfers on LocalsRide. Ston — gateway to the Pelješac Peninsula and Croatia's best oysters — is 60 kilometres northwest. Montenegro (Kotor) is available as a cross-border transfer, approximately 2 hours south.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a bus from Dubrovnik Airport to the Old Town?

Atlas airport buses run to Pile Gate, the main Old Town entrance. They are inexpensive but do not run late at night, get crowded in summer, and drop you at the gate rather than your hotel address.

Can my driver take me to the Dubrovnik ferry port?

Yes — the Gruz Port ferry terminal is a popular destination from DBV, particularly for passengers connecting to the islands of Hvar, Korčula, or Mljet.
