The Best Time to Visit Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik has a true Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters and most tourists visit the town from April to October, but you can visit it during the whole year – there’s no cold winters and snow.

The main season is in July and August but if you prefer more intimate holiday without big crowd, you should avoid these two months when many visitors from the cruising ships are in town. That’s why the best time for visiting Dubrovnik is the end of April and May in spring, and late September and October in autumn, when the weather is still warm and beautiful and streets are less crowded with people.

Although Dubrovnik is a year-round destination, some hotels are closed from November through March, and some restaurants take the whole January  off. When it comes to get to Dubrovnik, you have less options in the winter if you want to fly directly from European cities to Dubrovnik Airport but you have always flights from Zagreb operated by Croatia Airlines, daily, year-round.

Accommodation in Dubrovnik – Where to Stay

In Dubrovnik the accommodation is absolutely fantastic and superb – from 5 stars luxury hotels (the new ones or renovated old villas from rich Dubrovnik’s history) to unique apartments and rooms in Mediterranean ambience with breathtaking views to Adriatic Sea.

Since Dubrovnik is one of the world’s most popular destinations, it’s likely to find an expensive accommodation, although there are lots of affordable staying options as well. The hotels are very comfortable, many very rich in luxury decorations and historical details and ambience, so the price can get pretty high.

The choice of affordable apartments or rooms is excellent and you can find many options fitting into your budget, especially if you decide to stay in Dubrovnik’s surroundings instead of the old town – and you can take that as an advantage: it’s more relaxed vacation, away from crowd but close to every location and numerous beaches since the whole region is small and distances are very short.
