Dubrovnik Tips!

• The port is a long 45 minute walk into the city centre. Possibly too long and too much time.
  It is mostly uphill and not a particularly scenic walk passing through residential appartments and industrial units

• If the Marella Explorer docks under the Franjo Tuđman bridge, it is quite a walk just to the exit to the port!

• Sometimes there are as many as 4 cruise ships in at one time in the port of Dubrovnik, so if this happens you can expect crowds!

• You can take a boat from the far end of the dock into Dubrovnik, which has great views
  

• There is a bus service running from just outside the port to the centre and its cheap 1.5 Euros - 10 minute ride but it may be very crowded! A taxi might be better! 10 Euros for 4 people, make sure you agree on a price.

• You can walk (200 meters) to the Main Bus Station where buses 1, 1a, 1b, 3 and 8 will take you to Brsalje Square right by the Pile Gate, which is the main entrance to the Old Town

• There is also a similar bus service (No 8 bus) which drops off near the cable car
  

• Buy bus tickets beforehand at the small kiosk by the gates - you cannot buy tickets on the buses themselves. Buy return tickets for
  1 Euro

• Taxis cost €13.00 per car to the old town one way

• Tipping is not expected in Croatia but a 'please keep the change' gesture will be very much appreciated. It is recommended by some to have at least 25.00 worth Euros each, per day in Dubronik. Smaller denominations are more useful

• If we do the cable car ride,  we need to get there very early - probably first thing in the morning

• TUI do a cable car excursion which is a lot more expensive but avoids the queues

• When you return from cable car you head down to old town then go through the harbour wall to the water and small port in Dubrovnik it is beautiful. Just before it there is a little museum / room displaying information about the war in 1992 including photographs of all the fallen soldiers worth a look and free

• The taxi rank is 500 yds turning right as you leave the dockyard if we want to use the taxis
