TRANSPORTATION BY CAR - GENERAL INFO

Arrival

Traveling by car is a great way to visit Dubrovnik, because it gives you the freedom to explore Dubrovnik Region as well. There are numerous places and towns to be seen and a variety of things to be done. If you plan to stay in a hotel, private accommodation or camp you might experience parking difficulties in Dubrovnik due to limited parking spaces available. If you are concerned about this issue, check with your accommodation provider, esspecialy if the accommodation unit is located in or around the Old Town of Dubrovnik.

OOOPS, my car is gone

If it happens that your car disappears from the place you remember leaving it, dont panic at once. Dubrovnik has a car towing service (popularly called the spider ) which towes cars that are misplaced (wrongly parked) to a special location where you can pick them up after paying a fine.

Since parking, especially around the Old Town can be a real adventure during summer, we recommend that you use public transportation. Dubrovnik has a good public transportation system with busses regularly going to and from the Old Town.

Towing Service - DUBROVNIK PARKING "Pauk" sluzba
Lichtenseinov put Gospino polje, tel:+385 20 331 016, Work hours: 0-24h

In order to be prepared, here are some locations for parking lots in Dubrovnik.

 

Dubrovnik Region

Exploring the Dubrovnik Region is a great way to enrich your travel experience. Regular public transportation will take you to most places worth seeing. Sometimes it is wise to buy tickets in advance, depending on where you wish to go. Ask your host, tourist information offices or at the main bus terminal in Gru for more information. Timetables for regular bus lines and to destinations most interesting to tourists are here.

Gasoline

Gas stations are generally open from 7 am to 7 or 8 PM every day; in the summer season, working hours are extended until 10 PM. On-duty Gas Stations in bigger cities and on main international roads are open 24 hours. All pumps sell Eurosuper 95, Super 98, Normal and Eurodiesel.
