24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours & Beyond in Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik in 1 Day (24 Hours)

Is 1 day in Dubrovnik enough? Not really. Unless you are using Dubrovnik as a transit point or have been here before, you are making a mistake to stay only one night. We’re not knocking it. But that’s our honest opinion. Dubrovnik has so much more to offer.

Dubrovnik in 2 days (48 Hours)

Is 2 days enough in Dubrovnik? It’s a start! You’ll see the major sights, have some wonderful meals, and perhaps wish that you were staying a bit longer. But that’s OK. You can always come back!

Dubrovnik in 3 days (72 Hours)

Is 3 days enough in Dubrovnik? Now you’re talking! You’ll have the time to relax and enjoy this amazing fortified town by the sea. Plus you can try multiple flavours at your favourite gelato place.

Dubrovnik in 4 days and Beyond!

Is 4 days in Dubrovnik too much? Honestly, we’re a bit biased. We meant to spend a couple nights here 2o years ago… So do with that information what you will. But we think you are on the right track. Travel can be exhausting and stressful. Why not spend less time moving about and more time experiencing and enjoying a place as best you can? They say that Dubrovnik can be a tourist trap and not worthy of more than a couple days stay. We are tormented by that description because it can be so true (if you don’t know any better). But for us, this is one of those special places in the world. If you’ve already spent three nights in Dubrovnik, you’ve seen the major attractions, had some great meals, relaxed and enjoyed the sea, explored nearby islands or towns. Now you can explore! Go on some adventures, eat local specialities at family run restaurants in nearby villages, embark on great day trips to nearby Cavtat, Mostar in Bosnia, or Kotor in Montenegro, take a speedboat to the island of Mljet or enjoy a magical meal on the island of Sipan. You’re in for a treat!
