Dubrovnik, Jewel of the Adriatic: A Complete Travel Guide
Best time to visit
The best time to visit Dubrovnik for a city trip is during the shoulder seasons of late spring (May to early June) or early fall (September to October). Here's why:
✨ Perfect weather
These months offer mild, sunny weather with pleasant temperatures, perfect for walking around the Old Town, exploring the city walls, and relaxing by the sea. You’ll avoid the intense summer heat, which can be overwhelming for sightseeing.
✨ Fewer crowds
Dubrovnik is a popular destination, and during the peak summer months (July and August), the city can get quite crowded with tourists and cruise ship visitors. Visiting in May, June, September, or October allows you to experience the city's charm with fewer people around, making it more enjoyable and less stressful.
✨ Better prices
Accommodation and flight prices tend to be lower outside of the summer peak, so traveling in spring or fall can be more budget-friendly.
