Dubrovnik

The arrival at Dubrovnik is beautiful. There are two options for the ship in this stop. If she sets anchor near the old port you’ll enjoy the views and save the money of the shuttle service to the city center, because you’ll disembark by tender. The port is in the opposite side of the bay and it’s difficult to go from the ship to Dubrovnik by foot.
This stop is usually quite short, because the next one is usually Venice, the end of most of the cruises, and is 16 hours away.
The shuttle service will leave you near the Pile Gate, the main entrance to the old city. If you arrive with the ships tenders, you’ll be landing at the old port, on the other side of the town
Dubrovnik's currency is the Kuna. One euro is more or less 7,5 kunas. Because Dubrovnik is accustomed to receiving many cruise ships you will not have problems paying in euro (also your coins).

OFFICIAL TOURS. There are few options in this destination and most of them are panoramic tours and a visit to the city center

ALTERNATIVES. Do the same but on our own. Walking through the old town of Dubrovnik is very nice and the city is beautiful. It's best to wander round every corner starting from Stradun. The walk can take about an hour and two of our time.
You can also walk through the fortification around Dubrovnik. The access is near the Pile Gate and you pay about 50 kunas (adults) or 20 kunas (children). There is another less crowded access near the Old Port.
