BEYOND THE OLD CITY
When you wish to take a break from the historic core, explore nearby coastal neighborhoods.
- Lapad - a scenic peninsula known for its seaside promenade, beautiful beaches, and vibrant yet laid-back atmosphere. Strolling along the coast, you can enjoy sunset views over the bay, stop at charming cafés or beach bars, and simply soak in the rhythm of everyday life by the Adriatic.
- Gruž - presents a more local, working port vibe. As the city’s main harbor, it is the starting point for ferries and yacht trips to nearby islands. Here, visitors can witness the daily life of Dubrovnik’s residents, explore the bustling fish and produce market, and feel the authentic maritime spirit that defines the city. Together
Lapad and Gruž provide a perfect balance of relaxation, local culture, and connection to the sea, offering a refreshing contrast to the historic Old Town. Ideal for yachting enthusiasts and sea lovers.
