Advice

Dubrovnik is considered one of the safest cities in Europe, making it a confident choice for travellers. While crime is low, petty theft and pickpocketing can occur, so it's wise to remain vigilant and take normal precautions. Avoiding connecting to unknown Wi-Fi networks, using trusted transportation, and being aware of your surroundings can help you have a worry-free visit.

For solo travellers, Dubrovnik is a safe destination, with welcoming locals and plenty of sights to explore independently. Neighbourhoods like Babin Kuk, the Old Town, and Lapad are recommended for their safety and amenities. Public transportation, such as buses, is a reliable way to navigate the city, but be cautious when waiting at stops, especially at night.

Driving

Croatians drive on the right-hand side of the road. Vehicles have steering wheels on the left. All visitors may drive with an international driving licence but do ensure that you have a copy of the driving licence, passport and insurance documents while using the car. Most international car rental companies have offices at airports and all major centres.
