Shore Excursions - Dubrovnik

Published by admin | Filed under Travel and Leisure

The tourist season in Croatia has kicked off with a good start. Over the next couple of months the life on the Adriatic coast becomes one hectic beehive.

Down in the deep south, Dubrovnik becomes an open stage where the rich, the famous, the wannabees mingle together during Dubrovnik Festival and where joy and laughter can be heard at every street corner. What is more, the life in the Old Town never ceases to stop. The hordes of night birds are replaced by ever excited tourists from the visiting cruisers. Mesmerizing looks on their faces are truly justifying Bernard Shaw’s famous sentence comparing Dubrovnik to paradise.
City wall walk is on a must to do list of every cruiser tourist. Do not forget to take some water with you as the heat can get the better of you. Also, remember that you can safely withdraw local currency (kunas) from ATMs and what is more you can use your card safely at POS terminals.

What I would like to add is that you can enrich your experience by booking Srdj Hill panoramic viewing of the Old Town and perhaps you can treat yourself with a trip to Cavtat. This town is an ideal for a spot of lunch or just for soaking up the local way of life. Try to book these in advance. They are run by small travel tours companies which go an extra mile of providing a service with an individual approach which allows you to stop at any given place at any given moment to enjoy a view or whatever else catches your attention.

A large number of cruiser tourists are Americans and for those among you who are religious and want to make a pilgrimage to Medjugorje, rest assured that this trip is feasible. You would be required to take your passports and with an early 8 o’clock start, you could be back at 16.00 hours, just in time to board your ship.

A friendly piece of advice for those wishing to take Dubrovnik Panorama by taxi. Make sure your driver speaks good English and also note that a few of these drivers are proud owners of mini-buses and passenger vans. It pays off to make these queries in order too get a value for money price and I am sure that asking some of your fellow cruisers to join you, providing the cost is split equally, is a welcoming gesture.
