Dubrovnik Public Transport: Why Taking the Bus in Dubrovnik Can Be a Better Idea.

If you’re visiting Dubrovnik by car, there’s one thing worth knowing: parking near the Old Town is limited, expensive, and during the summer finding a free space can be difficult.

It’s often much easier to leave your car at your hotel or apartment and use the Libertas city buses.

🚌 Libertas buses connect the Old Town with Lapad, Babin Kuk, Gruž and other parts of Dubrovnik.

🎟 You can buy your ticket in advance at Libertas sales points or directly on the bus.

💳 You can pay by bank card on the bus, so there’s no need to worry about having cash.

📍 Going to the Old Town? Look for Pile Gate (Vrata od Pila) — one of the main bus stops, located just a few steps from the entrance to the historic centre.

📱 Our best tip: download the Libertas App.

It makes getting around Dubrovnik much easier. You can check routes and bus stops, find the nearest stop, see where your bus is and check its expected arrival time in real time.

The app is available for iPhone and Android.

During the busy summer season, when traffic around the Old Town gets heavier and parking becomes a challenge, taking the bus is often the simplest option.

Leave the car behind and save your time for Dubrovnik.
