🛍️ What’s Open on Sundays in Dubrovnik?

Spending Sunday in Dubrovnik? There is one important thing to know: Sunday shopping in Croatia works differently from the rest of the week.

🛒 Shops & supermarkets

Most shops are generally closed on Sundays. However, retailers can choose a limited number of Sundays during the year when they open, so you may still find some supermarkets and shops operating — particularly during the tourist season.

Opening Sundays vary from one shop to another, so always check the specific location before you go.

If you need groceries or other essentials, the safest option is to buy them on Saturday.

⛽ What can still be open?

There are exceptions to the Sunday trading restrictions. You may find shops operating at places such as:

• petrol stations
• bus stations
• airports and ferry ports
• hotels
• some kiosks and other exempt locations

🍽️ Restaurants, cafés & bars

Restaurants, cafés and bars generally operate on Sundays in Dubrovnik, particularly in and around the Old Town during the tourist season.

Opening hours vary, so check the individual venue if you are planning to visit somewhere specific.

🏛️ Attractions & museums

Sunday does not mean you have to stop sightseeing. Many of Dubrovnik’s attractions, museums and cultural sites operate on Sundays.

Opening hours can change throughout the year, so check the attraction’s official website before visiting.

💊 Need a pharmacy?

Some pharmacies may be closed or have reduced Sunday hours. If you urgently need medication, look for the duty pharmacy (dežurna ljekarna) operating that day.

💡 Our tip

Don’t assume everything will be closed on Sunday — but don’t leave essential shopping until the last minute either.

Check opening hours before you go, buy essentials in advance and leave Sunday for a slow breakfast, the Old Town, the sea and a long walk through Dubrovnik. 🐾
