Dubrovnik, Croatia

Where to start
Platanus airport shuttle to Ploče Gate and Gruž, or a pre-booked transfer

Dubrovnik Airport is in Čilipi, about 22 km from Dubrovnik. The Platanus airport shuttle departs after arriving flights and serves Ploče Gate, at the edge of the Old Town, and Gruž Bus Station. Taxis and Uber are available, and pre-booked drivers meet you in the arrivals hall. Remember the Old Town is pedestrianized, so no vehicle can reach every hotel door.

Local Tips

  • The airport is in Čilipi, about 22 km from Dubrovnik.
  • The Platanus shuttle stops at Ploče Gate, on the edge of the Old Town, and at Gruž Bus Station.
  • Shuttle departures follow arriving flights rather than a fixed clock timetable.
  • Taxis are available outside the terminal.
  • Pre-booked transfer drivers meet you in the arrivals hall.

Tarmyq local tip

Ploče Gate is the Old Town edge stop and Gruž serves the port and bus-station side. Because shuttle departures follow flight arrivals rather than a fixed clock, check the live timetable rather than assuming a departure time.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an airport shuttle from DBV?

Yes. The Platanus shuttle departs after arriving flights and stops at Ploče Gate and Gruž Bus Station.

Does the shuttle run for late flights?

Platanus schedules departures around arriving flights rather than a fixed clock — check the live timetable for your arrival.

Can a transfer drop me at my Old Town hotel door?

Not always. Vehicle access inside the historic pedestrian area is restricted, so the drop may be at the nearest accessible point.
