Dubrovnik

During peak season, July to August, the temperatures range from 22°C to 30°C. July is the sunniest time of the year making Croatian waters perfect for a swim, with water temperatures of 24°C. However, during the summer, Dubrovnik is flocked by tourist and the hotel prices are increasing, due to this many prefer travel in May to June or September to October. These months are still offering sunny days, warm enough to swim and the restaurants and tourist attractions are open. In the low season, November to April, most facilities are closed, and the weather is more unsteady.

Most parts of Dubrovnik are best discovered on foot. If you feel the distance is a little too far, the town has an excellent system of buses. The orange city buses are run by the company Libertas, and they run frequently and generally on time. Tickets can be bought from the bus driver and from the newspaper kiosk and it is valid for one hour for an unlimited number of rides within the city.

There are several taxi stations around the city. Head over to the main bus station in Gruž or the main ferry terminal in Gruž. There are also taxi stands in the west and east entrance to the Old town (Pile Gate).

Post in Croatia is run by Hrvatska pošta. Their official website has detailed information about postage costs and delivery times. Postage stamps are sold at the numerous newspaper kiosks and newsagent shops. The postboxes are yellow and usually affixed to walls.
