Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik's walled old town from the air: densely packed terracotta roofs running down to the old port, boats moored inside the harbour mole and open blue sea beyond.

Dubrovnik Airport is at Čilipi in Konavle, twenty kilometres south-east of the city, and the road in is the D8 cut into the cliff above the sea. Twenty to thirty minutes. A private transfer starts at 59 EUR for the vehicle, and the old town is walled, so a driver stops at a gate rather than at a door.

Which transfer should you choose?

Both routing engines returned 20.32 kilometres, agreeing to within ten metres, and their driving times differ by three quarters of a minute. That is unusually tight, and it is because there is one road: the D8 north-west along the coast, two lanes, no alternative worth taking. The times are free-flow and the cruise season is the variable they do not model.

You are staying inside the walls

Private transfer

No vehicle enters the old town. A driver stops at Pile or Ploče gate and the rest is on foot, downhill or up steps depending on your street.

Private transfer

Both engines quote free-flow times on a road with one lane each way; the approach to Pile is the part that stops moving.
