Dubrovnik Airport to Dubrovnik Old Town
Zračna luka Ruđer Bošković (DBV)
Dubrovnik
Book this transfer
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.
There are five to seven of you
Private transfer
Seventy euros for the vehicle is ten each for a half-hour drive.
You arrive on a day with ships in
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.

One road, and both engines agree about it
There is a single sensible way from Čilipi into the city and both of our routing engines found it and returned the same figure: 20.32 kilometres, ten metres apart, with driving times three quarters of a minute apart. That is the tightest agreement on this site, and it happens because there is no alternative to the D8 worth modelling. The times are free-flow, which is the one thing they cannot tell you on a day with cruise ships in.
No car goes through the wall
The old town is enclosed and closed to vehicles, so every transfer ends at a gate. Pile at the western end is where most stop; Ploče serves the eastern side and the hotels beyond it. Which one you want depends on your street, and the difference is a walk of several hundred metres over polished limestone, some of it steps.
Why the searches say old town
Four times as many people search for the airport to the old town as search for it to Dubrovnik by name. That is not a quirk: the walled city is where the journey actually ends, and "Dubrovnik" on its own is ambiguous between the city, the county and the airport. Our entity is the city and the keyword carries the word the entity name does not.
Prefer to have it booked before you land?
A private transfer to Dubrovnik is arranged in advance and the driver meets you in arrivals. Prices move, so the link opens the current ones at Viator.
