Dubrovnik’s main harbor is a popular destination for its daily fresh food market and is a launch point to nearby islands.

Gruž Harbour is the main maritime entrance to Dubrovnik, a busy port for yachts, ferries and cruise ships. Near the harbor is the Dubrovnik Bus Terminal where services will take you to the Old Town, a 10-minute trip, and the outer suburbs. The large dock sits in a sheltered bay approximately 1.4 miles (2 kilometers) from Dubrovnik’s Old Town.

Go for a leisurely stroll along the promenades, then sit on one of the benches and watch the vessels come and go. Have a meal in one of the restaurants overlooking the water or grab an ice cream and enjoy this less-busy part of Dubrovnik.

One of the harbor’s most popular attractions is the daily fruit, vegetable and fish market. It’s situated on the harbor side, near the ferry terminal. Sample some of the region’s specialties, including locally made goat cheese, olive oil and wine, and buy fresh local produce such as figs, tomatoes, oranges and cabbage.

Dubrovnik has some very attractive island neighbors, including Lopud, Sipan and Koločep. Explore their beauty by taking one of the regular boat excursions from Gruž. You won’t be able to see them all in one day, as it’s worth spending at least a few hours on each.

Take the two-hour ferry from Gruž to the forested national park of Mljet on the western part of Mljet Island. This vast landscape features caves, secluded coves, salt lakes and dense woods. For up-to-date information on ferry schedules visit the official website of the Dubrovnik Tourism Board.

Gruž Harbour is approximately a 20-minute walk from the Old Town. There are also regular bus services. If you are driving, there is a 24-hour paid parking lot at the harbor and paid parking in the nearby streets.

8.8/10 Excellent! (14 reviews)

What a lovely apartment, sleek and modern inside, in such a great location pretty much just under the Fort Lovrijenac. The extensive roof terrace looks out to the sea and across to the walls of the Old Town. Photo instructions to find it are perfect, once you’ve found the pathway just to the right of the restaurant magnolia. The property manager was quick to answer any questions, and very helpful with advice if needed. Genuinely a couple of minutes walk to Pile Gate and bus links. If we get the chance we would stay again

9.8/10 Exceptional! (401 reviews)

We were very disappointed with the room. We felt deceived by what we had been promised and what was delivered. And when we asked about it, they just seemed not to care that it was an anniversary trip and did nothing to make our stay better. Even when we told them we were not happy they did nothing to make us feel better. We certainly will not stay there again. Staying there was a big letdown to end our trip with.

Excellent apartment for our stay in Dubrovnik! The AC was a blessing given how hot it was during our visit. The location was excellent as well, a quick walk to Old Town down the stairs.
