Best time to visit
Dubrovnik is beautiful year-round, but July and August bring crowds and higher prices. October, April and May offer good weather and fewer tourists. November (like the example flight) starts the low season: quieter streets, cheaper hotels, but some venues may have reduced hours. Winter is peaceful but wetter.
What to do when you arrive
Dubrovnik's walled Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Walk the city walls, visit the Cathedral and stroll the Stradun (main street). From there, take day trips to the Elafiti Islands or Mostar. The airport is 20 km away, served by bus. Book accommodation in advance even during low season.
