Right in the centre of the action within the walls of the Old Town is the Boutique Hotel Stari Grad, once a nobleman’s home back in the 16th century and now known for its gorgeous, converted interiors and friendly hospitality. The Pucić Place, nestled within an 18th-century baroque palace, is another option, located just a stone’s throw away from the bustling Stradun Promenade.

This is the area to stay in Dubrovnik if you’re hoping to save rather than splurge. While it’s a no-frills accommodation provider, family-run Red Dwarf Guesthouse has a spotless reputation, making it a top choice among budget-focused backpackers. Then there’s House Smajić, with its breath-taking sea views and situated just a few steps away from a bus stop for effortless and affordable transportation as you head off on your adventures.

Four-star hotel, Valamar Lacroma Dubrovnik Hotel, is a gem in the wealthy haven that is Babin Kuk with its top hotels and resorts, green spaces and coastal walks.
