Description:

Traveling by car is a great way to visit Dubrovnik, because it gives you the freedom to explore Dubrovnik Region as well. There are numerous places and towns to be seen and a variety of things to be done. If you plan to stay in a hotel, private accommodation or camp you might experience parking difficulties in Dubrovnik due to limited parking spaces available.
Central Dubrovnik can be a nightmare when it comes to parking, and it's not uncommon to see visitors driving around in circles for hours in the hope of finding a free space. Your best bet is to head for the multi-storey car-park at Ilijina Glavica, well-placed for people entering the city from the west. A bus shuttles passengers from the car-park to the Old Town's Pile Gate, although with Pile lying a mere ten-minutes downhill on foot, you might not need it.
Parking costs 6kn/hr for the first two hours, 3kn hour for subsequent hours, or 60kn/day.
