7 Day Trips to Make from Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik, Croatia
Dubrovnik is a beautiful, Croatian port city where you can easily spend a few days to explore all the places which the city has to offer. Earlier I’ve written a city guide with all the highlights of Dubrovnik.
However, if you would like to explore more of the surroundings of the city and you do have the time, there are a lot of possibilities for day trips.

- at the borders to Bosnia & Herzegovina and Montenegro it’s obligated to show your passport and rental car documents, so keep in mind to bring your passport at all times! Furthermore, it can be quite busy at the borders depending on the time of the day. Sometimes you need to wait around an hour before you can cross borders. ......
