Transport
Transport to and from Dubrovnik airport is well organized. It is a busy hub from which you can choose several options for arrival and departure. Dubrovnik Airport does not have a train station, so you will have to take either a shuttle bus, a taxi or a pre-arranged transfer to the city center to get to and from Dubrovnik.
You can find more information about the different options at the following link:
